Old Cookbooks and Food History
Jewish Cookbooks 1815-1945
For post WW II
books and background information on Jewish cookery see articles and books by Barbara Kirschenblatt-Gimblett. Some
of the books in yiddish also have a text in English. Note that some of the
books quoted have treyf (non-kosher) recipes. There is only one Scandiunavian
book in the period, for more recent Norwegian, Danish and Swedish books see Jewish Cookbooks in Scandinavia.
