In the Jewish Tradition: A Year of Foods and Festivities

I really like this book. Even if you buy it used for LESS than a dollar, as I see it is being sold, buy a few because they also would make great presents. The CHALLAH recipie is unbeatable! Try it out!

This book gives a little bit of everything. Organized according to the Jewish calendar, it has chapters for all the holidays. The histories and traditions of the holidays are explained in a clear and concise way.Of course, it contains that hallmark of Jewish culture: food. Wonderful recipes are interspersed with beautiful photos of delicious food. Want a recipe for poppyseed hamantashen? Just find you way to Purim.The design of this book is beautiful. It has plenty of art and photos. And the recipes are first-rate. My favorite? The challah recipe, of course. It's absolutely fabulous.My only problem is choosing whether to put this in my living room as a coffee-table book or on my kitchen counter as a cookbook.
