by Joan Nathan
ebook
2 of 2 copies available
In Jewish tradition, holidays are a time for family and feasting, and for Joan Nathan, nothing embodies the holiday spirit more than cooking delicious festive favorites with friends and loved ones. When her own children were young, Nathan published the first version of this book, which covers nine Jewish holidays and includes step-by-step instructions for kids and their families to prepare accessible feasts.
Now she updates a beloved go-to resource for her grandchildren’s generation (Out with the Pot Roast! In with the Tahini Shakes!) and adds a heaping helping of new recipes. Included are dishes old and new, traditional and novel, and mouthwatering recipes that everyone will enjoy, from Moroccan Apricot Chicken and Chicken Schnitzel Tenders to Mushroom Kreplach Dumplings and Veggie Quiche.
Included are essays on the history of Jewish holidays, instructions for how to celebrate them, and craft activities such as making challah covers and candlesticks. Here are also personal essays on how Nathan’s family celebrates the holidays and various menus that can be mixed and matched. For young chefs, recipes also specify the ingredients, equipment, and steps suitable for children to do both by themselves or with adults. This charming book is the comprehensive guide to Jewish holidays and celebrations, and it will help make memories that will last a lifetime.
Included are recipes such as: •Rainbow-Colored Challah •Bagels with Apple and Cream Cheese Spread •Shakshouka •Banana strawberry pancakes •Fruit Noodle Kugel •Pasta with Pesto and Vegetables •Potato Latkes •Apple Honey Cupcakes •Date Tahini Banana Milkshake

Nathan, acclaimed and award-winning author of several cookbooks primarily focused on Jewish food and culture, has written an update to her beloved 1987 book The Children's Jewish Holiday Kitchen. Focusing on keeping the meaning and history behind Jewish holiday traditions and food, the work is updated to bring a modern flair to Nathan's recipes. No longer is meat considered the focus of many of her dishes; now families are given vegetarian recipes like hummus and pancakes that align with concerns about modern-day issues surrounding climate and the environment. The book highlights nine Jewish holidays, with approachable descriptions of each, along with menus provided at the beginning of each chapter, including four seasonal options for Shabbat dinners. Each recipe provides clear ingredient and equipment lists that are terrific springboards for a discussion of their importance and significance in conversations between adults and children. Directions are good at identifying which steps are fit for children, adults, or a collaboration between the two. VERDICT This is a nice volume that encourages family connection and honors tradition. A solid win for shelves seeking to highlight Jewish cuisine, and a good resource for young chefs.--Ron Block
