The author’s son, Paul Grossinger writes in the Introduction of the book that “Food has always been important to the Jewish family, not for itself alone—although it is certainly appreciated—but as a gift from the Lord, which therefore gives it special significance at the most important occasions in life.” “A Jewish cookbook can be almost considered a history book—a history of 5700 years of happiness and sorrow.”.
