<p>“<i>Eat Jewish</i> is truly a unique publication. On the one hand it is a very readable explanation of the dishes that were common in the author’s varied Jewish background, together with easy-to-follow recipes for them, and large color photographs of how each should look. On the other it is an in-depth explanation of the relationship of Jewish religion and culture with the food that is special to it. Any non-Jewish reader will find a truly enlightening explanation of the Jewish way of life, and the food that accompanies it. This is a book to be enjoyed and mulled over time and again.
