Celebrating with the Kosher Butcher's Wife

by Sharon Lurie

Overview

Celebrating with the Kosher Butcher’s Wife can be described as ‘cooking throughout the Jewish year’. The Jewish calendar has many significant festivals and, inevitably, food plays a major role in the celebrations. Each chapter covers a different festival: Pesach, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Channukah, Purim, and Shabbat. Sharon Lurie brings a contemporary feel to traditional dishes, and the pages are infused with amusing anecdotes, delicious recipes and beautiful full-colour photographs.

About the Author

Sharon Lurie married into a fourth-generation family of butchers and, after experimenting and creating for over three decades, has certainly proved that meat from the forequarter need not be tough, dry or boring. After contributing recipes to local and international media sites, she wrote her first award winning book, Cooking with the Kosher Butcher’s Wife which became the trusted name in Kosher cooking. Continuing in the same vein, with the addition of fish recipes, Celebrating with the Kosher Butcher’s Wife followed shortly thereafter (also published by Struik Lifestyle). This book together with personal stories and discovering traditional recipes with modern variations kept readers entertained as they celebrated traditional Jewish holiday foods. Sharon has her own cooking show on Chai FM radio and continues to consult and create exciting kosher recipes with all the wonderful kosher products so freely available.

Michael Smith is a Johannesburg-based photographer who has done the lifestyle and food photography on Sharon Lurie’s previous two cookbooks as well – The Kosher Butcher’s Wife and Celebrating with the Kosher Butcher’s Wife.
