Hi Ladies, just thought I'd drop you a line letting you know that this is the Best cook book I have ever purchased, I have just come back from a week away in the Blue Mountains with 3 of my girlfriends and brought your book in Leura, read it cover to cover and I hope and pray another is on the way! Well done, cant wait to start cooking.

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.

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 ! !

From the moment I finished reading “The Monday Cooking Club,” I have very much wanted to put “pen to paper” to let you know how it affected me. It is so much more than a cook book. It is a history, a journey and the most wonderful legacy. Tradition is passed on through story telling, and the stronger the story, the greater the resonance. With each page turned, the story grew louder, and tears of belonging and identity appeared unexpectedly. It is a book filled with joy, wonder and pride. Equally it is a book of great sensitivity and restraint. You should feel so proud in what you have achieved. It is abundantly well deserved.

These recipes are not only a valuable cultural heirloom that unveils everything nurturing about the Jewish table, they are secrets to the most exquisite ‘apple strudel’ or astonishingly light ‘angel cake’ I’ve ever tasted. To see them handed down like this with such spirited generosity, is real food for the soul. Congratulations to you all. I can’t wait!
