What a package deal-- 2 autographed cookbooks by Joan Nathan and a $25 Gift Certificate to Abigael's on Broadway, where her son Jeff Nathan is executive chef!

Autographed Cookbooks

Joan Nathan's great enthusiasm and knowledge have gained her a national reputation as the maven of the Jewish kitchen. She has personally signed two of her cookbooks for our fundraising event, and both would make great gifts or perhaps  addition to your own cookbook collection. The books are: 

The Children's Jewish Holiday Kitchen

There could be no more festive way to introduce Jewish children to their Jewish heritage than through the food associated with the holidays. Here are seventy child-centered recipes and cooking activities from around the world in which the entire family can participate. The recipes are old and new, traditional and novel--everything from hamantashen to pretzel bagels, chicken soup with matzah balls to matzah pizza, cheese blintzes to vegetarian chopped liver, challah to halvah, fruit kugel to Persian pomegranate punch.

Jewish Holiday Cookbook

 Jewish holidays are defined by food. Yet Jewish cooking is always changing, encompassing the flavors of the world, embracing local culinary traditions of every place in which Jews have lived and adapting them to Jewish observance. This collection, the culmination of Joan Nathan’s decades of gathering Jewish recipes from around the world, is a tour through the Jewish holidays as told in food. For each holiday, Nathan presents menus from different cuisines—Moroccan, Russian, German, and contemporary American are just a few—that show how the traditions of Jewish food have taken on new forms around the world. There are dishes that you will remember from your mother’s 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.
