There could be no more festive way to introduce children to their Jewish heritage than through the food associated with the holidays. Here are seventy child-centered recipes and cooking activities from around the world that will draw the entire family into the spirit and fun of preparing Jewish holiday celebrations. Covering the ten major holidays, each of the activities has a different focus - such as Eastern Europe biblical Israel, contemporary America - and together they present a vast array of foods, flavors, and ideas. The recipes are old and new, traditional and novel - everything from hamantashen to pretzel bagels, chicken soup with matzah balls to matzah pizza, cheese blintzes to vegetarian chopped liver, hallah to halvah, fruit kugel to Persian pomegranate punch. Enhanced with more than forty color illustrations by Brooke Scudder, The Children’s Jewish Holiday Kitchen is itself a recipe for family fun.
