Celia Gurevitch Jewish Community Library

You have a simple way to support our nursery school tomorrow, Tuesday, and have a great dinner. Just have pizza (or pasta or whatever else is on the menu) for dinner from/at Mary’s Pizza Shack and give a copy of this PDF flyer with your order and 20% of the total of your order will benefit our nursery.

You knew it, right? I rarely can post without mentioning one of our books. You can go beyond pizza when thinking of cooking Italian and we can help you with that. Joyce Goldstein‘s “Cucina Ebraica: flavors of the Italian Jewish kitchen” is en excellent resource in expanding your taste and cooking skills. The introduction covers all areas you might be interested: Jews in Italy, information about the recipes, kashrut laws, and a note on holidays. Then we’re onto the meat of the book, so to speak although only one section is. The rest of the chapters are about antipasti (appetizers), minestre (soups), pasta e riso (pasta and rice), verdure (vegetables), pesce (fish), pollame (poultry), salse (sauces), and dolci (desserts). The book concludes with a bibliography, index and for your convenience a table of equivalents between US and metric system of measurement (liquid, dry, length, temperature). Almost two dozen full page, full color photographs make the volume more enticing and whetting your appetite.
