Cookery Collection - Jewish/Kosher
Jewish/Kosher cookery is one of the finest examples of food and
eating habits as it relates to culture, religion, and migration.
Recently an effort was initiated to build a strong representative
collection of this important food tradition. In the collection,
for example, is the French-Kosher Cookbook, Cooking the Polish
Jewish Way, and Chinese Kosher Cookbook. First edition
facsimiles of The Jewish Manual (1846), the first Jewish
cookery book printed in English, and Jewish Cookery Book
(1871), the first book of Jewish cookery published in the United
States highlight the collection.
