A Collection of
`Perfect Recipes'
gal
t is not uncommon for
members of a Jewish
women's organization to
get together and produce a
fundraiser cookbook. But how
often do you see several
organizations combine their
members' talents into one ap-
pealing book?
Before I came across The
Perfect Matzah Ball and Other
Secrets to Fine Cooking, I had
never seen such a combined
effort. However, the cooks of
three major Jewish women's
organizations in Frederick,
Maryland decided to
cooperate, rather than com-
pete, and the result is a fine
cookbook.
The women who contribut-
ed to The Perfect Matzah Ball
and Other Secrets to Fine
Cooking belong to Beth Sha-
lom Sisterhood, Frederick
Chapter of Hadassah, and
Frederick Council of Jewish
Women. According to cook-
book chairperson Leslie
Tayler, the book, which was
just published in June, "is a
Frederick first" and was
three years in the making.
The preface of The Perfect
Matzah Ball and Other Se-
crets to Fine Cooking explains
its title. It says: "Chicken
soup and matzah balls has
long been considered in Jew-
ish households a traditional
Sabbath and holiday dish. Be-
ing able to make THE perfect
matzah ' ball has been the
mark of the accomplished
Jewish cook. But what consti-
tutes 'perfect'? Some mavens
say the most heavenly are
light as air. Others take a
more down-to-earth view,
claiming a TRUE matzah ball
needs body, something to
`sink your teeth' into. The fol-
lowing recipes are all 'perfect?
Each is our very best, tested
by our toughest critics, our
families and friends. Try our
matzah balls and other secret
recipes and judge for
yourself."
My search in the cookbook
for its "perfect matzah ball"
recipe turned up one which
looked standard except for a
strange ingredient: "caramel
powdered chicken soup." My
guess is that it's a misprint
and should have read Carmel
(the brand name) instead of
caramel.
Anyway, many of the other
recipes in The Perfect Matzah
Ball and Other Secrets to Fine
Cooking are much more in-
teresting. and appealing than
the matzah balls. In perusing
the 136-page, spiral-bound
cookbook, I found a dozen I
might like to try. Some of
them include: Artichoke Ap-
petizer, Salmon Spread,
Marinated Mushrooms, Poor
Man's Caviar (an eggplant
dip), Stuffed Mushrooms Pro-
vencale, Vegetarian
Minestrone Soup, Ratatouille,
Grandma's Holiskes (and oth-
er variations of stuffed
cabbage), Lamb (or Chicken)
Curry, Pickled Beef Tongue,
Stuffed Veal Breast, Chicken
Paprikash, Curried Turkey
with Water Chestnuts, Veal
Forestier, Peking Tuna,
Pacific Salmon Pie, Cookie's
Easy Spinach Lasagna,
Baked Blintz Loaf, Bavarian
Apple Torte, Breton Choco-
late Pound Cake, Buckhorn
Inn Peanut Pie, Chalvah, Ice
Cream Walnut Torte, and
Easy Chocolate Chip Mondel
Bread.
Each chapter divider in the
cookbook is backed with a
handy chart, such as a spice
and herb guide, amounts for
large quantity servings, direc-
tions for quick-freezing vege-
tables, meat and poultry
roasting guide, 100-calorie
portions of some foods, equiv-
alents and substitutions for
ingredients, and a great table
that shows how many cups
pans of different dimensions
hold so that you can substi-
tute one for the other. There
are also several microwave
and general kitchen hints,
and a table of calorie counts.

tzah Ball and Other Secrets to
Fine Cooking may be ordered
