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..
