Notes about this book

  • robm on December 20, 2010

    Fascinating look at Jewish cooking in France. French Jewish cooking has become very varied, especially following the large post-war migration to France of Jews from North Africa. Now, specialities from the Maghreb mingle with classic French dishes, all adapted to the rules of kashrut, of course. Nathan traveled all over the country researching this book, so it contains recipes from the varied regions of France. She also writes about the Jewish contributions to French cuisine -- did you know that it was probably the Jews who introduced foie gras to France? Or that cassoulet is probably a variation of the traditional bean pots that Jews prepared for the Sabbath? This is a very welcome addition to the Jewish cookbook shelf!
