The Original Jewish Cookbook

This e-book is an authorized reprint of Bloch Publishing's best-selling cookbook, “The Jewish Cook Book,” by Mildred G. Bellin, which was in print from 1941 through 1983. Reissued in 1983 as “The Original Jewish Cookbook” it contains over 3,000 Kosher recipes, everything from appetizers to main courses to desserts. In addition to the recipes, the book also includes historical information such as the origins of Jewish cooking, various processes used to prepare kosher food, the dietary laws, the Jewish holidays, nutrition, and a section on Passover recipes. There are charts and simplified instructions to help the beginning cook, as well as recipes for every level of cooking experience. The book even offers instructions for simple cooking tasks such as how to scramble an egg, how to boil potatoes, or how to make coffee.
