The Economical Jewish Cook: A Modern Orthodox Recipe Book for Young Housekeepers

The collection offers practical, economical recipes and kitchen instruction adapted to Orthodox dietary laws, aimed at young housekeepers and cookery classes. It opens with household hints and clear koshering procedures, then provides organized recipes—soups, milk and cheap soups, main dishes, Passover and invalid-diet variations—each with approximate preparation times and tips for seasoning, colouring, and preserving. Appendices supply teaching notes, lists of utensils, and cost-saving suggestions, while brief technical notes explain techniques such as thickening, drying herbs, and making liquid browning. Emphasis is on affordable ingredients, classroom use, and reliable methods for daily and festival cooking.
