Hi all,

I really enjoyed the recent thread on Jake Cohen's cookbook Jew-ish. Perhaps it was the tongue-in-cheek tone which caused me to initially dismiss the book, but the thread pointed me to two recipes I ended up trying that were terrific.

I thought that if we, as a Reddit community, chose a cookbook or two every month and volunteered to cook different recipes each week, we could report back on what some real gems might be (or some ones to avoid!) and really explore the titles in detail. We could choose some older books and some recent ones as well. Anyone up for this?

As an aside, I'm a Jewish cookbook collector of sorts and have uncounted dozens of them. Some I've worn down I've used them so much over decades, others I've barely touched.

As far as which ones to start with this week (if there's enough interest), we could start with:

• Go back to "Jew-ish"
• "52 Shabbats" was brought up in the above thread, that might be a good one as well
• Go with an older title like a Susie Fishbein book or the "2nd Avenue Deli Cookbook"
• Go with a new title, like Nosh, which I can't wait to try

Thoughts or ideas? Thank you!
