Award-winning cookbook, with the history behind the recipes. Early paperback printing. "Claudia Roden is no more a simple cookbook writer than Marcel Proust was a biscuit baker.

The Book of Jewish Food is her masterpiece (though the recipes are glorious), the richest and most sensuous encyclopedia of Jewish life ever set in print" (Simon Schama, review, back cover).
