About the book: 2015 / It’s no secret that for Jews food is our everything. Maybe it sits in the subcortex, where the memory of those times was preserved when God’s chosen people, persecuted throughout the world, experienced a constant feeling of hunger. Mikhail Zhvanetsky describes the preparation of a simple salad with delight and adoration in his popular miniature. And how Sholom Aleichem delighted his readers in his poems dedicated to Jewish cuisine! Jews have a special respect for the process of eating food, and on holidays they arrange real feasts for themselves and their loved ones. Depending on the holiday, special dishes are served on the table. This book contains simple recipes that do not require special preparation and consist of the simplest ingredients. If you try to cook something according to these recipes and you like it, I will be very pleased.
