Jewish Cookery from Boston to Baghdad

³What is Jewish food?² In North America, we think of gefillte fish, bagels and lox, and chopped liver. These foods are the legacy of Eastern European Jews who immigrated to this continent in the 19th century. However, Sephardic and Oriental Jews define Jewish food in terms of couscous, borekas and chiles rellenos. This book offers us a guided tour through the cuisines and customs of such diverse Jewish communities as the Beta Israel of Ethiopia, the Bene Yisrael of India, and the Jews of K¹aifeng-fu in China. Filled with fascinating vignettes and mouth-watering recipes, the book includes a glossary and an introduction to Jewish communities and food customs.Liebman, Malvina W. is the author of 'Jewish Cookery from Boston to Baghdad', published 2001 under ISBN 9780788196010 and ISBN 0788196014.
