The New Mediterranean Jewish Table: Old World Recipes for the Modern Home

This recipe is full of excellent recipes. It is well written and expertly researched. The problem is the font type is medium gray, small and on light gray paper. It is taxing to look at. To the publisher, please reprint in in black type, slightly larger and white paper.

From the Wife: Sometimes a so-called "New" cookbook turns out to be the old one with a few new recipes or just a new edition. I have the years-old Mediterranean Cookbook by Joyce Goldstein, as well as a few others, and can attest that this cookbook is new and very interesting. The recipes are classic Middle Eastern, so if you already have many Sephardic and Middle eastern cookbooks (as I do), you may not NEED this one. But, I'm very glad to have this, even though I admit I don't really need it because it contains recipes I've not made before, and I love this sort of food and like to experiment. Now, a caveat: There are no pictures in this volume, and I know from reading reviews of other cookbooks, this is important to some people,

A wonderful book of recipes and history of cuisine and the Jews of the Mediterranean region. The dishes are wonderful, but even if they weren't, this cookbook is worthy of a serious read because it is so interesting and informative. I recommend it highly.

I have a number of Joyce Goldstein's cookbooks. I love the history and I have used many of the recipes. This cookbook is filled with lots of interesting recipes but I find it difficult to read and even skim through. I think it is the font and the washed out color they picked for the titles. I am guessing that this cookbook will not get as much use and her other one.

Excellent recipes from the hands of a true master.I relate to the Mediterranean foods as an Italian. Ienjoy the vegetable treatments,not too different frommy Sicilian heritage.Teresa De Luca

Beautifully written! The history and culture of Jewish people were so informative, adding a unique flavor to the book.

One of my favorite cookbooks of the year. Joyce Goldstein is a world-class talent with a palate that matches ~ one only need to read the first few pages to understand her brilliance.

This is a classic, I love cooking Italian and Middle East and this is a wonderful compliment.
