>>>'The Food Maven' reveals his favorite Jewish eats
>>>BY IRENE SAX
>>>March 28,2008
>>>
>>>Gefilte fish, matzo balls floating in golden chicken soup, brisket
>>>with onion gravy and peppery potato kugel. At sundown on April 19, the
>>>first night of Passover, many Jews will sit down to a meal like this.
>>>
>>>But traditional Jewish foods are too delicious to have only on
>>>holidays, says self-proclaimed food maven (and former Daily News food
>>>editor) Arthur Schwartz. He's the author of the new "Jewish Home
>>>Cooking: Yiddish Recipes Revisited," a fond evocation of the cooking
>>>style brought to this country by Jewish immigrants from Eastern
>>>Europe.
>>>
>>>Many are iconic New York dishes. For years, says Schwartz, when people
>>>talked about New York food they were really talking about Jewish
>>>food.
>>>
>>>Pastrami and matzo ball soup are practically tourist attractions.
>>>Knishes are sold from street carts.
>>>
>>>Is there anyone who hasn't eaten a bagel? Cheesecake? Challah French
>>>toast? A kosher hot dog and a sour pickle?
>>>
>>>These days, observant Jews may eat Japanese sushi and Italian pizza,
>>>French crepes and Arab hummus and falafel. But the recipes in "Jewish
>>>Home Cooking" are for the nostalgic cooking of Ashkenazi, or Eastern
>>>European, Jews.
