Book Reviews of A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking
Book Review: The very delectable best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Marcy Goldman never fails me. Her breads, her cakes, her photos, her hints, her encouragement, her cookies, her tartlets and her guiding spirit are all there. This time, in the 10th Anniversary Edition, she has added a new bonus chapter to her baking wonders, reflecting her " savory cooking."
The extensive 24 or so pages of Introduction, Ingredients and Equipment information will have you underlining her important practical advice. This book is a classic!
Each year, our family prepares her famous " My Trademark, Most Requested, Absolutely Magnificent Caramel Matzoh Crunch" which she and we call "sublime." A popular Seder dessert is the "Mock Chestnut Torte" which, needless to say, contains no chestnuts. I own close to 1000 cookbooks and she is absolutely one of my favorite cookbook writers!
Go ahead, try the challahs, the varied hamantaschens, the coffee cakes, the cholent and anything in the tome and you will only hear "oohs and ahs" from your admiring tasters.
What a find! What a gift! If you have a dog-eared copy of the Jewish Holiday Baking book on your active cooking bookshelf, run out and buy this 10th Anniversary Edition as it will only add to your year long holiday enjoyment.
Summary of A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking
The updated edition of a kitchen classic, now with 30 new recipes for favorite savory holiday dishesKeep age-old holiday traditions alive and start delicious new ones with A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking, nominated for a Julia Child Cookbook Award. Professional pastry chef and BetterBaking.com creator, Marcy Goldman has lovingly assembled a comprehensive collection of easy-to-follow, time-tested recipes from one of the world's great baking traditions, from sweet raisin challah for Rosh Hashanah to apricot-filled Hamantaschen for Purim and velvety Shabbat marble cake. Now bring the warmth of the holidays into your own home with hundreds of easy-to-follow, time-tested recipes, certain to bring back old memories and create new ones.In A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking, Goldman defines Jewish cooking as a combination of influences from religious laws, holiday and seasonal events, what is locally available, and cross-cultural adaptations created as Jewish families moved around. She also explains much about Jewish dietary law and other food customs.
Holidays, in particular, call for foods with symbolic as well as sensory resonance. This leads to baking a special, spiral-shaped challah--a reminder of life's continuity. This egg bread is reserved for the Sabbath and most holidays, while triangular Hamantaschen, a pastry resembling the three-cornered hat of the evil Haman, are unique to the lively holiday of Purim.
Novice cooks will appreciate Goldman's list of "Winning Recipes for the Bakery Challenged." Her discussions of yeast (five pages) and sensible equipment (seven pages) are an education for any baker, while everyone will enjoy her killer frozen cheesecake, which you can keep for unexpected guests; flourless and rich, rich Espresso Truffle Torte; and Smoked Salmon, Dill, and Cream Cheese Pizza. Whatever your persuasion, Marcy Goldman's A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking belongs on your bookshelf. --Dana Jacobi
