Recipes can (and often are) timeless culinary messages

Recipes can (and often are) timeless culinary messages of family meal-time bonding as well as community-oriented celebatory traditions. From Generation To Generation is a perfect example of this. From Hot Artichoke Dip; Brandied Cranberries; and Honey Ritz Chicken; to Apricot Pound Cake; Ice Cream Strudel; and Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls, From Generation To Generation offers up recipes that would grace any table and satisfy any appetite!

A Must-Have Cookbook!

This is the rare cookbook that is as much fun to read as it is to cook from. The stories that accompany the recipes give each one special depth and flavor. And readers are certain to love the combination of traditional Jewish recipes with Southern cooking! I just received my copy, and I'm already hungry for more!

Excellent Cookbook

Southerners just know how to cook! Within each community in the South, there are signature dishes specific to individuals and cherished by family and friends. In the newly released cookbook, FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, the authors have gathered the signature recipes from members of Temple Emanu-El, in Birmingham, Alabama. Recipes range from "Grandma's Chicken Soup" to "Smoked Salmon and Dill Quesadillas" and all of the traditional Holiday and Passover dishes. The desserts are "to die for", including a cookie aptly named, "To Die For Cookies", "Molten Chocolate Cake", and "Grandma Bresler Brownies". Many of the recipes are named in honor of the Mother, Grandmother or Aunt, whose name was synonymous with the dish. These are the recipes of families, the recipes of sharing, the recipes of remembrance, and the recipes made with love. As a collector of "local cookbooks" from across the country, I found this hardback cookbook to be well researched and beautifully designed. I also found the recipes to be exceptional. Highly recommended!

the best cookbook ever!

This cookbook is easy to read and cook by. The best thing about it is that the recipes are tried and true. Everyone I've tried is truly delicious and more importantly - easy to follow.

Cooking and heritage

From Generation to Generation not only gives foolprooof and simple "Jewish" recipes, it also gives the reader/cook a sense of the life of Jewish families in the South. It is a remarkably beautiful book. The personal pictures and stories attached to the recipes bring them to life. I highly recommend this cookbook as one artfully designed and a highly useful addition to any cook's library.
