The Wonderful World of Jewish Cooking
Among the many traditions that Jewish families hold dear,
Jewish cooking is still the best of them.
My brother, Armin Feldman, and I (Dorene Sager) just wrote a cookbook, Our Mother’s Recipes, Carrying on a
Tradition of Jewish Food and Jewish Recipes. Let's face it, everyone loves Jewish cooking. Who doesn’t love going to the deli? Whether
you've grown up in a Jewish family and have enjoyed Jewish meals your entire life
or you're new to the world of Jewish cooking and have just recently realized
just how much these traditional meals have to offer, we think you’ll love our
new cookbook. All of the recipes come from a treasure
trove of our mother’s recipes we discovered after she passed away. In getting our mom’s things in order we found
hundreds of hand written and typed recipes she had stored in several shopping
bags.
So what, exactly, makes Jewish cooking so special? It's not just about the way the food tastes
(although there is no denying that Jewish dishes are some of the best in the
world). Part of what makes Jewish
cooking so special is how it is tied in to the rich history of the Jewish
people, and the time spent together with family and friends sharing the meals
that have become popular Jewish dishes worldwide.
The recipes that make up the world of Jewish cooking and our
cookbook are actually a collection of dishes from all of the places the Jewish
people have lived throughout history. For
example, blintzes are a very popular Jewish dish that has roots in the German
culture. Just looking at the different
Jewish foods can be a history lesson all by itself. Our mom learned all these recipes from her mom
and so on right down the line.
If you've grown up in a Jewish household you know how comforting
a warm bowl of chicken soup served in Bubbe's
kitchen can be. You understand how the perfect Jewish meal can make a family
gathering that much more memorable. It’s
the smell of the kitchen and the sounds of laughter. Unless you've experienced it you can't really
understand how Jewish cooking can turn friends into family and can bring a
family closer together.
Of course you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy Jewish
cooking. Friends and family from any
culture can benefit from what the world of Jewish cooking has to offer. After all, who doesn't enjoy a warm, hot meal
that tastes amazing? We can guarantee
you our mom’s recipes are truly the cream of the crop.
There are many recipes in our cookbook that you can use to
start your own family traditions. Even
if you have your own collection of Jewish recipes, check out the resources on
our website, www.OurMothersRecipesOnLine.com. We can provide you with some great new
additions to your Jewish cooking collection and may even give you some ideas
for new twists on the recipes you already have. Also, please sign up for the Recipe of the
Week club.
So to answer the question, why is Jewish cooking so
special? It’s because it comes from the
heart. Jewish meals are made with love
and served with the same. You don't have
to be Jewish to experience Jewish cooking.
You just need access the Jewish recipes in our cookbook and add
love. With those two things, everyone
can be a Jewish cook.
Description:
Add a wonderful cuisine to your everyday meals and special gatherings. Traditional Jewish cooking is flavorful, fun and hearty particularly with Our Mother's Recipes, Carrying on a Jewish Tradition. These recipes have been handed down through many generations influenced by Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Spanish, German and Eastern European styles of cooking. In our family all of these cultural influences were combined, synthesized and affected by local ingredients through the years resulting in sumptuous, rich and wonderfully fulfilling traditional Jewish dishes. Try our mother's farfel instead of noodles. Replace that tired chocolate cake with some really yummy Helen Feldman brownies or warm fruit compote. You will have the secret to Jewish penicillin, chicken soup with matzo balls. There's enough here to keep you going for years of great food, family, friends and memories to enjoy.
Bio:
Dorene Sager and Armin Feldman are sister and brother. The idea for the cookbook sprang from the
discovery of a treasure trove of their mother’s recipes after she passed away.
Now Our Mother’s Recipes, Carrying On a Jewish Tradition is a Web site, a
cookbook, a TV show and a place to learn about what the best Jewish cuisine has
to offer.
Dorene Sager: Dorene represents the best of so many
different things. Dorene is a cookbook author, a wife and mother, a commercial
real estate broker, a devoted family member, a true friend and so much more. Dorene is a fantastic cook in her own right.
She learned a lot about cooking from her mother, Helen Feldman. Dorene is married and has three children and
6 grandchildren. Dorene and her husband just
celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Dorene enjoys reading, movies,
playing canasta, and of course cooking.

Dorene says,
“I had
so much fun working with my brother putting together all of the different ways
to showcase our mother’s recipes.”
Armin
Feldman: Armin
wears a number of hats too. Armin is a cookbook author, husband, dog lover,
supporter of friends and family, medical doctor and a lot more. Armin is
also a wonderful cook. From the time
they could reach the kitchen counter, their mother taught Dorene and Armin how
to make traditional Jewish recipes. If you watch the videos on their website, http://www.ourmothersrecipesonline.com
, you can feel the joy these siblings radiate while cooking their mother's
recipes. You can also sign up for the

Armin says,
“What
a treat to work with the best sister ever in creating all of these venues to
showcase our mother’s remarkable culinary skills.”

I love cookbooks and food from many cultures. This would be really good because I see that the food has been influenced by so many other cultures as well.
