Hi ladies, I purchased your book earlier this year as I eagerly devour any cookbook that appears to have soul. However your book has become my obsession as I cannot get enough of it! I have already made many of the dishes and can't wait to try them all. Thankyou for a wonderful book and I can't wait for the next one ! !

Hi there, I was given a copy of your book last week and I wanted to let you know what a masterpiece I think it is. I have had an absolute bake-a-thon and my husband and children are thrilled with me -always a good feeling!  I am leaving for a holiday tomorrow and now can't wait to get home to keep using it. Thank you ladies for all your hard work!

Cooking and sharing delicious food is an intrinsic part of Jewish life, one might say the very soul of the family and community. Recipes pass from mother to daughter enriched with the tales associated with the ceremonies of everyday life and festivities. Tradition demands the cooking of specific dishes to celebrate the union of the family in both joyous and mournful times. The Jewish community has arguably the richest tapestry of culinary culture and the passion to share it for perpetuity.

There is a beautiful poignancy about this recipe book. Sure, it’s still all about the food. But the stories and photography (by renowned food photographer Alan Benson) that accompany each recipe took me on an insightful (and delicious) journey into the kitchens of more than 60 cooks. ... Monday Morning Cooking Club is definitely a keeper. I’ve already bought another three copies for friends. This is one of those recipe books that brings smiles, fabulous flavours and full tummies wherever it goes.

I love the look of it: the heavy, tri-folded cover, the warm, beautifully composed photographs, and of course, the fantastic recipes. Most of all, though, it was the love of family, friends and cooking that sang through in the women’s stories and recipes.
