Inhaltsangabe

Introduction: Recipe for a cookbook . XXI
So I'm sitting minding my own business, and I'm thinking, I know. I'll
collect my aunts' recipes and put them in a book. So look what happened!
Meet the family, each with a recipe and a story to tell. You're gonna need
a scorecard. (The photos will help.)
B'raysheet: in the beginning . XXIX
Back in Slonim, first they liked us, then they hated us-Papa Harry said,
"Enough already!" How my grandparents set down roots in the Promised Land,
and from there sprang the whole mishpuchah.
Cooking kosher. XLVI
To play the game you gotta know the rules. If you're observant, you know
all this stuff already. If not, here's a quick course in separating the
meat from the dairy.
Appetizers .. 3
A little nosh before the main event. Not "little" like the French with
their dainty amuse-bouches. Not that little. And why just one? Have a knish
and borekas and some chopped liver too. And a little hummus would be good.
And try the eggplant. Hummus with the eggplant. M-m-m-m.
Soups.. 61
I don't care what you say-my mother's chicken soup really is better than
your mother's. Better than anybody's. But it doesn't stop there. Carrot,
Mushroom Barley, Roasted Beet Borscht, lentil . . . and Shiitake Mushroom
Matzoh Balls to go with them all! Soups from the Old World and soups from
the New.
Salads...93
You peel, you chop, and then you crunch. From Mandarin to Indian to
Israeli, Korean, and Thai-I mean the salads, not the people. They're
Jewish. Well, some of them are Israeli. Oh, you get the idea.
Meats...127
You're thinking, Jewish cookbook-brisket. (Not that there's anything wrong
with that!) We've got four, not counting two for the cholents, and darn
proud of it! But there's also Moroccan Spicy Apricot Lamb Shanks, Hazelnut
Crusted Rack of Lamb, Osso Buco, Spanish Short Rib Stew. . . . Go ahead.
Browse.
Poultry...171
Toasted with fennel, baked with cherries and chili sauce, stir-fried with
walnuts, grilled with mustard and herbs-if it clucks you'll find it here.
And no part of the chicken- or turkey or hen-is ever wasted.
Fish...217
There's more than herring and gefilte in this chapter. Okay, lox too. Okay,
herring and gefilte are in appetizers, and lox is in breakfast. But the
other fish are here, like salmon five ways to Sunday and sea bass and
halibut and mahi-mahi and . . .
Vegetables...239
They didn't eat 'em in Slonim, but we're in this country now. Flash-roasted
asparagus. Portobello wrap. Southwestern Tsimmes in Chile Pockets. Triple
Corn Pudding to die for. Spinach-Stuffed Squash. So be good and eat your
veggies. Dessert is coming in just 130 pages.
Potatoes, noodles, rice, and grains...267
You want comfort? I'll give you comfort: Three kinds of latkes, a dozen
noodle kugels, pirogen (potato and cheese), mamaliga, shlishkes, stuffings,
sweet potatoes-with marshmallows, sure, but also with pecans or
honey-orange glaze. And these they call side dishes?
Breads...325
You don't have to be Jewish to love challah. But put away the knife and
tear off a piece. Unless you're making a French toast casserole or challah
chips. Then you can use the knife. And if you don't have a bread machine,
get one for the pita. You'll thank me. (If you're looking for onion rolls,
pretzels, biscuits, and scones, they're in here too.)
Breakfast...347
The most important meal of the day. Well, the most fun. Try the
Hoppel-Poppel or blintzes or Apple-Cinnamon Pancakes or- wait! Caramel
French Toast-no! Apple and Cheese-Stuffed French Toast. Oh, I can't make up
my mind! You pick. Surprise me.
Cakes...369
Now we're talking. Everything sweet and yummy. Old-fashioned Apple Cake.
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Peach, orange, and honey-orange sponge.
Five kinds of cheesecake. And did I mention chocolate? Coffee cakes. Pound
cake. Aunt Sally's Red, White, and Blue. Cut me just a sliver. Well, maybe
a little bigger than that. Oh, give me that knife!
Pies and pastries...435
How a dough phobic found joy and happiness learning to make pie crust. (And
if I can do it, you can too!) Now to fill it: towering apple topped with
walnut crunch, rhubarb, pecan, lemon meringue, Key lime with mountains of
whipped cream . . . and baklava, strudel (and I'm not talking with
filo-that would be cheating-I mean the real deal).
Cookies...457
Jews invented cookies. At least dunking cookies. Okay, at least baking them
by the dozens. Mandelbrot, rugelach, kichel, chocolate chip. Brownies,
hamantaschen, New York Black & Whites. Rolled out, dropped, spread into
bars, boiled in honey . . . that would be the taiglach, but promise me
you'll be careful. That honey is hot! (Don't make me tell you twice.)
Desserts and candy...505
In case there aren't enough sweets already, here's a fourth chapter. (Some
people have a sweet tooth, but we have sweet teeth, every one of them.)
You'll need a spoon: soufflé, flan, trifle, chocolate mousse, tiramisù,
puddings, custard . . . you know, all that sweet, slippery, wobbly, and
jiggly stuff. Oh, and candy too. Just 'cuz.
Passover...535
Leave it to the Jews to take a board of matzoh and fashion a feast.
Restrictions? Hah! We wait all year for this stuff. Yemenite Haroset
Truffles, kugels savory and sweet, Sephardic Chicken, Mom's Killer Brisket
with Tsimmes. And the sweets! Chocolate Fudge Pecan Pie, meringues, sponge
cakes aplenty . . . we invented the term "I'm stuffed."
Drinks...595
A woozy little dink of a chapter. But thirst quenching. (This family is
more likely to crowd the Viennese table than an open bar!) Yet several
stalwarts save us from total abstinence with their Sea Breeze, Margarita,
French 75. . . . Then there's my husband's Egg Cream and malted. You'll
have a glass of tea, a cup of coffee-it'll be fine.
Conversion tables...612
No, silly, not that kind of conversion. You know, metric and cups to quarts
and all that good stuff you can't remember from geometry . . . or was it
algebra?
Who's who...613
Did I mention you were gonna need a scorecard? For the photo montages
you'll want to know the players. Take notes. There'll be a test later.
Credits...614
Here's a list of the professional photographers and cookbook authors who so
generously allowed me to use their work.
Index...615
You're so busy you can't just sit there and read? Suit yourself. You'll
look it up and you'll find it. But don't complain to me if you miss
something.
