My old standby. December 1, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the most useful Jewish cookbook on my shelf. Better than the glitzy hardcover ones with full-color photos. Better than any of the big names in Jewish cooking (although I suppose Mama Leah is a big name of her own, having run a chain of takeout shops in NY). This book is hands-down the Ashkenazi cooking primer. The recipes are simple and no-frills. They are easy to follow and amazingly they always turn out tasting just like I remember the foods from my childhood.

I own a number of Jewish cookbooks but this one can be counted on all of the time. The instructions are easy to follow and all of the recipes are delicious. Over the years I have made close to half of them and I have not been disappointed. It reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen.
The best brisket I have ever had and I've had good brisket April 19, 2002

I have had alot of recipes from Jewish Cook Books and I have cooked alot of briskets in my life, but the Polish brisket with the brown sugar and vinegar is unbelievable. I have made it many times and have never had it turn out bad. I actually double the sauce recipe since everyone loves it so much. YUM!!
... Don't miss this great Jewish cooking. Try it and you'll see. Remember...make that great brisket...the best ever.
Oy! Machia! July 23, 2001
I am an A.K. and male , so I can't easily perform the kitchen gymnastics that most cookbooks expect. This delightful and easy to read book, with easy to follow recipes, allows me to really duplicate the flavors that came from my bubbe's kitchen over a half century ago in Brooklyn. All the traditional delights are here, from chicken SOUP to prune-NUTS squares. So far I have prepared over a dozen of the recipes and have found all of them to taste just as I remember. Thank you Mama Leah.
One-stop shopping for all the great Jewish recipes! March 18, 2001

This book has all of the wonderful Jewish recipes, including Chicken Soup, Challah, Blintzes, Kugel recipes, many poultry, fish, meat, and vegetable recipes. I own several Jewish cookbooks, but this is the only one with practical recipes. Everything in the book is generally easy to prepare, and comes out wonderfully. I made the Chicken Soup last night. I would especially recommend this book to people who are just beginning to cook Jewish food, or those wishing they had their grandmother's "secret" recipes. Also, it's a small book (yet packed with good information), so it won't take up a lot of space in your kitchen like most cookbooks. Love it, love it, love it!
