MembersReviewsPopularityAverage ratingConversations

"The New Jewish Table explores the melding of two different cooking cultures, seasonal American and Eastern-European Jewish, sharing the mouth-watering recipes that result from this flavorful union from authors, chef Todd Gray and his wife Ellen Kassoff Gray. More than a love story about what one can do with fresh ingredients, Todd and Ellen talk about the food they grew up with, their life together, and how rewarding the sharing of two people's traditions--and meals--can be. When Chef Todd married his wife, Ellen, who is Jewish, their union brought about his initiation into the world of Jewish cooking. In 1999, Todd combined his love for farm-to-table ingredients with his passion for Jewish cuisine, opening the acclaimed Equinox Restaurant in Washington, D.C. With more than 125 recipes including reinterpretations of traditional Jewish favorites made with fresh, seasonal ingredients, from Yukon Gold and Sweet Potato Latkes, Ellen's Falafel with Pickled Vegetables and Minted Lemon Yogurt, and Roasted Heirloom Beets with Capers and Pistachios, to Matzo-Stuffed Cornish Game Hens, Fig and Port Wine Blintzes, and Chocolate Hazelnut Rugelach, there are recipes for every occasion that the entire family will enjoy"--… (more)

When two cultures come together in a family, mealtime often brings delightful surprises. This is especially true for Todd and Ellen Gray, the couple who owns Equinox Restaurant in Washington, DC. An acclaimed chef, Todd isn't Jewish, but when he married Ellen he embraced her family's passion for Jewish food. In the couple's new book, Todd elegantly refines such Jewish classics as matzo ball soup, brisket, and latkes (his version gets topped with crème fraîche, horseradish, and salmon caviar). The 125 appealing recipes, which assume a certain competence on the part of the cook, range from fresh modern fare like Quinoa Salad with Figs and Mint, and Grilled Lamb Burgers with Olive Tapenade to cherished family favorites like Kassoffs' Sweet Noodle Kugel. There are also dishes that represent Todd's Italian-inspired, seasonally driven cooking style. Though you don't need to keep kosher to enjoy the food in this collection, each recipe has been given a dairy, pareve, or meat designation.
