Synopsis

There are few things more important in Jewish culture than food and many of the most iconic Jewish dishes have made their way firmly into mainstream culture. Who doesn't know that chicken soup - or Jewish Penicillin - is guaranteed to help you if you have a cold or flu. And, whilst you may not associate the stereotype of the Jewish Princess with ever venturing remotely near the kitchen, Jewish Princesses - and they know who they are - know that even in the 21st century eating remains at the heart of family life. The authors of this irreverent cookbook have produced a host of fabulous traditional as well as nouveau dishes of Jewish cuisine. A foolproof guide to the ultimate Friday night dinner sits alongside a delicious new twist on Bread and Butter Pudding - Choc-Challah Pudding anyone? There are also hilarious gems of Jewish Princess wisdom scattered throughout - 'What does a Jewish Princess make for dinner?' 'Reservations!' Reading this book it's easy to see that we all have a little bit of the Jewish Princess inside us - it's more than just a cookbook - it's a way of life!

From the Author

We love Desperate Housewives, Sex in the City, fabulous film stars and glamorous celebrities. It struck us that they all had one thing in common, they are all Princesses. As two proud Jewish Princesses we had never seen this term as a negative and we wanted to pass on this message to our readers, and turn the term "Jewish Princess" around. After all, a true JP is a woman who wants to look after her family and friends, but also wants to look after herself. She wants to have her cake, eat it but look like she hasn’t!
So we created a cookbook that gives you an insight into Jewish Princess cooking (no the pages aren’t blank) culture and comedy. Our J.P is a friend in the kitchen who says to the reader, "If I can do it, you can do it." Just remember to be "P.P.P. Positive, Productive and of course Princess like." We hope you love our piece of "Chick-en Lit" and enjoy the many easy, delicious dishes we have created. We are sure that by the time you have finished reading The Jewish Princess Cookbook you will recognize the JP gene in you and you don’t even have to be Jewish, so enjoy!
