    A work of genius; breath-taking in its scope
  

*by H***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2006*

Claudia Roden's opus, THE BOOK OF JEWISH FOOD, must be considered the definitive work on the history of the cuisine of the Jewish people.Anyone wishing to own a single Jewish cookbook need look no further than THE BOOK OF JEWISH FOOD.This is a work of amazing scholarship, tantamount to a doctoral dissertation which clearly would earn honors; a Nobel laureate if that award were to be granted for cookery books.Roden takes on a subject that almost is too vast, covering every area in which there ever has been a Jewish population, including Ethiopia, India and China.She not only presents a large variety of recipes typical of each separate region, but she illustrates both the similarities of these recipes and their differences.The food, well, the food is marvelous; delicious enough in the description that one's mouth waters merely reading the text.This book is much more than a cookbook. It is a work of social anthropology and food historiography, with recipes that are--yes!--good enough to eat.THE BOOK OF JEWISH FOOD is a work of genius. It clearly is the definitive Jewish cookbook for the coming millennia.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    This is the best book on Jewish Food and related history ever!
  

*by A***W on Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2018*

This is my go-to book for Friday night dinners and every Jewish festival when we have people round. I love trying things from around the world rather than just the familiar same old family dishes. I also love all the stories and history which she includes amongst all the recipes, brings the dishes alive and makes me want to cook them more. Even my husband likes to read the book as he's interested in Jewish history.  I have bought so many copies of this book now for friends, teachers etc and it has made a great wedding and Batmitzvah gift too (even Barmitzvahs as don't wish to be sexist!).
