Because these dishes differ from more familiar Jewish food, they will be a discovery for many people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients, this indispensable collection of recipes includes numerous soups, both chilled and hot; vegetable dishes; meats, poultry, and fish; fruit desserts; cakes; and the German version of challah, Berches. These elegant and mostly easy-to-make recipes range from light summery fare to hearty winter foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gropmans—a mother-daughter author pair—have honoured the original recipes Gabrielle learned after arriving as a baby in Washington Heights from Germany in 1939, while updating their format to reflect contemporary standards of recipe writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSix recipe chapters offer easy-to-follow instructions for weekday meals, Shabbos and holiday meals, sausage and cold cuts, vegetables, coffee and cake, and core recipes basic to the preparation of German-Jewish cuisine. Some of these recipes come from friends and family of the authors; others have been culled from interviews conducted by the authors, prewar German-Jewish cookbooks, nineteenth-century American cookbooks, community cookbooks, memoirs, or historical and archival material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe introduction explains the basics of Jewish diet (kosher law). The historical chapter that follows sets the stage by describing Jewish social customs in Germany and then offering a look at life in the vibrant émigré community of Washington Heights in New York City in the 1940s and 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVividly illustrated with more than fifty drawings by Megan Piontkowski and photographs by Sonya Gropman that show the cooking process as well as the delicious finished dishes, \u003cem\u003eThe German-Jewish Cookbook\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to readers curious about ethnic cooking and how it has evolved, and to anyone interested in exploring delicious new recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47487596134636,"sku":"9781611688733","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/196ced170347564b78c0ba27ba19668a.jpg?v=1775772859"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/gabrielle-rossmer-gropman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
