FROM SHTETL TO GOLDEN LAND
Edited by Rosalie Sogolow
Illustrated by Bonnie Stone
"This collection of recipes, anecdotes and memoirsis a treat. The abundant text-stories and reminiscences-is warm and engaging." --Publishers Weekly
"Much more than a cookbook, this is an oral history with recipes that started out as a writing project for students of the senior English as a Second Language programand took on a life of its own. Recommended for both history and cookery collections." --Library Journal
"Stories of growing up with Dmitriy Shostakovich, planning a wedding, visiting grandma, preparing for Passover all reflect the rich history, spirit and soul of the Russian people.A tasty mix of ethnic recipes with family accounts and anecdotes." --Moment
"A window into the lives of Russian Jewish families throughout the century. These memories, like the recipes, are too precious to be lost." --Rabbi Harold S. Kushner
