This book made me HUNGRY! I loved the detail it goes into and it inspired me to not only check out some of my local Jewish delis, but also to try and incorporate some of the flavorings and meats and techniques discussed here into my own cooking!

***WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK ON AN EMPTY STOMACH***

This was one if the most fascinating books I've read in a long time. Randomly, I know a lot of Jewish foods from watching Seinfeld. Random right?! I really wish I lived closer to a Jewish Deli
