The cookbook includes a wide variety of recipes, ranging from everyday meals to festive dishes for special occasions like Passover, Hanukkah, and Rosh Hashanah. Greenbaum emphasizes the use of kosher ingredients and proper preparation methods, in keeping with Jewish dietary laws, and she provides instructions for preparing a wide array of soups, meats, salads, pastries, and desserts. The recipes are designed to be practical and accessible for both novice and experienced cooks, with clear directions and helpful tips.The International Jewish Cook Book was groundbreaking in its effort to preserve and share Jewish culinary traditions at a time when many Jewish immigrants were seeking to integrate into American society while maintaining their cultural identity. The book is still cherished today for its historical value, offering readers not only a vast collection of traditional Jewish recipes but also a snapshot of the rich cultural diversity of the Jewish diaspora. It remains a cherished reference for anyone interested in Jewish cuisine and culinary history.
