By The Monday Morning Cooking Club (HarperCollins, 271 pp.)
Six Jewish women in Sydney, Australia, began meeting every Monday morning for cups of tea. Their meetings gradually evolved into a "sisterhood" that took it upon themselves to find the best 100 recipes from across a culturally diverse Jewish community with roots and cooking traditions from all across Europe. Each recipe begins with a short story of the featured cook and the history of their dish. Together, has created a personal history warmed with stories from the heart and acres of feel-good recipes.
