For each holiday, Nathan presents menus from different cuisinesMoroccan, Russian, German, and contemporary American are just a fewthat show how the traditions of Jewish food have taken on new forms around the world. There are dishes that you will remember from your mothers table and dishes that go back to the Second Temple, family recipes that you thought were lost and other families recipes that you have yet to discover. Explaining their origins and the holidays that have shaped them, Nathan spices these delicious recipes with delightful stories about the people who have kept these traditions alive.

CONTENTS
PREFACE

It hardly seems possible that twenty-five years have gone by since the publication of The Jewish Holiday Kitchen. But this year does not mark a milestone just for me. This year we celebrate the three hundred and fifty years that have passed since the first Jews arrived in America. It is, therefore, a special honor that Schocken Books chose to publish my comprehensive new cookbook as Joan Nathans Jewish Holiday Cookbook to mark this momentous occasion, a cookbook that combines both The Jewish Holiday Kitchen and The Jewish Holiday Baker, as well as a selection of the articles I have written for the New York Times over the last twenty-five years.

The Jewish Holiday Kitchen has brought me great joy through the years, due in no small part to the wonderful feedback I have received from readers and people I have met in my travels on the lecture circuit. Hundreds of others have written me lettersthough now most send e-mailwith their own family recipes, many of which have been included in subsequent editions of this book. Recipes come from so many countries: Mexico, Yemen, Algeria, Bulgaria, Poland, Russia, Egypt, and Israel, just to name a few. Some of them, such as the Yemenite High Holiday Soup Stew, may date back to the time of the Queen of Sheba. Some are the last vestige of families of Holocaust survivors, who brought to this country recipes that became a testament to those family members who were destroyed, recipes that now, as then, serve as a reminder of what we have lost. How many times people have come up to me and told me that they wished they had taken the time to watch a parent or grandparent cook! They are thrilled to find their lost family recipes in my cookbook.

To write The Jewish Holiday Kitchen, which first appeared in 1979, I tracked down the best Jewish cooks I could find. The men and women cooks were often already in their seventies or eighties. Measuring cups and spoons in hand, I spent hours, sometimes days, watching them cook and learning their techniques. And I listened to their stories, trying as best I could to record their oral histories with their recipes. Even though we have so many updated recipes these days, I am thrilled that the dishes in this book have stood the test of time and will always, I hope, be with usto help us celebrate our holidays and to comfort us throughout the year. Sadly, many of the men and women who contributed to The Jewish Holiday Kitchen have now passed away, but their wonderful dishes remain as tasty memories of the Jewish past. This is their legacy to us.

The last quarter century has been an extraordinarily productive time in the Jewish cookbook world. In 1979, the Library of Congress, which houses the worlds largest collection of books, listed no more than one hundred Jewish cookbooks, from here or anywhere else in the world, in their entire catalogue. Since then, more than three hundred new Jewish cookbooks have been added to the Librarys collection. This does not include most of the cookbooks published by sisterhood and other organizations. Titles cover nearly every ethnic cuisine: Kurdish, Italian, Moroccan, Turkish, South African, Bulgarian, and more. Cookbooks for Jewish vegetarians are now available, as are cookbooks in Hebrew devoted to kugels and pashtidot. Claudia Rodens comprehensive The Book of Jewish Food, Elizabeth Ehrlichs Miriams Kitchen, and Cara DaSilvas In Memorys Kitchen, which captures the spirit of women who perished in Theresienstadt, are among the greatest contributions to our understanding of the importance of food.

In the Jewish cooking of Borscht Belt boardinghouses and Lower East Side delis, it was usually Mama who cooked home-style stuffed cabbage and brisket in the back room. Gradually, as business improved, outside cooks began to take over the kitchen, but they served the same family-style food. Today there is a new breed of young American superstar chefsmany of whom just happen to be Jewishmen and women with college educations who have chosen the profession as their creative outlet. Sometimes these chefs draw upon their Jewish roots when crafting their menus. And at their own holiday tables, traditional recipes, with regional variations, invariably find a place. These are among the recipes I have included. As Julia Child told me recently, in the old days the cookbook writers set the pace. Now it is the chefs.
