A Jewish Baker’s Pastry Secrets

Rating: 5 of 5
“A Jewish Baker’s Pastry Secrets” is another wonderful and welcome cookbook from George Greenstein. His first book, “Secrets of a Jewish Baker”, as a real god-send for me, at the time I received it, as a novice baker. I enjoyed reading and trying a variety of the bread recipes in it.
When I saw that Mr. Greenstein had another book being published, and this one involved pastry, I knew that I would have to get it and have fun making a whole new set of his tried and true recipes.
The book also includes many interesting stories and much information about a lifetime of knowledge by a professional baker. This is the type of information that is generally handed down from generation to generation and it is a real honor to be able to receive Mr. Greenstein’s advice and knowledge.
There is a large number of recipes in the cookbook and more than I can list here. Suffice to say, it will keep me busy for a long time to come.
I received a temporary digital ARC copy of this book from the publisher, Ten Speed Press, via Netgalley. I have pre-ordered a copy for myself and one as a gift for a friend. I am considering how many more copies to buy this holiday season as gifts for family and friends. It is a real treasure of a book.
