Classic
Italian Jewish Cooking starts with the
ancient Italian adage Vesti da turco e
mangia da ebreo (Dress like a Turk and
eat like a Jew). In this definitive
volume of Italian Jewish recipes, Edda
Servi Machlin, a native of Pitigliano,
Italy, a Tuscan village that was once
home to a vibrant Jewish community,
reveals the secrets of this delicate and
unique culinary tradition that has
flourished for more than two thousand
years.
Classic
Italian Jewish Cooking
Traditional Recipes and Menus
by Edda Servi Machlin
In this definitive volume of Italian
Jewish recipes, Edda Servi Machlin, a
native of Pitigliano, Italy, a Tuscan
village that was once home to a vibrant
Jewish community, reveals the secrets of
this delicate and unique culinary
tradition that has flourished for more
than two thousand years. More than a
mere adaptation of Italian dishes, it is
a brilliant marriage of ancient Jewish
dishes and preparation methods to the
local ingredients, relying on the
imaginative use of fresh herbs, fruit
and vegetables, and enriched by
Sephardic dishes from Spain and
Portugal.
Here you will find recipes for the
quintessential Italian Jewish dishes --
Goose "Ham", Spicy Chicken Liver Toasts,
and Jewish caponata to Sabbath Saffron
Rice, Purim Ravioli, Tagliatelle Jewish
Style, Creamed Baccala, Creamed Fennel,
Fried Squash Flowers, Sourdough Challah,
Haman's Ears, and Passover Almond
Biscotti. And much more!
Filled with beautifully rendered
memories from the authors birthplace,
this rare collection of more than three
hundred recipes is a powerful tribute to
a rich cultural heritage and a rare gift
to food lovers. With a special section
on Jewish holiday menus, Classic Italian
Jewish Cooking is a volume to treasure
for generations.(418 Pages) |
