Many Jewish foods are beloved in American culture. Everyone eats
bagels, and the delicatessen is ubiquitous from Midtown Manhattan
to Los Angeles. Jewish American Food Culture offers readers an
in-depth look at the well-known and unfamiliar Jewish dishes and
the practices and culture of a diverse group. This is the source to
find out what "parve" on packaging means, the symbolism of
particular foods that are essential to holiday celebrations, what
keeping kosher entails, how meals and food rituals are approached
differently depending on how religious one is and the land of one's
ancestors, and much more. An historical overview puts contemporary
American Jews and their cuisine into context. Next, the main foods
and ingredients of Jewish cuisine are explained. An interesting
chapter on cooking practices follows. Chapters on holiday
celebrations, eating out, and diet and health complete the
overview. A chronology, glossary, resource guide, and selected
bibliography make this an essential one-stop resource for every
library.
Many Jewish foods are beloved in American culture. Everyone eats
bagels, and the delicatessen is a ubiquitous institution from
Manhattan to Los Angeles. "Jewish American Food Culture" offers
readers an in-depth look at both well-known and unfamiliar Jewish
dishes and the practices and culture of a diverse group of
Americans. This is the source to consult about what "parve" on
packaging means, the symbolism of particular foods essential to
holiday celebrations, what keeping kosher entails, how meals and
food rituals are approached differently depending on ways of
practicing Judaism and the land of one's ancestors, and much more.
Jonathan Deutsch and Rachel D. Saks first provide a historical
overview of the culture and symbolism of Jewish cuisine before
explaining the main foods and ingredients of Jewish American food.
Chapters on cooking practices, holiday celebrations, eating out,
and diet and health complete the overview. Twenty-three recipes, a
chronology, a glossary, a resource guide, and a selected
bibliography make this an essential one-stop resource for every
library.
