sk any of your Jewish
friends what they're
making for Rosh
Hashanah dinner. The
answer is like to be along the
lines of "brisket, kugel and
tzimmes." And, indeed, these
are among the most familiar
American Jewish holiday
dishes. This kind of cooking
was introduced to Americans
in the late 1800s and early
1900s through the mass im-
migration of the Ashkenazim,
Jews of Central and Eastern
Europe.
But there's another side to
Jewish cooking. It's a cuisine
which is more colorful and
spicy, and centers around
fresh fruits, vegetables and

grains; and where oil is pre-
ferred to butter or chicken fat.
This is the cuisine of the
Sephardic Jews — and they've
been cooking this way for
hundreds of years.
Their ancestors fled Spain
during the Inquisition of the
15th century and most
resettled in North Africa and
Turkey. By necessity, they
created a new type of Jewish
cooking more fitted to the
climate and different environ-
ment. Surprisingly, it's right
on target with contemporary
dietary guidelines to healthy
eating.
Sephardic Jews represent a
very small part of the
American Jewish community.

5,000 Sephardic Jews in
Philadelphia. She was raised
in Cairo, Egypt, and educated
