ELJZABETH APPLEBAUM ASSOCIATE EDITOR

oan Nathan
knows what's
cooking. The
University of
Michigan graduate
has just completed
a cookbook, Jewish
Cooking in Amer-
ica (Knopf), that's
filled with more
than 300 kosher
recipes from every
part of the country.
It includes tradi-
tional foods as well
as light nouvelle
interpretations in-
spired by contem-
porary chefs.
Three recipes
from Michigan are
included in the
book: Barb (Mrs.
Carl) Levin's Ba-
nana Strawberry
Jell-O mold, mush-
room and barley
soup from Zinger-
man's deli in Ann
Arbor, and a deep-
fried fish recipe
from Mynetta
Christie, a native of
Wales who now lives in Birm-
ingham.
In Jewish Cooking in
America, Ms. Nathan also
traces the history of kosher
cooking in America (illustra-
tions feature Yiddish ads
from the 1930s). She dis-
cusses how such delicacies as
vegetable shortening forever
changed Jewish cuisine and
how Southern families re-
placed the walnuts of East-
ern Europe with pecans.
There are recipes for tra-
ditional foods like herring
salad and gefilte fish, and
not-so-traditional treats like
mock lobster salad. Dishes
with a Syrian, Moroccan,
Greek, German and Polish
flair also are included.
Ms. Nathan is a native of
Rhode Island, who holds a
master's degree in French lit-
erature from U-M. She lived
for three years in Israel,
where she worked for May-
or Teddy Kollek of
Jerusalem. She is a former
writer for the Washington
Post who now contributes
regularly to the New York
Times, Gourmet and Food
Arts.

F

or the first time, the story
of women's experiences
during the Holocaust has
been compiled into a single
volume.
Different Voices (Para-
gon House) includes sur-
vivors' testimonies as well as
the reflections of writers, the-
ologians and philosophers.

The first section focuses on
the survivors and their terri-
ble memories of life in the
death camps and medical ex-
periments. A second section
offers perspectives by women

scholars on the
Holocaust (in-
cluding insights
on why the Nazis
held special
loathing for fe-
males as the
"propagators of
the Jewish race").
The final section
has writings on
the Holocaust by
women artists.
Different Voic-
es was written by
John K. Roth and
Carol Rittner. Dr.
Rittner, formerly
of Mercy College
in Detroit, was
founding director
of the Elie Wiesel
Foundation for
Humanity and
now serves as ex-
ecutive director of
Mercyworks In-
ternational. John
Roth is a philoso-
phy professor at
Claremont
McKenna Col-
lege.
Another book considering
the role of women — this
time in 19th century radical
history
is A Price Below
Rubies (Harvard University
Press) by Naomi Shepherd.
A Price Below Rubies
traces the lives of such fig-
ures as Rosa Luxemburg
(whom Lenin was said to
have greatly admired) and
Emma Goldman.
The book begins by consid-
ering the Jewish families in
Czarist Russia that produced
the Marxist teachers and the-
orists. Ms. Shepherd also tells
of the working-class women
who filled the ranks of the
Bund (the Jewish socialist
movement) and of the female
Zionists who contributed to
the building of Israel.
Ms. Shepherd is the author
of A Refuge from Darkness
and The Zealous Intruders:
The Western Rediscovery of
Palestine.

ust out for Pesach is The
Art of Passover (Hugh
Lauter Levin Associates),
which is filled with dozens of
artifacts, starting with trea-
sures from the 14th century,
