Second Helpings, Please!: The Iconic Jewish Cookbook - Norene Gilletz

n n This iconic cookbook was a project of the Mount Sinai Chapter of B'nai Brith Women of Canada, as it was then known. 50 years ago the members got together with a project in mind: sharing traditional recipes with simple and explicit instructions that everyone can enjoy. The thought then was that it would only take a couple of months to complete and a simple cookbook would be produced that would be suitable for young brides. n n The simple project took three and a half years to complete. It was an instant success and quickly became the go to gift for showers and weddings, eventually for young adults moving into their first apartments and finally for anyone and everyone setting up a kitchen. The cookbook has not only become a collector's item and is desirable for its great recipes and historic value as well as for its sentimental value, but has gone down to be thought of as one of the best Jewish cookbooks ever. n
