- Used Book in Good Condition
For Jewish deli devotees and DIY food fanatics alike, The Artisan Jewish Deli at Home is a must-have collection of over 100 recipes for creating timeless deli classics, modern twists on old ideas and innovations to shock your Old Country elders. Photographs, historical tidbits, reminiscences, and reference material round out the book, adding lively cultural context.

Finally, fifty years after I started eating pastrami sandwiches and knishes at Wilshireâ€™s Deli in Cedarhurst, Long Island, Nick Zukin and Michael C. Zusman have written a cookbook that allows delicatessen enthusiasts to make their favorite deli dishes at home. Making your own knishes? No problem. Rustle up your own pickles? Bring it on. Michael and Nick manage to make deli food simultaneously contemporary and timeless, which is no easy feat. If reading The Artisan Jewish Deli at Home doesnâ€™t make you hungry, youâ€™ve never rhapsodized over a pastrami sandwich or driven a hundred miles forÂ a transcendent plate of latkes. If my grandmother, the greatest Jewish deliâ€“style cook Iâ€™ve ever known, were alive sheâ€™d be kvelling over this book.â€
â€”Ed Levine, founder of Seriouseats.com

â€œMichael and Nickâ€™s handsome book brings some of your favorite deli recipes and memories intoÂ your home kitchen. Their pickles, knishes, and pastrami are just like you remember, only better!â€
â€”Joan Nathan, author of Jewish Cooking in America

â€œBefore you open this book, be sure to crack a window, because your house will soon reek of the glorious funk of delicatessen. The mouthwatering scent of baking bagels, bubbling soups, and steaming pickled meats will conquer every square inch of available air, bathing it all in a rich, delicious patina of schmaltz. Donâ€™t be surprised if a sarcastic waiter named Abe appears in your kitchen. The Artisan Jewish Deli at Home will turn any house into a delicatessen worth its weight in knishes.â€
â€”David Sax, author of Save the Deli

If you donâ€™t happen to live near one of the new wave of artisan-style Jewish delis that have sprung up around North America over the last few years, not to worry.Â With this book, the world of Jewish deli, in all its unsubtle splendorâ€”can be yours in the comfort (and privacy) of your own kitchen.Â And itâ€™s not that hard.Â Really.Â On top of all the Jewish deli classics, The Artisan Jewish Deli at Home offers updates and new angles on the oldways that are bound to thrill the palates of a modern generation of eaters focused on quality ingredients and a lighter-handed approach to a traditionally heavy cuisine.
