Jewish/Kosher Cookbooks

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.
