Honey Cake & Latkes

"Preparing the dishes in this substantial new cookbook feels like paying homage to resilient survivors."
-- Florence Fabricant * The New York Times *
"A perfect gift for anyone who loves the traditions and food in the Jewish religion." * Glamour *
"Honey Cake & Latkes is more than a collection of recipes. It also contains inspiring stories from the survivors as well as archival and contemporary photographs showing their resilience." * Jewish Telegraphic Agency *
"Sure, Honey Cake & Latkes contains enough Jewish recipes to feed an oneg's-worth of hungry mouths, but in this poignant, one-of-a-kind cookbook, the matzo balls and latkes take a backseat to the subject matter at hand: the collective legacy and triumph of the survivors of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, whose families provided the recipes for the compilation. The cookbook is also a gift that keeps on giving, since all proceeds are donated to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Foundation."  * Saveur *

“You’ll want to cook this mix of well-known classics like matzo brei and lesser known dishes such as mamaglia, a Romanian staple akin to polenta. But just as much, you’ll want to savor the stunning photographs of the foods and, more importantly, the stories of the survivors.” —Dawn Davis, Editor in Chief, Bon Appetit

"Rather than a sad postscript to genocide, the book is a celebration of the power of food told from the perspective of a population who, contrary to expectations, telegraphs survival, renewal and joy." —Adeena Sussman, Hadassah Magazine
