These cuisines may now be on the verge of extinction, however, because practically none the Jewish communities in which these cuisines developed and thrived exist anymore. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe only place all of these cuisines are still functional is Israel, where there are still a few first-generation cooks that know and love these dishes. Israel is, in a sense, a living laboratory of this beloved and endangered Jewish food; the 100 diversely flavored recipes here-from Jerusalem's surprising, sweet kugel flavored with pepper to Bukharan's hearty Ushapualau, a wondrous stew of beef, chickpeas, and carrots-were not chosen by an editor or a chef so much as by what Janna Gur calls \"natural selection.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese are the dishes that, though rooted in their original provenance, have been embraced by Israelis from throughout the Diaspora and have become part of Israel's culinary landscape. Aimed to educate and delight the grandchildren and even great-grandchildren of those who carried their cuisines on journeys far from their orginal homes, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eJewish Soul Food\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e proceeds from the premise that the only way to preserve traditional cuisine is to cook it. The book offers all cooks the \"greatest hits\" from a fascinating food culture-a chance to enrich their cooking repertoire and at the same time help to preserve a valuable part of Jewish heritage and its collective \"soul.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJanna Gur was born and raised in the former Soviet Union and immigrated to Israel in 1974.
