Why read it?
1 author picked King Solomon's Table as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Joan Nathan is really an authority on Jewish cooking and her latest book, King Solomon's Table, is a wonderful compendium of Jewish recipes from all around the world and across the ages. The book manages to be both culturally informative and mouth-watering, thorough to a T, and at the same time approachable also for the less experienced home cooks.

From Benedetta's list on Jewish cookbooks you should own.
