PrintCook the Book: 'Arthur Schwartz's Jewish Home Cooking'
If there are two cuisines Arthur "The Food Maven" Schwartz knows best, they're Jewish and Italian. He's already done an Italian book, so he tackles the likes of latkes, kreplach, knishes, and kugel in Arthur Schwartz's Jewish Home Cooking. If you're not lucky enough to have grown up with a bubbe fussing over you and cooking you some of the most amazing comfort food ever, then this book can help you approximate the experience yourself.

Latkes, rugelach, challah, bagels... did I really have to pick just one?
Vegetarianka at 4:15PM on 03/17/08
Potato kugel, brisket, mushroom barley soup, and above all, bialys...I converted to Judaism and the food makes me even happier that I did!

challah bread

I would say noodle kugle (and how the hell do you spell that?), but the latkes on the book cover look so darn good. Oh, and charoset. Mmmm. A Hilel sandwich (matzah, charoset, and horseradish)... almost time!
surplusj at 4:34PM on 03/17/08
Yesterday my fiance and I went for a late lunch at a Kosher deli in a neighboring town. He had pickled herring in cream sauce for his appetizer and it was delicious. I'll have it next time we go there.
ride&cook at 4:35PM on 03/17/08
barbequed brisket from Joan Nathan's "Jewish Cooking in America"
I make it for every holiday dinner.
oh, don't forget the chopped liver..........potato kugel, noodle pudding, challah,matzo ball soup
lox eggs & onions..........i could go on and on.
hanak at 4:38PM on 03/17/08
Noodle kugel and jam at Rosh Hashanah, matzah ball soup at Passover
LiveToEat at 4:44PM on 03/17/08
I'm a fan of matzah ball soup. Honestly though, this is dish that can go really wrong really fast. I had one once that has the consistency of a baseball. The rest of the seder was actually really well done though.
I also really like latkes. I can't wait to make them for my daughter, she is going to love them.
feep at 4:54PM on 03/17/08
gribenes?
also matzah ball soup with noodles
aa1158 at 4:59PM on 03/17/08

Latkes, yum!
bobcatsteph3 at 5:03PM on 03/17/08
I could never pick just one-latkes, sable, lox and bagels, matzah ball soup( I make it year round), rugelach...
Lyds1 at 5:04PM on 03/17/08

fiatluxsemper at 5:04PM on 03/17/08

chopped liver!

matzo ball soup and latkes
missmicker at 5:16PM on 03/17/08
I'm going to say latkes . . . but that's because I haven't actually eaten any other Jewish foods!
Obviously, I need this book!
KarynMC at 5:19PM on 03/17/08
This is embarrassing, but I think that gefilte fish are delicious.

Matzoh ball soup is certainly way up there... somewhere with charoset and mondelbrot.
PhredYammers at 6:01PM on 03/17/08
"Simply" tell you?
It isn't simple! I love latkes and tsimmes and gefilte fish and matzo ball soup and kugel (both potato and noodle) and blintzes and chopped liver and ruglelah and hamentaschen and brisket and mushroom barley soup and farfel and kasha varnishka and pastrami and what else have you got?
Jennalynn at 6:02PM on 03/17/08
Latkes . . . yum!
snazzyknits at 6:03PM on 03/17/08
Blintzes, Latkes and Rugelach tie the list and so many more make it a close second.
izzy's mama at 6:04PM on 03/17/08
I love pretty much all Ashkenazi food, with the exception of kasha with varnishkes, but I have to say that the thing I crave most is Israeli shakshuka. ... Come to think of it, shakshuka's kosher l'pesach! Awesome.
tacroy80 at 6:05PM on 03/17/08
rugelach
dafly133 at 6:07PM on 03/17/08
comfort food: matzo ball soup and shakshuka. do pickles count?
tori_t at 6:08PM on 03/17/08
Latkes.
karen r at 6:09PM on 03/17/08
I love kasha varnishkes, oh sweet buckwheat. Heh. But does my mom's brisket count as Jewish food? Because that would be my favorite.
wellred at 6:10PM on 03/17/08
toasted everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, lox, tomato and thin slices of onions

Not having had much Jewish cuisine myself, I'll have to go with challah.
pcrackenhead at 6:57PM on 03/17/08
I adore kreplach. I make large batches to freeze. They're great to have on hand for fast, comfort food to relax with after a long day of studying.

jmahurin40 at 8:41PM on 03/17/08
I'd have to say all of the above (except kasha - it escapes me, but I'm still hoping).
islandexile at 8:41PM on 03/17/08
Challah (not holla). That was supposed to be funny.
ky2here at 8:48PM on 03/17/08

Kugel, rugelach, NY deli-style corned beef sandwiches...
edeliz at 9:15PM on 03/17/08
kugels- luckshen, potato... so many ways to make them both!

Challah Bread and Chopped Liver. Not together!
BostonDiner at 9:26PM on 03/17/08
Potato knishes - just like my grandmother used to make.
tdark27 at 9:27PM on 03/17/08
Matzo ball soup - it's our chicken noodle soup.
pookywookyster at 9:33PM on 03/17/08
Honestly, I can't pick just one favorite -- matzoh ball soup, bagels, latkes, cured fish, I love it all.
poulet at 9:36PM on 03/17/08
Blintzes. Or matzah brei. Or Passover sweet potato souffle. Or brisket. Or matzah balls. Um, I can't decide.
selizara at 9:37PM on 03/17/08
Challah
wildyeast at 9:40PM on 03/17/08

Have to go with Matzah Ball Soup with extra dill!
buggliest at 9:50PM on 03/17/08
Latkes, definitely.

I don't think I have had the pleasure of trying any of these foods yet but would definately love to win this so I can make and try each one of these dishes
pcbdolphins at 10:42PM on 03/17/08
bagels and lox or borscht.......
starsmom at 10:43PM on 03/17/08
A knish for sure
mkboldin at 10:44PM on 03/17/08
Kugel! Sweet noodle kugel, especially. I am not Jewish, but my brother converted for his marriage to my sister-in-law. I got to cook the wedding luncheon, in the kosher synagogue kitchen, under the close supervision of the cantor. Made three kinds of kugel. (I had worked for a kosher caterer for a few years - it's not like they let just anyone wander in and take a shot at kosher food). It remains a favorite cooking memory of mine.
Latkes are a pretty close second, though! I can never decide between apple sauce and sour cream on top, so I go back and forth with each bite.
matriarchy at 10:53PM on 03/17/08
Tzimmis - really, meaty tzimmis, with carrots, sweet potatoes, prunes, etc. Nothing like it, especially for Passover.
Phil W. at 10:54PM on 03/17/08
Oh but for some stuffed derma - Mmmm.
Oenonome at 11:39PM on 03/17/08

Corned beef, hot pastrami, chicken liver pate', latke.
We used to have bagels (and bacon) after church on Sunday - and we got them at our neighborhood Jewish deli.
PerkyMac at 11:58PM on 03/17/08
tsimmes or latkes, yum!

Latkes, bagels, borscht, challah.
Yum!
lunge at 1:21AM on 03/18/08
No deli sandwich (Romanian pastrami on rye with deli mustard and a side of cole slaw) is complete without the grandfather of pickles, a Guss', a juicy sour, a tangy 3/4 sour, a crunchy half sour... or if you're really feeling brave, a pickled sour green tomato.
And if you can't find yourself a Guss', fahgedaboudit. Head over to the nearest appetizing store and get yourself a Brooklyn bagel with a schmear, pink, salty lox and a chub - a smoked whitefish.
Kmelion at 1:40AM on 03/18/08
Its a hard choice, but my moms blintzes just barely beat out her noodle kugel and brisket.
pineapplespatula at 2:00AM on 03/18/08
kugels, matzoh ball soup, matzoh brie, brisket, blintzes, smoked fish, bialies, gribenes, chopped liver, kasha varnishkes, tsimmes, rugelach, pletzlach, hot pastrami, corn rye....
AND: all the wonderful Sephardic/Mediterranean Jewish food!
gorzd at 2:12AM on 03/18/08
Blintzes, challah, matzoh ball soup... all of it. Especially if my mother's at the stove.

agordon10 at 5:48AM on 03/18/08
I've never met a stuffed cabbage roll that I didn't fall head over heals for. Of course, snacking on potato pancakes while the cabbage properly stews makes the wait well worth it. Don't spare the garlic.
czken at 6:16AM on 03/18/08
Matzo ball soup is my absolute favorite Jewish food.

Latkes, with both applesauce and sour cream.
sidebernie at 8:41AM on 03/18/08
Mmmm Latkes. Some with sour cream, some with applesauce.
Sarajahii at 8:51AM on 03/18/08
Latkes - not to greasy please (meaning fried uncrowded and in properly heated oil in a heavy pan - cast iron is great here) served from pan to plate.
Blintzes are a close second, just edging out fresh-baked challah.
Really it's all of that along anything from Russ and Daughters here in NYC.
slloyddouglass at 8:57AM on 03/18/08
i have a serious thing for poppy seed hamantaschen (though my best friend's mum once made them with ollaliberries and they were pretty good like that too). also, israeli schnitzel with french fries, hummus, and salad is soooo good/immensely satisfying and can be found, weirdly enough, the world over. i've encountered it in as far-flung locales as the foothills of the himalayas (where it hits the spot after days of hiking) and the LES.
somehow i always wind up "eating out" my favourite jewish foods, I suppose I'll have to hunt up a copy of the book regardless and spend some time in the kitchen fulfilling my jonesings authentically!
poonams at 9:07AM on 03/18/08

mbcorwin at 9:09AM on 03/18/08
Gotta go with the kugel... or the latkes... or the matzoh ball soup. All so good!

Challah bread. It makes the best french toast.
timberlea at 10:05AM on 03/18/08
matzoh balls are my favorite. I can't get enough of them.
gervitsd at 10:06AM on 03/18/08
Challah. It is like regular bread but 100% more awesome! Dipped in chicken soup, battered for French toast, sliced into sandwiches. :)

Definitely latkes. Close second for whitefish salad on onion bialy and matzo meal pancakes, followed by homemade gefilte fish. This year I will be making David Lebovitz's Chocolate-Nut Matzo Crunch and I expect that it will take its place in the pantheon.

I'd be hard pressed to think of a Jewish food I didn't like (ptchah excluded). They're all so good. latkes, kasha varnishkes, brisket, chrain, kugel, challah, lox, gefilte fish, tsimmes.... oy!

2 years ago, I started making tsimmes using sweet potatoes, carrots, dried apricots, dried cranberries and any other great dried fruit I had. Then with butter, sugar, orange juice and fresh grated ginger, it came out great. I also love noodle pudding(kugel).

Bagels. I don't know that I've ever had any other Jewish food in my life. But I could be wrong. It's happened before.

I actually really like plain matzo crackers- weird, eh? I'll have to look up this book and expand!

hands-down, the dill pickles produced from my great-grandmother's recipe. Sublime.

Usually I'd say challah (with crunchy peanut butter, please) but I have a cold so tonight I'm going with matzoh ball soup.

While it's impossible to choose just one, I love a slow cooked fresh brisket loaded with onions on top of kasha varnishkas and a sour tomato or full sour pickle on the side.
Heaven !!!
Talk about comfort food !

I do not know how to cook Jewish food that is why I want to win the Jewish Home Cooking cook. I just love the Jewish people and want to learn how to cook Jewish. The food looks sooooo good and yummy.
