Summary: Excellent book, but nothing beats Molly Goldberg
Comment: I enjoyed looking through this book, but when it comes to finding and following a recipe, I prefer The Molly Goldberg Jewish Cookbook. Her recipes are straightforward and easy-to-follow--and they always come out like my grandmother's. Her anecdotes are entertaining, as are Leberwohl's, but more down-homey--about family rather than celebrities.

Summary: Name Dropping A Cookbook Doesn't Make
Comment: Grew up eating at 2nd Ave Deli. Ordered book expecting to see specifics on how to feel the texture of food when ready, how to smell when the meat is done, the taste of the dishes when seasoned correctly, etc. I wanted to read simple recipes as chicken stock or pastrami sandwiches with what bread, which mustard etc. Instead, got some token personal info on owner and family but with significant portion of recipes from entertainment stars, etc. who had dined at the 2nd Ave Deli and had a recipe for some dish. A revised edition would sell extremely well at times when 1st and 2nd generations are trying to collect authentic recipes that survived Ellis Island and the era of New York City when immigrants were their foods and rituals. Diasappointed.

Summary: Just two little things
Comment: Two small complaints, however: (1) nothing in this book is particularly healthful, and (2) some recipes require contents that are not particularly easy to come by if you're outside of a very Jewish area. It would have been nice if the authors had included substitution information for those two situations.
Otherwise, it's an excellent cookbook with a wide variety of recipes, as the other reviewers have mentioned.
