Summary "The Jewish Manual" by Lady Judith Cohen Montefiore is a culinary guide focusing on Jewish and modern cooking, first published in the mid-19th century. This unique work intends to bridge the gap in available cookbooks by providing practical recipes tailored for the Jewish housekeeper, addressing dietary restrictions and traditional ingredients often absent in contemporary cookbooks. The opening of the manual presents an editor's preface that outlines the rationale behind the compilation, emphasizing the need for recipes that adhere to Jewish dietary laws, while also incorporating English and French modern dishes. It highlights the objective of making cooking accessible for women of the time, who might lack experience in the kitchen due to the demands of contemporary education. The preface also promises clarity and ease in instructions, while discussing the connection between domestic skills and personal refinement. Thus, the book sets up a practical framework for both traditional Jewish recipes and common modern cooking techniques, offering insights that apply to a wide audience, including those not of the Hebrew persuasion.
