My Yiddishe Mama is more than just a Jewish cookbook. It captures the stories of South African Jews and traces their roots back to Eastern Europe; Africa and the Middle East. These nostalgic stories are sure to make you laugh and cry, but most importantly, remember.

Not only did each Yiddishe Mama share their story with me, but they gave me some of their most treasured possessions – their famous recipes. Each recipe has been tried and tested; they are delicious; uncomplicated and are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

My hope is that as you page through My Yiddishe Mama, you will remember to celebrate the past, live joyfully in the present and share in the prospect of the future. The key ingredient in this book is love, and you are sure to find it on every page!
