Title: The Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews: Traditional Recipes and Menus and a Memoir of a Vanished Way of Life
Product review: A wonderful introduction to the history of the Italian Jewish communities and their cuisine. I bought this book to learn more about the history and culture of the Italian Jewish Community. It so stimulated my appetite for more learning that I have now purchased a second book, "The Guide to Jewish Italy" by Annie Sacerdoti. If you have an appetite for more about the Jewish Community in Italy over the the last 600 years, this 2nd book provides serious food for thought. It also is a guidebook for visiting the remnants of what were flourishing Spanish and Portuguese Jewish communities started by those fleeing the Inquisition and oppression elsewhere in Europe.
