Details

Synopsis A justly famous New York landmark shares its recipes for such favorites as matzo ball soup, kreplach, and gefilte fish, as well as trendier innovations. The cookbook is particularly poignant because its owner was murdered in 1996; his daughter has taken over, and she has gathered not only her father's recipes but those of people in the food world who love the Second Avenue Deli.

Industry Reviews "The cookbook...includes all the deli's specialties: the decadent chopped liver, homey chicken soup with matzoh balls..., kasha varnishkes and cholent, which Lebewohl was fond of calling 'the Jewish cassoulet.' The book also includes favorite recipes from some of Lebewohl's favorite people (and customers), which is why you can find Bobby Flay's yellow corn pancakes with smoked salmon and mango-serrano crème fraîche next to the deli's own potato latkes."
