Meatballs and Matzah Balls shares Marcia Friedman’s journey to unite her Italian and Jewish heritages through food after she converted to Judaism. In the book, she recreates and refines classics like latkes and lasagna, reinterprets and modernizes others, like balsamic onion polenta and almond Mandelbrot biscotti with white chocolate, and reinvents and melds still others to craft her own mouthwatering Jewish-Italian cuisine—don’t miss her original meatball (meat-stuffed) matzah balls. The book will charm you with warm, personal stories and more than 100 classic and creative winning recipes for holidays and everyday. Meatballs and Matzah Balls makes a great gift for anyone who loves food and stories and especially people new to Judaism or those looking for inspirational ways to blend cultures and traditions in their own lives. All recipes can be made kosher.
Meatballs and Matzah Balls was named a two-time Finalist in the 2014 Indie Book Awards.
“Italian by birth and Jewish by choice, Marcia has amassed a delectable feast filled with nostalgic reflections from both traditions.”—Judy Bart Kancigor, author of Cooking Jewish.
