Summary: Like being back my grandmother's kitchen
Review: For both traditional and modernized Jewish soul food, this book has quickly become a treasured resource. The recipies are straightforward, not pretentious or gratutuitiously glamourous, and are delicious and easy to prepare. It's traditional ethnic dishes and more, with a wonderful, friendly emphasis on entertaining and sharing events and holidays with families, making food a part of the memories.

Summary: A Find!
Review: I bought this because I was looking for easy but delicious passover recipes. Doralee Patinkin Rubin really came through for me. Her apple cake and Baked Chicken a l'orange were great. I made a few other recipes and they were thoroughly enjoyed. Her recipes if not all technically kosher come from that great tradition of Jewish women many of us were fortunate enough to have as mothers and grandmothers.

Review: This book brings me back to my mother's kitchen. It brings back memories and even the smells of the Gefilte Fish and the Challah baking in the oven.I made her Artichoke Dip and the people who tasted it,cried.I've been cooking for many years and never have I read such a nostalgic Jewish cookbook.I am waiting with baited breath for her next cookbook.

Summary: If your Jewish grandma is (or was) a great cook...
Review: this is what she would make.Delicious, festive and family dishes that bring back memories are supplemented with new staples of the American diet, which make this an all around good cookbook for nostalgia and more. The food is hearty, wholesome, easy to prepare and shop for; not special ordering or trips running around town for esoteric ingredients. And like any good grandma's recipies, emphasizes entertaining family and friends with old favorites as well as experimentation. I highly recommend it.
