The Jewish Princess Feasts & Festivals

Book excerpt: The Princesses are back in the kitchen and ready to COOK! So raise a glass, say Lechayim, and get ready. Georgie Tarn and Tracey Fine, authors of the delightful Jewish Princess Cookbook, bring their culinary wisdom and irrepressible good spirits to a new enterprise. This time, they’re cooking up memorable feasts for family and friends--and readers are invited to indulge in wonderful recipes for Purim, Passover, Rosh Hashanah, Chanukkah, and many other special holidays where food is central to the festivities. And there’s more: Tarn and Fine share great ideas for a Bris Brunch, Bar and Bat Mitvahs, weddings, and cozy, casual dinners that combine traditional Jewish dishes with nouveau recipes destined to become new "classics.” A heady concoction of wit, humor, charm, personal stories, and delicious recipes, this book finishes up with a must-see list of amusing Yiddishisms. And the colorful retro art used throughout is the icing on the (Melting Nutty Raspberry Meringue) cake!
