The food at The 2nd Ave. Deli is what your grandmother, mother, or a friend's family cooked. (Especially if you are not Jewish but loved being well fed.) From its recipes for Schmalz (the rendered chicken fat indispensable to real, old-fashioned Jewish dishes) and what is arguably the best chopped liver in the world, to Health Salad (a mayonnaise-less, sweet coleslaw), potato kugel (a dense, crisp-crusted pudding), six versions of chicken soup, a Honey Chiffon Cake served for Jewish New Year, and Mandelbrot, an almond-studded Jewish biscotti, this cookbook offers the best of the hefty, soul-satisfying Jewish cooking that is the ultimate comfort food.

Having survived World War II, and, at 19, hungry to succeed, Abe Lebewohl arrived in New York City in 1950, a Jewish immigrant from Russia. His first job was working in a deli on Coney Island. In 1954, he took over the tiny luncheonette near New York's bustling Lower East Side, which he renamed the 2nd Ave. Deli. From that day forward, he looked after his customers (and everyone else he felt needed it) with spontaneous generosity. The stories in this book from his daughter and other people who knew Abe bring to life the passion and love he served along with the best authentic Jewish home cooking--making it clear why he was called the Mayor of Second Avenue. The deli, a magnet for tourists and New York City locals, is now also a memorial to Abe Lebewohl, who was killed in 1996 during a robbery after the restaurant had closed for the night. His daughter wrote this cookbook as a memorial to him, as well as to share the family's recipes for elemental Jewish cooking. Its 166 recipes, black-and-white photographs, and inspiring text make this a joyful celebration by his family and friends. --Dana Jacobi

Book Description

The Second Avenue Deli has been an internationally renowned Gotham landmark for nearly half a century. Over the years, its founder, Abe Lebewohl, provided the best Jewish fare in town, transforming his tiny ten-seat Village eatery into a New York institution.

The Second Avenue Deli Cookbook contains more than 160 of Abe Lebewohl's recipes, including all of the Deli's peerless renditions of traditional Jewish dishes: chicken soup with matzo balls, chopped liver, gefilte fish, kasha varnishkes, mushroom barley soup, noodle kugel, potato latkes, blintzes, and many more. These versatile dishes are perfect for any occasion--from holiday dinners to Sunday brunches with friends and family.

The late Abe Lebewohl was a great restaurateur in the showman tradition and a well-known and much-loved New York personality. His famous Deli attracted hundreds of celebrity patrons, many of whom have graciously contributed to this cookbook not only personal reminiscences but also recipes, running the gamut from Morley Safer's family brisket to Paul Reiser's formula for the perfect egg cream. A wonderful blend of New York and Jewish history and mouthwatering recipes, The Second Avenue Deli Cookbook provides a delicious taste of nostalgia.

I recently bought this book when I found out the deli was closing.I have tried the noodle pudding,potato pancakes,macaroni salad,and matzo balls.All are out of this world!I love this book and plan to make many more of the recipes.

Recipes for me and my children.......2004-07-07

This book is fabulous. I originally saw it in the library and borrowed it. After borrowing it three times, I decided to buy it. I've made just about everything in the book and many of these foods are the same foods I remember my grandmother making. The gribbinis is one I remember very fondly. I still have memories of my jewish grandmother serving it to my dad at her kitchen table in Brooklyn, New York when I was about 10 years old.

I've introduced my sons who are 15 and 18 to many of these dishes and so far they have loved every single one of them. The recipes are easy to follow and best of all, they are just about fool-proof. I didn't have any problem with any of the recipes. Just when I think one recipe can't be outdone, I try another and it is just as good.

A MUST HAVE for anyone who wants to learn about jewish cooking and for jews who grew up in NYC and had eastern european family. These foods are the type of jewish cooking that can be appreciated by anyone, even if they are not jewish.

Book Description

The Great Deli Cookbook: A Voluptuous Adventure by Merle Horwitz, with recipes courtesy of Marvin Saul, proprietor of Junior's Deli in Los Angeles, CA, is everything - every secret, every ingredient, every ounce of loving tenderness which goes into the creation of one of the world's most beloved food categories. The deli is an American Gastronomic Institution enjoyed by the melting pot of ethnicities found here. The Great Deli Cookbook is published in a hardcover format by Bedford Books.

Everything you'd find on your favorite deli menu is found in The Great Deli Cookbook from the vaguely familiar but exotic sounding - stuffed cabbage kreplach, noodle kugel, potato knish, beet borscht, rice pudding, cheese blintzes, chopped liver, matzo balls, reuben sandwich, corned beef and cabbage and pastrami to the more exotic - potato pirogen, kasha varnishkas, tzimmis to the commonplace - macaroni and cheese, potato salad, chicken soup, meat loaf, and bread pudding.

Presented with glorious full-color original artwork, each recipe is wrapped around warm and wonderful vignettes of the lore and healing properties of the "chicken soup" metier.

The Great Deli Cookbook brings to life the history and lore of traditional deli fare. With a pinch of black pepper, a smidgen of vinegar, and a bit of allspice, one can become a great deli cook at home.

I died laughing reading the author's comments on chicken soup-- his mother's --his mother-in-laws-- but that's beside the point. I made the soup in no TIME and it's delicious. Other recipes look good too and will try them. Thanks!

Stories and art make this book unusual. A table top cookbook - charming very short family stories.

THE BIG EASY COOKBOOK.......2005-06-13

Easy To Prepare, easy to serve, and easy on the palate, these traditional and contemporary deli-style recipes offer suggestions for soups and sandwiches, breads, desserts, deli meats and deli treats.

Culled from a selection of Italian, Jewish, Scandinavian, French, German, Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, there's something here for every yen and preference.

You can begin your day with a homemade bagel or French toast made with challah - a gleaming tan crusted European egg bread with a moist yolk-hued interior. Lunch is the best when it's a New York pastrami and chopped liver sandwich accompanied by coleslaw and chunky crisp pickles. Keratin's Swedish Meatballs roll away all competition, especially when served with lingonberry sauce.

In addition to over 225 recipes, the book includes advice on ingredients, menus, and techniques plus eye catching illustrations by Eric Donelan.

Great Recipes for Spiritual and Physical Healthiness!!.......2002-01-13

This cookbook is a blessing. It has helped me focus on healthier eating from both a physical and a spiritual aspect. The recipes are all natural. Everything is made from scratch. It is extremely wonderful for people who like to cook and plan their meals ahead.

Lasagne to die for!!!.......2001-09-25

My family is working towards a better healthier diet. This means a reduction in animal foods [although we will likely not become total vegetarians]. The recipes are easy to follow, not a lot of complicated ingredients, and the results are fantastic. No one knew they were eating a purely vegetarian lasagne, but WOW, did I ever get compliments!!

I recommend this book to anyone who is starting the adventure of incorporating more vegetarian meals in their lifestyle. You WON'T be disappointed!

A great book for those who truly want to eat healthy!.......2000-12-20

This book is a great book for those who are vegan or just want to eat healthy. I attended a health seminar by the Bracketts and they cooked something from this book every night of the seminar. I really learned alot about how to make good tasting food alternatives such as a butter alternative, a mayo alternative and a great cheese alternative. These recipes are good tasting and are in the book. The recipes in this book are vegan and many are low fat. From breakfast to dinner this cook book gives some real great recipes for your health.
