As a child my mom made roast chicken and brisket on a regular basis. What pleasant memories.

Recipes passed down from generation to generation are cherished and prized. We, who were fortunate to watch our grandmamas (Bubbies) create mouthwatering delights using a handful of this and a handful of that...hoped that one day we too would be blessed with "just the right-sized hands" to pass on to our own children and grandchildren the art of Jewish cooking! What pride we take when our familes comment on the tantalizing aromas and delicious traditional foods that "only grandmama/mama knows how to make"!

You brought back memories of my grandmother's cooking. Her cooking was the best! I remember she made a double recipe of apple strudel for my brother's bar mitzvah. The party was at night and we had some out of town relatives coming over after services that my mother needed to feed. My grandmother made a double recipe (4 large strudels). It all disappeared in under 15 minutes. She promised to pass her recipes to me - and only me - but by the time I was old enough to make her recipes, she had forgotten them (she was in an adult home for a number of years). She took all of her wonderful recipes to the grave.

I was an Italian kid who grew up in a mixed Italian and Jewish neighborhood. I had the best Jewish food at my friend's houses, fresh and homemade by their moms and grandmoms. The noodle kugel in this article looks fabulous. I'm definitely going to try it. I'll try it out on my Jewish friend Barbara, who's a fabulous cook. If she says it's good, you KNOW it's good. By the way, for a non-Jewish guy, I make a mean mandel bread (thank you Muriel Goldberg, wherever you are, for the recipe!).

I'm quite shocked that some readers reacted to this delightful lighthearted article with such hate, where is it coming from?....the article simply shows recipes and hints for baking and cooking....
