I love Joan Nathan's cookbooks - I own Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous and always find the perfect holiday dishes in it. I also love the stories she shares. I would love a copy of King Solomon's Table - as a cook, food writer, but especially as a Jew discovering Jewish recipes from other countries and other cultures fascinates me.

sgumpMay 1, 2017

I love matzo brei. I wonder how different this recipe would be from my standard version (though I have other Joan Nathan books and have likely tried at least a variation on a version appearing in an earlier cookbook)?

matagMay 4, 2017

Sweet and crunchy kugel
