Jewish-Chinese Chicken Soup, A Couple of Kvetches
I have been holding back. After my new Jewish book was sent to the printer – so this recipe is not in the book -- I had a chicken soup revelation that I have not yet shared with you. I call it Chinese-Jewish Fusion Soup. I also call it Miracle Chicken Soup, it’s that amazing. I’ll be demonstrating it in my cooking classes this spring (take a look at my appearance schedule), but I thought it was time to tell all of you who will not be able to attend one of those few classes. It’s my gift upon the publication of Arthur Schwartz’s Jewish Home Cooking: Yiddish Recipes Revisited, which is now available on Amazon.com, through Jessica’s Biscuit, the internet cookbook seller; Barnes & Noble on line, and should be at your local bookstore any minute, if not already. My friend the acclaimed baking teacher and writer, Nick Malgieri, just reported to me that he saw it on the “new arrivals” table as he walked in the door of a San Francisco Borders. Very exciting!

Rabbi Barbara in Florida, I'm on CT radio (and the internet)
You know I love Italy. And you know I’m Jewish and I love being Jewish. So, you coulda figured, as we might say in Brooklyn, that eventually I’d get more than casually interested in the history of the Jews in Italy, especially southern Italy.

New Appearance Schedule and a Love Torte
As you all know, “Arthur Schwartz’s Jewish Home Cooking: Yiddish Recipes Revisited” is being published in March by Ten Speed Press, which is famous for its gorgeous full-color cookbooks. This debut will be keeping me very busy this spring with personal appearances all over the New York metro area. I’ve prepared a new illustrated lecture based on the book, using both Ben Fink’s photography from the book, which makes our old-time Yiddish dishes look as delicious and glamorous as any fashionable cuisine, plus many of the historic visuals I have collected over the years – old restaurant menus, restaurant postcards, even some material from the Catskill Mountain resorts, the Borscht Belt. I will also be doing demonstration cooking classes at several area cooking schools, book signings and informal talks at bookstores … . This is all to tell you that my new appearance schedule is now posted on www.thefoodmaven.com (aka www.arthurschwartz.com). Take a look. I am hoping to see many of you at these events.
