Booklet on Cults DALLAS (JTA) — A two-year local ecumenical study into religious cults has resulted in the publica- tion of a 24-page teachers' handbook designed for use with high school age stu- dents. Next to the Bible, books on food, recipes and tempta- tions for the gourmet are the best sellers in the book world. When a food expert draws upon family traditions the attraction is all the greater. Therefore, when mama's cooking, inspired by a le- gacy from the Bubbie, the Grandma, is on the market, it is all the more conducive to interest for the housewife and her family. "From My Mother's Kitchen," (Harper and Row), subt itled "Recipes and Reminiscences," is this kind of book. It is not a kosher cook book, but it draws upon the kosher kitchen as a remin- der of the most palatable. Therefore, it earns the at- tention accorded it. The author of From My Mother's Kitchen" is Mimi Sheraton, New York Times food and restaurant critic. Her father was a produce buyer, her mother an old- fashioned natural cook whose table was filled with -traditional East European delicacies. Exemplary of the recipes offered in this book are: Honey Cake 2 cups dark honey 3 /4 cup black coffee,brewed double strength 3 tbsps. mild vegetable oil, preferably peanut 4 eggs 3 /4 cup sugar 31/2 cups sifted flour Pinch of salt 1 tsp. baking soda 1 1/2 tsps. baking powder 1 tsp. powdered cinnamon 1 tsp. powdered ginger Grated rind of 1 orange Grated rind of 1 lemon 10 or 12 whole blanched al- monds (optional) Preheat the oven to 325 de- grees. Butter a 91/2x51/2x3-inch loaf pan. Cut clean brown paper, waxed paper, or baker's parchment to fit the bottom and sides of the pan and butter one side. Place the unbuttered side of the paper against the pan. Put the honey in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Set aside, let cool, then stir in the coffee and oil. Beat the eggs with the sugar until light and thick so the mixture forms a ribbon when dropped onto itself. Stir in the coffee, honey and oil mixture. Resift the flour and other dry ingredients into the batter; fold in gently with the fruit rind. Pour the batter into the lined pan. If you like, make a pattern on top with almonds. Bake for about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cook in the pan. Do not peel of all the paper; just peel off what is necessary each time you slice the cake. This cake will develop more flavor if it is kept uncut for 24 hours. It keeps well in an airtight container. Austro-Hungarian cook- ing as well as typically American dishes are in- cluded in this volume. The kashrut observer will have no difficulty selecting the Jewish dishes and applying many of the others to kashrut. That's what makes "From My Mother's Kitchen" a most highly commendable work for the Jewish housewife. ture Society.

Assembly Issues New Ketuba NEW YORK — The Rab- binical Assembly recently issued its latest version of the Jewish marriage con- tract, combining the legalities and mystique of age-old tradition with the changing demands and sen- sitivities of modern times. While contemporary American marital contracts which establish areas of fi- nancial and domestic re- sponsibilities are_relatively new, ketubot have been the instruments of Jewish mar- riages for thousands of years. The ketuba is a religious document, designed to pro- tect the woman from finan- cial distress in case of di- vorce or husband's death, and to allow her financial independence, if desired, while married. Although once among the most ad- vanced familial ar- rangements in the world, the ketuba became a frozen formula, more important for its presence than its con- tents. The Rabbinical As- sembly, Conservative Judaism's rabbinical arm, hopes-that this modernized ketuba will reinvest mean- ing in the traditional form.
