With their grandmothers' recipes as inspiration, the married couple updated traditional dishes and elevated them by using fresh ingredi- ents and from-scratch cooking tech- niques. Their cookbook is a guide, with more than 100 recipes, to the art of new Jewish cooking — from smoked and cured meat and fish; to pickles, garnishes, fillings and condiments; to sweets and breads and all the classics (chicken soup, gefilte fish, corned beef sandwiches, knishes and, of course, three versions of lakes: "Potato Latkes," "Butternut Squash Latkes" and "Celery Root-Parsnip Latkes"). Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi: Jerusalem: A Cookbook (Ten Speed JERUSALEM Press) Ottollenghi, a London-based owner of an eponymous group of restaurants and a cookbook author, and Tamimi, a partner in Ottollenghi and its head chef, were born in Jerusalem in the same year, Ottollenghi in the Jewish west and Tamimi on the Arab east side. Nearly 30 years later, they met in London, dis- covering a shared language, history and love of food. Their cookbook — encom- passing history, politics, geography and more —offers 120 recipes ("Lemony Leek Meatballs:' "Chopped Liver") from their unique cross-cultural perspective, with culinary influences coming from Jerusalem's Jewish, Arab, Christian and various sub-communities. YOTtltrOLINtli SAMI Susie Fishbein: Kosher By Design — Cooking Coach: Recipes, Tips and Techniques to Make Anyone a Better Cook (Artscroll) Fishbein's eighth title in the popular Kosher By Design series features some- thing new: 10 coaching sections con- taining "Game Plans" for refining one's culinary skills in the kitchen — covering everything from meat and poultry to the right equipment and techniques. Each major section of the book is preceded by a practicum on techniques that cover a wide range of kitchen knowledge: how to make can't-miss side dishes, how to skin and pin-bone fish, how to prep fresh herbs and how to "reincarnate" your leftovers, among them. Fishbein also includes her personal food and budget-stretching tips and 120 new recipes, including "Honey Pomegranate Chicken:' "Butternut Squash Broken Lasagna: "Baked Coconut-Brown Rice Pilaf" and "Chocolate-Peanut Butter Molten Cakes:' American Heart Association, Julie Shapero, R.D., L.D., et. al., Healthy Slow Cooker Cookbook: 200 Low-Fuss, Good-for-You Recipes (Clarkson Potter; paperback) Slow cookers are a popular gadget for yielding delicious comfort foods, but slow-cooking doesn't have to mean adding sodium and fat to your diet. Cooking healthier is a breeze with this cookbook's 200 recipes geared to making delicious, heart-healthy meals any night of the week or for special occasions like Shabbat or holidays ("Double Mushroom and Barley Soup," "Brisket with Exotic- Mushroom and Onion Gravy:' "Dried Fruit Compote with Pomegranate Juice"). Nutritional information and tips and healthy substitutions are offered as well. Other heart-healthy recipes include "Turkey and Sweet Potato Stew:' "Sweet and Tangy Red Cabbage" and "Apricot- Cinnamon Granola:' Esther Levy: Jewish Cookery Book: On Principles of Economy, Adapted for Jewish Housekeepers, with the Addition of Many Useful Medicinal Recipes, and Other Valuable Information, Relative to Housekeeping and Domestic Management (Andrews McMeel) A fascinating reprint by the American Antiquarian Cookbook Collection of the first kosher cookbook in America, this volume was originally published in Philadelphia in 1871, and as Joan Nathan writes in her introduction, it "gives us insights into Judaism and the way people lived:' Levy, about whom not much is known, includes recipes from English, German, Sephardic and American Jews, including recipes for fish balls (the pre- cursor of gefilte fish) and a dish called "Coogle, or Pudding of Peas and Beans:' The Sabbath meal was prepared on Fridays, but because of the workweek of most Jewish shopkeepers at the time, she suggests serving the main dinner meal on Sundays: When "husbands are at home, then something good must be prepared in honor of our lords of the household" — that, and "Calf's Feet Broth" as a food for the sick! ❑
