a must have for any yiddeshe mama (or papa), 6 May 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mensch Chef (Paperback)
I cannot be more enthusiastic about this book. If you want all the yiddish basics, thoughtfully brought together in one book... this is it! For me it is a dream come true... it is the research I would have loved to do, had I the time (well, he saved me the trouble!)In a time when all the classics are being jazzed up for a contemporary palette... to have these classics simple and unadulterated (possibilities of family variations aside) on record (right down to the shmaltz!) is a gift for all of us!
You won't be dissapointed! mmmmmmmmmm!

Pleasure to read, pleasure to cook with, 19 Mar 2011
By Shellie - Published on Amazon.com
I cook and bake a lot, read cookbooks for pleasure, browse online recipes for fun... so I think a great deal about cooking, recipes, and what makes a cookbook great. This one is great: so much fun to read, educational and inspirational, makes you want to get into the kitchen! Davis's writing style is funny, filled with cute anecdotes about Jewish culture and his own family traditions. The introductions to the recipes, the little "advice" sidebars, and the glossary make the cookbook great bedtime reading. But it's also great as a cookbook--the recipes are easy to follow and produce delicious results. I've tried multiple kugel recipes (sweet and savory) and loved them all. His hamentaschen dough produced the best hamentaschen I've ever made! (The dough was a bit hard to work with--very soft and somewhat sticky--but I was gentle and patient with it, and the results were just perfect.) I've made a few great cakes from this book as well. It's also a good reference for Jewish cooking staples such as matzo ball soup, latkes, brisket, etc. All around, a fun and useful addition to the collection.
A side note for anyone looking for a kosher cookbook: this is by no means what you are looking for. Davis mentions substitutions that would make a recipe pareve instead of dairy, for instance, but he is quite glib about proclaiming that the taste of the recipe often suffers. An experienced kosher cook could certainly use their experience and common sense to make these recipes kosher, of course, but it is by no means an introductory kosher cookbook.
