Hadassah Jewish Holiday Cookbook

Should matzo balls be firm or fluffy? Plain or filled? Made with chicken fat, oil or marrow? These questions and others are addressed in this recipe collection from the celebrated cooks of Hadassah, the Jewish women's organization. These Jewish holiday recipes include varieties of nostalgic must-haves--from chicken soup to borscht, kreplach to kishka--and twists on the basics--challahs (seeds or honey), latkes (carrot or potato), and horosets (from Surinam to Africa). Reminiscences by top Jewish chefs and enticing photos by acclaimed food photographer accompany the recipes.
