Georgie Tarn
&. Tracey Fine

When 9-year-olds Tracey Fine and
Georgie Tarn first met while vacationing
with their families at the Grand Hotel in
Rimini, Italy (considered the "Catskills
of Europe"), the British girls hit it off
immediately. Their families went home,
but their paths crossed again when they
were 12 — and they have since lived
their lives — Tarn was an aerobics trainer
and Fine ran an Internet giftware com-
pany, with five children between them
— as best friends.
Now in their 40s, the pair have
dubbed themselves the "Jewish
Princesses" — a term they would like
to give a positive spin — and are busy
building an empire based on this brand.
Together, Fine and Tarn write a food
column in the Jewish Chronicle (the
U.K.'s oldest and largest-selling Jewish
newspaper); they are involved in Kiss for
a Child, which raises money for chil-
dren's projects in Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union; and they appear on
British television and radio.
They also have just published their
second cookbook, The Jewish Princess
Feasts & Festivals (Sterling; $19.95),
a follow-up to The Jewish Princess
Cookbook: Having Your Cake and Eating
It, which they promoted at the JCC's
2008 Jewish Book Fair.
"We both come from a long line of
balabustas and have inherited our love of
cooking and food from our families, who
in true Jewish tradition know that eating
is at the center of family life," write Fine

In their second cookbook, the authors
jokingly refer to Chanukah as "Princess
Present Week."
