5.0 out of 5 stars the most comprehensive book on food I have read, 27 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This is one of the greatest food books ever. It's not just a cookbook, but an ethnographical acount of Jewish life around the world - all tied togther by food - the single currency that makes sense of our lives. I read the book from cover to cover and then i cooked from cover to cover. The most beautiful book, I am truly inspired. There cannot be many books (on food or otherwise) that can compare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 24 May 2008
A fascinating book, written with genuine enthusiasm. The background to the various types of food is extremely interesting, and the personalisation with stories from Claudia Roden's own life and family brings everything to life.

As for the recipes, everything I've attempted has turned out beautifully despite there being no photographs of the food in the edition that I own -my only criticism. There are photographs of people, though.

There's a tremendous range of dishes and I've found dishes to suit all kinds of people; vegetarians, keen meat-eaters, lactose-intolerant, plain food fans, lovers of spicy exotic food.

I love this book so much that I've bought additional copies as gifts for friends, as well as recommending it to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Book of Jewish Food, 11 Jan 2008
By Fifi (Durham United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book is one of the few cookery books I force on my friends as a gift for any reason. It is so wonderful I cannot imagine living without it. Having something for everybody, (vegetarians, those who like exotic food, those who like plain nursery food) everything recipe works. I have never cooked a dud from this book and even use it frequently for bed time reading. The background section is so interesting and varied, the photos fantastic, that I will continue to buy it for friends and family for as long as it is available.
