Sephardic Holiday Cooking by Gilda Angel

Hardcover– No DJ

A culinary adventure you will want to make again and again.

Thanks to Mrs. Angel’s thorough research and extensive knowledge, cooks of all abilities can now prepare authentic Sephardic dishes using the author’s easy to follow kitchen-tested directions. Over 200 tasty dishes from the many lands of Sephardic settlement. Each recipe has been carefully reviewed and all quantities translated from handfuls, glasses and pinches into percise measurements. Clear and instructive diagrams accompany the more intricate steps. Only readily available ingredients and standard kitchenware are needed to prepare any dish.

In addition to paralleling the Jewish calendar, Sephardic Holiday Cooking reflects the annual harvest cycle. Each holiday’s recipes make use of the fresh produce then reaching the marketplace. Leeks and artichokes are included in the springtime Passover dishes; pumpkin and zucchini are popular in foods served in the autumn on Rosh Hashanah and Succoth. Throughout the book, fresh and natural ingredients are blended with fragrant herbs and spices to produce festive and flavorful meals. Introduction by Rabbi Marc Angel.(284 Pages)
