Got kugel with toffee walnuts? Now you do. Here's the real homemade gefilte gish - and also salmon en papillote, Grandma Sera Fritkin's Russian brisket and hazelnut-crusted rack of lamb. Here's Aunt Irene's traditional matzoh balls and Judy's contemporary version with shiitake mushrooms. Cooking Jewish gathers recipes from five generations of a food-obsessed family into a celebratory saga of cousins and kasha, Passover feasts - the holiday has its own chapter - and crossover dishes. And for all cooks who love to get together for coffee and a little something, there are recipes for numerous desserts: pies, cakes, cookies, bars and a multitude of cheesecakes; rugelach and hamantaschen, mandelbrot and sufganyot (Hanukkah jelly doughnuts). Not to mention Tanta Esther Gittel's husband's second wife Lena's nut cake.

Blending the recipes with over 160 stories from the Rabinowitz family, by the end of the book you'll have gotten to know the whole wacky clan. The book is illustrated throughout with more than 500 photographs, some going back to the 19th century. Written and recipe-tested by Judy Bart Kancigor, a food journalist with The Orange County Register , who self-published her first family cookbook as a gift and then went on to sell 11,000 copies, here are 532 recipes from her extended family of outstanding cooks, including the best chicken soup ever - really! - from her mother, Lillian. (Or, as the author says, "When you write your cookbook, you can say your mother's is the best.")
