Out of Our Kitchen Closets: San Francisco Gay Jewish Cooking

Out of Our Kitchen Closets: San Francisco Gay Jewish Cooking by Editor. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780961924201.

Out of Our Kitchen Closets is a collection of tried and true recipes submitted by members, families and friends of Congregation Sha’ar Zahav in San Francisco – a city noted both for its good food and its thriving gay community. Each entry was carefully tested and tasted. We were looking for easy to prepare recipes that taste great – and we got 150 of them! What is Gay Jewish Cooking? It is the traditional dishes of our congregants’ ancestors, updated and translated for our fast-paced society. For the adventuresome, we have Japanese Pumpkin Soup that’s kosher for Passover. For the traditionalist, you’ll find 17 types of Kugel, and a classic California Quiche. And don’t be shocked to find a slice of kiwi next to the blintzes. The Cookbook is sprinkled with the heart-warming stories that invariably surround Jewish family life – both traditional and extended. And the Introduction chronicles the ten-year history of this dynamic Congregation. No matter how you slice it, Out of Our Kitchen Closets will satisfy your hunger, warm your heart, and make you proud. So enjoy! (from the back cover)
