The New Complete International Jewish Cookbook

Long-established as a classic, Evelyn Rose’s comprehensive cookbook is bursting with delicious recipes for both family meals and special occasions. With more than 1,100 easy-to-follow recipes, the book is ideal for all home cooks. More than 30 chapters-from soups and starters to desserts and breads-offer the definitive guide to kosher cooking. Healthier versions of traditional Jewish dishes like Oven-Fried Chicken, plus superb vegetarian recipes like Pesto Lasagne, are found alongside classic recipes especially adapted for the Jewish kitchen. Rose’s authoritative guide to the major Jewish festivals includes the whys and hows of much-loved symbolic dishes, and her section on preparing for Passover combines traditional menus with dishes given an original twist.

Evelyn Rose (1925-2003) was a world authority on Jewish food.

Evelyn’s daughter, Judi Rose, is a former writer, producer, and food stylist for the BBC and coauthor with her mother of Mother & Daughter Jewish Cooking. She lives in New York.
