Yes this is one of them. And seeing I suggested it had something to do with my country of birth It hasn't really but I wonder why the site attracted me? Yes where I actually went to see not whether there would be cookbook for sale or something nice to eat no I knew I had to see as I have done elsewhere in the world to be astounded by what was done to the Jewish people during WWII. Of course I was born in Bavaria after the war but that doesn't stop me searching each city for the Jewish Museum. And this one in Sydney's Darlinghurst I can thoroughly recommend. That's strange you might say for a German to seek out some place like this. Well its not so hard to understand. I spent many years in Bondi where I made many Jewish friends and enjoyed their cooking. So much so that I asked did they have a cookbook for sale and they certainly did. I not only love their intelligence and sense of humour but that's another story...if there had been a book of jokes for sale, I would have bought that too.
If you look closely you'll see photos of some
contributors involved. Yes each person submitted
a favourite recipe. And some of the people taking part had earned some notoriety in the Australian society. Despite now living overseas they wanted to have their recipe and story included.
If you enlarge the picture you might recognise the famous pianist family of the Helfgotts.
No matter where they called home and you'll recognise a few places most people loved to be included. This made for a very thick book with a huge range of tastes.
My favourite, as I love duck, and so easy to make a success of...your friends will be impressed!
And lentils not very exciting for some people
but nevertheless cheap and healthy.
