商品簡介
Inspired by the author's grandmother, this cookbook is more than just a collection of recipes. It's an affectionate, humorous tale of a Jewish grandson and his Bubbie travelling across North America in search of beloved regional foods. True to her roots, Bubbie clings to her familiar Ashkenazi traditions and keeps Yiddish alive wherever she goes-yet she also discovers inventive ways to enjoy new cuisines while keeping a kosher kitchen.
Readers will encounter delightful surprises, such as French Canadian tourti鋨e prepared with veal instead of pork, or New England clam chowder reimagined with fresh fish, mushrooms, and dairy-free creamer-making it possible to serve with a meat meal. By adapting non-kosher dishes, Harriet Katz opens a new culinary world for kosher cooks, while offering traditional recipes made easy for both novices and experienced home chefs.
Each chapter begins with lively Yiddish words and expressions (with a handy glossary), as well as engaging notes on regional culture and the shared language of food. The result is part travelogue, part cultural memoir, and part kitchen companion-seasoned generously with humour and heart.
