Jewish Cookery Book: On Principles of Economy (American Antiquarian Cookbook Collection)

This marvelous culinary historical volume provides housekeeping and household-management advice as well as daily menu suggestions. Originally published in 1871, it was written to help new immigrants adapt to life in the New World while maintaining their religious heritage; and it even includes a Jewish calendar as well as recipes for home doctoring.
Â
Levyâ€™s cookbook follows Jewish law regarding cooking for the Sabbath, Passover, and other Jewish holidays; and it provides great detail about how to organize the household, and what steps to follow in conducting Jewish activities. The medicinal recipe section provides recipes for various ailments as well as cautions for visiting the sick.
Â
The book offers practical, down-to-earth advice for American-born Jews who did not have the benefit of a traditional Jewish education.Â
