  • Is the City a Jewish-Food Desert? One Jew Seeing That There Are Many Jewish Recipes Weighs the Evidence
    FAMISHED This city, I had been told, was a Jewish-food desert. Yes, there were bagels, but they were abominations. And yes, there was Wise Sons, the two-year- old Mission delicatessen slinging up- dated, conscientiously sourced Semitic staples—or Jewveau cuisine, as I prefer to call it. But, the kvetch went, one or two decent pastrami sandwiches do not a Jewish-food hub make. Shortly after I ar- rived, the scope of the region’s supposed deprivation was exposed when a pop-up traffi cking $6, day-old Russ & Daughters bagels drew two-hour lines. It made me wonder what, exactly, those people were waiting for: an overpriced bagel, or what it represented? In considering the question, I’ve been weighing my own assumptions, not only about food but also about Jews, immigra- tion patterns, assimilation, and context. And unfair comparisons: According to Yaron Milgrom, a fellow expat New York Jew and an owner of the growing Local Mission empire, complaining that San Francisco’s Jewish food isn’t as good as New York’s is “like saying that our Japa- nese food isn’t as good as Tokyo’s.” Or, to put it another way, what did you expect? An avatar of Bay Area New York has more of everything: peo- Jewveau cuisine: ple, lox, Jews. And not just any Jews, but Gefi lte fi sh on a Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews. bed of kale from Saul’s Restaurant This last detail, says local writer and & Delicatessen. cookbook author Joyce Goldstein, is a big part of why the streets of San Francisco aren’t heaving with matzo balls and bris- ket—and also betrays our limited concept of Jewish cuisine.

Other editions. Kosher Recipes Appetizers Bread Challah. With over recipes for classic NY deli dishes you can make it yourself and WOW your family and friends. The brown sugar gave this stew a sweet flavor while the vinegar offered a contrasting kick to it. To make the sauce, place the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne in a blender and blend on medium speed until frothy. If this book is any indication of what I will find - I am in for a treat. I have yet to give cookbooks produced by Andrews McMeel Publishers less than 4 stars. Curried Lentil and Sweet Potato Soup - classic flavor, new to me with the sweet potato. They are not authentic enough, they are not how their favourite deli does something, they use all of the wrong ingredients to make a classic but all one can say here was pah! Thank you! Decrease the heat so the water is just below a simmer. Community Reviews. Watching delicious foods come together from nothing rather than from a bunch of pre-made ingredients provides a sense of satisfaction. The author makes it LOOK easy, but many of these recipes take quite a bit of finesse - babka, rugelach, bagels. Open Preview See a Problem?

  • The Price Library of Judaica Cookbook Collection Currently
    The Price Library of Judaica Cookbook Collection Currently (in 2018) counting over 110,000 volumes, the total extent of the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica dwarfs the hundred-some titles in the Price Library Cookbook Collection. Numbers and quantity, also in this case, should not be understood as indicator of quality, however. The Price Library Cookbook Collection is a kaleidoscope of Jewish foodways all over the world, a sample of the multifaceted Jewish culinary literature worldwide that illustrates the cultural significance of cuisine in Jewish life across centuries and regions. The books in the collection are part housed in the Judaica Suite on Smathers Library’s second floor as well as in the northwest corner of Library West’s first floor, mostly among the Judaica Library reference books. They approach Jewish food preparation in various ways: according to geographical origin, seasons and holidays, and types of dishes. Some are reflecting on historical food ways or present new variations and recipes and others are composed by individuals or collectives, and so on. Naturally, a great divide among these cookbooks is whether they adhere to Jewish dietary rules, kashrut. Most of the community cookbooks ignore these rules, while others offer recipes that abide with fundamental religious prescriptions, leaving it to the reader and home cook whether the execution of the recipes will also abide by kashrut. (For example, one of the basic requirements in kosher cooking is to use kosher meat products, which not only means that the flesh of only those animals that are permitted to be consumed should are used in the recipes, but also that the sourced animals are slaughtered according to the rules of kosher slaughter.) Regarding the interpretation of the dietary rules, however, there are differences depending on geographical regions and historical periods.

    Insights for Innovation and Inspiration from Thomas W. Griffiths, CMC Vice President, Campbell’s Culinary & Baking Institute (CCBI) Tracking the ebb and flow of North American food trends can be a daunting task, even for a seasoned culinary professional, which is why we take a team approach to monitoring food trends. We begin with our most valued resource—culinary intuition. We draw first on the expertise of our global team of chefs and bakers and the inspiration that they find in culinary tours, literature and many other sources including our trusted industry partners. This year we have taken our collective ideas and compiled our first-ever CCBI Culinary TrendScape report, which highlights what we see as the trends to watch—the foods that excite our palettes and our imagination. Some of these trends may inspire future Campbell products, while some may not. Either way, we think it’s important to stay on the pulse of what people are eating and how their tastes are evolving as a result of global influences. 2014 HOT TOPICS This 2014 Culinary TrendScape report offers our unique point of view on what we’ve These themes are identified as the ten most dynamic food trends to watch, from Brazilian Cuisine to the driving force behind Bolder Burgers.

  • In Pastrami We Trust: a History of the American Jewish Delicatessen from 1880 to the Present Daniel Schwarz, MA Candidate In
    In Pastrami We Trust: A History of the American Jewish Delicatessen from 1880 to the Present Daniel Schwarz, MA candidate in Public History, American University Somewhere on East Houston Street, you will find it. Walk past the bustling pizza parlors and Chinese restaurants. Wind your way through the endless rows of old tenement buildings where dilapidated ground floors are now occupied by upscale clothing boutiques and coffee shops. Follow the crowds of hungry tourists and enthusiastic locals, and before you know it, you will find yourself standing under the flashing neon sign of the last Lower East Side deli.1 Katz’s Deli has been in business since 1888, and in recent years, it has gained recognition for defying an unfortunate trend. For the last few decades, the deli has slowly disappeared from the American landscape. It is stunning to think that even during the Great Depression, when countless businesses struggled to stay afloat, some five thousand delis flourished throughout New York City.2 Now that Katz’s stands as the last bastion of a neighborhood’s culinary tradition, thousands of tourists and New Yorkers make the pilgrimage each day. They come, because they are hungry, and they crave the garlicky, smoked pastrami crammed between two slices of soft rye with plenty of golden mustard. Older patrons may have childhood memories of eating at Katz’s or other delis, and turn in their tickets at the tall glass counter with the hope that they can relive their youth. Still, there are other customers who may be Jewish, and not particularly religious, 1 David Sax, Save the Deli: In Search of Perfect Pastrami, Crusty Rye, and the Heart of Jewish Delicatessen (New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2009), 8.
