Classic Italian Jewish Cooking
Traditional Recipes and Menus by Edda Servi Machlin
Publisher: Harper Collins, 2005
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)
