Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
The second book from the creators of the much-loved Monday Morning Cooking Club cookbook, The Feast Goes On features the best-loved, most delicious recipes and stories from the heart and soul of the Jewish community right across Australia. Written with the same generosity of spirit as the Monday Morning Cooking Club, this book contains recipes for feasting, food for comfort, traditional recipes, precious family recipes, everyday food and food for fressing - a Yiddish word for the food that you don't actually need, but love to eat and find it hard to stop eating ... delicious and more-ish dips, schmears, spreads, breads, cakes and buns, biscuits and slices. This book is all about the connections we make through food, and the importance of preserving favourite and treasured recipes - which otherwise are in danger of being lost or forgotten as an older generation die off - and the stories of a community. While all the recipes are drawn from the Jewish community right across Australia, the contributors come from many, many different cultures, which gives the book and the recipes a real richness, range and depth of flavours - this is a real heirloom cookbook of the best, most treasured, family recipes.
