About The Gefilte Manifesto: New Recipes For Old World
Product Description The founders of the world-famous Gefilteria revitalize beloved old-world foods with ingenious new approaches in their debut cookbook, The Gefilte Manifesto.Liz Alpern and Jeffrey Yoskowitz are on a mission to reclaim and revolutionize Ashkenazi cuisine. Combining the inventive spirit of a new generation and respect for their culinary tradition, they present more than a hundred recipes pulled deep from the kitchens of Eastern Europe and the diaspora community of North America. Their recipes highlight the best of Ashkenazi home and storefront cuisine, tapping into the enduring Jewish values of resourcefulness and seasonality.Drawing inspiration from aromatic Jewish bakeries (Classic Challah with a Marble Rye Twist, Seeded Honey Rye Pull-Apart Rolls), neighborhood delis (Home-Cured Corned Beef and Pastrami, Rustic Matzo Balls, and Old World Stuffed Gefilte Fish), old-fashioned pickle shops (Crisp Garlic Dilly Beans, Ashkenazi Kimchi), and, of course, their own childhood kitchens, Yoskowitz and Alpern rediscover old-world food traditions, helping you bring simple and comforting recipes into your home.Dishes like Spiced Blueberry Soup, Kasha Varnishkes with Brussels Sprouts, and Sweet Lokshen Kugel with Plums celebrate flavors passed down from generation to generation in recipes reimagined for the contemporary kitchen. Other recipes take a playful approach to the Old World, like Fried Sour Pickles with Garlic Aioli and Sour Dill Martinis.The Gefilte Manifesto is more than a cookbook. It’s a call to action, a reclamation of time-honored techniques and ingredients, from the mind-blowingly easy Classic Sour Dill Pickles to the Crispy Honey-Glazed Chicken with Tsimmes. Make a stand. Cook the Manifesto. The results are radically delicious. Review "This might be the cookbook of the year." ―Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl, Off The Menu Podcast “The Gefilte Manifesto is a comprehensive guide to contemporary Jewish cooking complete with sharp writing, beautiful photography, and robust flavor. Jeffrey and Liz have figured out how to take Bubbe’s cooking and pass the baton to the modern-day cook.” ―Michael Solomonov, chef of Zahav and author of Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking“I can’t say enough good things about this bright, compelling offering that beautifully manages to frame traditional Ashkenazi cuisine with perfect twists and newness. It’s no small feat to retain the character of an old, emotionally held culinary culture while imparting fresh life to the standards. Jeffrey and Liz have nailed it not only with outstanding recipes but also with history and stories and context, impeccably written. The passion of yet another generation carries it forward; we Jewish mothers can be collectively entranced, inspired, and proud.” ―Mollie Katzen, author of The Heart of the Plate: Vegetarian Recipes for a New Generation“What a gorgeous book! The Gefilte Manifesto is simultaneously an homage to cultural traditions and a reclaiming of these traditions to make them relevant to our contemporary lives. With so many of us searching for ways to feel more connected to food, this book is a great resource. I look forward to sharing it with family and friends!” ―Sandor Ellix Katz, author of The Art of Fermentation and Wild Fermentation“The Gefilte Manifesto is a delightful book. I am so proud of this next generation that is further informing our palates with the fermentation and preserving techniques of our forefathers and -mothers.” ―Joan Nathan, author of King Solomon’s Table"This may change your mind about gefilte fish or open new culinary doors for you." ―Dixie D. Vereen, The Washington Post"Sometimes all it takes is one recipe to justify a new cookbook. The chicken soup in The Gefilte Manifesto uses chicken parts that you brown before making the soup, something I have never done. But it works, enhancing depth and color in the broth." ―Florence Fabricant, The New York Times"A glossy new cookbook with fresh takes on traditional Jewish r
