      June 17, 2006: I heard the author being interviewed on a radio show, then went out and bought the book and am so happy I did. The recipes are easy to prepare, use simple ingredients, are pretty much fooolproof and very tasty. I'm particularly fond of the cold beet borscht which makes a great summer meal and takes about 5 minutes to prepare. With over 200 recipes to choose from starting with appetizers and ending with desserts, the wide variery of choices makes it easy to menu plan a full meal in a matter of minutes. In addition to the food, I also enjoyed the introduction, the vintage family photos and the beginning of each chapter, where the author offers some interesting and often amusing rememberances of growing up with a Jewish grandmother. It almost made me feel like I was part of the family.

      October 21, 2005: You do not need to be a grandmother or Jewish to cook like you. This book shares the love the author had for her grandmother, which is filled with delicious recipes for any occasion. Marla Brooks is an Los Angeles-based entertainment writer. Her family ran Slobod?s Delicatessen in Philadelphia in the 30's and 40's. She grew up eating fantastic food, and decided to share these wonderful recipes. Throughout this nice book, there are photos of her family. These photos help show readers how much Brooks' family and heritage meant to her. The recipes are not difficult at all, so you do not need to be an expert to enoy this book. And if you are, you may enjoy the comfort of having home cooking as opposed to gourmet meals. As you may wonder, there are some terminologies that a lot of people would be unfamiliar with. Brooks includes an index to explain Jewsih words and terms. Some of the tasty recipes included in this book are: Grandma's Hot Beef Borscht, Passover Potato Latkes, Yummy Lentil Soup, and Grandma's Old-Fashioned Gefilte Fish. Also, due to Brooks' profession, she managed to obtain recipes from other Jewish entertainers, such as Richard Simmons and Dr. Ruth Westheimer. The book is broker down into the following chapters: Breakfast / Brunch Appetizers Soups and Stews Salads Sandwiches Entrees Vegetables and Side Dishes Desserts Holiday Dishes Glossary and more. For regular meals or parties, surprise your family and friends and whip up some meals from this book. It will take you back in time and bring back the feeling of comfort!
