Jewish food's "greatest hits" receive a makeover in the newest recipe
collection from the author of the Jewish Food Hero Cookbook and
Feeding Women of the Bible, Feeding Ourselves. Beyond Chopped Liver:
59 Jewish Recipes Get a Vegan Health Makeover shares new and better
ways to enjoy quintessentially Jewish food with delicious, plant-based
recipes- from challah to matzo ball soup!
The Jewish recipes in this cookbook are inspired by recipes from Jewish
pre-modern Diaspora communities: Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrahi, Beta
Israel/Ethiopian and Indian Jewish communities, and from modern Israel
and American Jewish food cultures.
The updates in this collection speak to the Jewish community today, as
we seek to honor inherited Jewish food traditions while living in ways
that are healthier for our bodies and our planet. Communal meals are
essential for family and community cohesion and health, and there should
be no conflict between Jewish life and ethical eating. Offering
healthier plant-based and vegan Jewish recipes is author Kenden Alfond's
way of problem-solving and providing resources for the community so that
everyone can share delicious, healthy meals.
