A delicious exploration of the Jewish holidays, with illuminating conversations and meals shared by friends: a rabbi and a cook. Following the lunisolar calendar, James Beard Award-winning author Susan Simon and Zoe B Zak devote a chapter to each of the fourteen holidays. From Selichot to Rosh Hashanah, Purim to Pesach, every holiday has history, interpretation, and foods, with kosher recipes that reimagine traditional dishes with flair. More than a cookbook, The Cook and the Rabbi is a testament to the resilient versatility of the Jewish people and their traditions. 232 pages hc
