“An engaging book, written with love, that is about pleasure and identity and creating bonds and conviviality. It is full of recipes that make you want to cook delicious food inspired by Jewish culture.” Claudia Roden, author of the The Book of Jewish Food: An Odyssey from Samarkand to New York” “Having been in the “Jewish food business” for 100 years, we Russes believed that we knew it all. But in this marvelous cookbook there are new dishes we had never seen and traditional dishes prepared in new ways. It is clear that all of the recipes have been created and presented lovingly.” Mark Russ Federman, 3rd Generation, Russ & Daughters and author of Russ & Daughters: Reflections and Recipes from the House That Herring Built” “As practical as it is beautiful, this gorgeously illustrated book could not be more timely both in spirit and fact. It celebrates the the pleasures of home-cooking and shared meals with local and natural ingredients in tempting recipes both traditional and innovative.” Mimi Sheraton, author of 1000 Foods to Eat Before You Die” “These recipes will entice the home cook and bring us all back to the table.” Joan Nathan, author of Quiches, Kugels and Couscous: My Search for Jewish Cooking in France” “The way to anyone’s heart is through his or her stomach, and in the tradition of The Settlement Cookbook, Katja, Judy, and Lisa bring us all to their community’s table with mouthwatering recipes and charming anecdotes. With updated Jewish classics and good home cooking, let’s hope this collaborative effort brings us back to the Jewish table. Bravo!” Joan Nathan, author of Quiches, Kugels and Couscous: My Search for Jewish Cooking in France”
