The Kugel Story and Other Tasty Dishes

A humorous, entertaining, and informative cookbook primarily devoted to luscious kugel, the hearty party food and Jewish cuisine’s answer to the casserole. Vegetarians love it. Gluten-free users and dieters are not forgotten.

The collection of traditional and new, easy-to-follow recipes for appetizers and small bites through dessert to complete full meals will tempt young and old alike.

The book includes everything you always wanted to know about kugel but did not know you wanted to know. All three or four (if diphthong is used) pronunciations, definitions, and translations of the word kugel are seen in “The Story” and “History of Kugel” chapters. The “Kugel Ingredient Shopping List,” from the basics to beyond, will amaze. However, one does not need to have all 100 or more ingredients on hand to be considered as a kugel maven.

Menus in the “Holidays and Menus” chapter help readers to make every occasion and celebration the best that it can be. A suggested side dish or dessert kugel appears with every menu and each entrée.

Read between the recipes and you will find humor, family stories, trivia, culinary hints and tips. Table of contents, index and glossaries are included. 260 pages. Illustrated.
