The Feast Goes On

Description

'It's always about the food.' A generous, warm-hearted book, THE FEAST GOES ON contains the best-loved and most delicious recipes and stories from the heart and soul of the Jewish community right across Australia. Created by the same six women -- the 'sisterhood' of the bestselling MONDAY MORNING COOKING CLUB cookbook -- THE FEAST GOES ON speaks of a community drawn together by food, telling intimate and moving stories of sharing and survival, love and hope, friendship and family. From precious family recipes that have been lovingly handed down the generations, right through to new classics that will become instant family favourites, from everyday eating to feasting, comfort food to traditional dishes, this is a cookbook of rich, wonderful ideas and flavours to nurture, nourish and inspire. THE FEAST GOES ON will feed you, body and soul. 'Having this book at home is pure cosy joy' Nigella Lawson 'To see these recipes handed down like this with such spirited generosity, is real food for the soul' Sean Moran 'Collecting and saving family recipes is a vital undertaking, almost (but not quite) as important as eating ... a remarkable excursion into the realm of comfort food. You just want to eat everything' Yotam Ottolenghi

Lisa Goldberg, Merelyn Frank Chalmers, Natanya Eskin and Jacqui Israel from Sydney's Jewish community came together almost 15 years ago as friends with a shared desire to uncover their food-obsessed community's heirloom recipes. The sisterhood has been meeting every Monday morning (and now many other days) for almost fifteen years with an unwavering mission to preserve recipes from past generations for us, and from our generation for the future.
