Jewish cuisine is something I know little about and curiously there are not many recipe books dedicated to Jewish cooking. I recently acquired a book first published in 1947: Jewish Cookery by Florence Greenberg (and revised a few times) The version I have is from 1963. I've been trying to make a list of all the recipes which have names I don't recognise or which I know are Jewish from the index. But in fact, a majority of the recipes are a mixture of quite classic cooking and very recognisable Western dishes. I will post up the list here when I finish it.
The one and only time I experienced Jewish cooking was many years ago when two Jewish friends in London took me to a Jewish restaurant/café. Its so long ago I can't remember what I ate but I know I was fascinated.
Do any forum members have Jewish heritage or knowledge of Jewish cooking? Is the reason there aren't many Jewish cook books because the recipes are family recipes and there is no need for recipe books? I'm curious.
