Most Helpful Customer Reviews   5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Trust me, from baking Marcy knows from!, 28 Oct 1998 By A Customer Some Jewish cookbooks are haimish, some are personal, some give historical/religious/cultural background, some are long on good recipes for the experienced cook but short on practical advice for the neophyte: If your shelf is packed with all of the above, and you know your onions (or your onion bagels), you need Marcy's book. And if you are only going to buy one book on Jewish baking, this is the one to buy. I have been a flour-flinging semi-pro baker and sometimes food writer for more than twenty years, and from experience, I know that Marcy Goldman's recipes are the best. Before this book came out, I already had tried--with one-hundred-percent success--many of her recipes that were published in The Washington Post as well as in The Baking Sheet, a must-read-newsletter-for-bakers-of-all-persuasions-and-ethnic-backgrounds that is published by King Arthur Flour of Norwich, Vt. (disclaimer: I've also written for The Baking Sheet, but have never met Marcy and she is not bribing me to pen a rave of her book). With her warmth, technical expertise, and clear directions, she has something to offer bakers of all levels of experience. I especially appreciated her section on challah, a weekly Sabbath staple of my household (and of many of my friends, who just seem to know when to drop by). Many recipes by other authors concentrate on fancy braiding and presentation, which challah neophytes have confessed to me that they find intimidating, if not off-putting. Marcy focuses on the makings and bakings of wonderful challah; the bells and whistles can come later. I'd rather sink my teeth into an endearingly lumpily hand-fashioned, great-textured, great-tasting loaf than a gummy eye-pleaser. Marcy will not let you down. I could go on and on, but my copy is already gritty with flour. What better recommendation can I give--I own hundreds of cookbooks--than that?  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

A Must for Your Cookbook Shelf!, 1 Jul 1999 By A Customer If you're looking for the consummate book of Jewish baking this is it. I've only begun to explore the wonders it holds within. The number of apple recipes alone will keep me delightfully occupied. Once you leaf through it, you'll be scouring your kitchen for the needed ingredients to get started on one of the wonderful challahs or cakes or cookies. Opening this book is like opening the door to the Jewish bakeries of yore. What makes it even more appealing is the haimish (homey) way Marcy addresses each recipe. Her hints are a valuable asset. Get this one! You won't be sorry! Excellent for the seasoned baker or the more hesitant novice.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
