Cooking with my family

During Lockdown we have had precious time with my most cherished people-my children and husband. As we have spent a large proportion of the time in the kitchen preparing meals (21 meals a day), we realised that we needed to expand our weekly and daily repertoire of what we make to eat. My greatest joy is to be able to book meals with my boys and daughter in law. Each one has made a contribution in a different way. As it is soon approaching my 60th birthday, I thought that we should compile a book of the recipes that we eat often and also a book to cover the food we  eat now and our traditional food to pass to the next generation. I thought about the food recipes travelling from Lithuania, South Africa, the UK, Australia, Israel and all the places that our families have dispersed.  

As everyone has slightly different dietary requirements, I thought it would be useful to compile all these recipes into one book for our family to preserve and treasure. In addition over the many years of making shabbat and yomtov meals I wanted to include the foods that we eat for celebrations and special occasions.  As we have had so many meals at our friends in London, they have become family and we have spent so many wonderful times together. It is during this lockdown period that we think of them and thank them and so we have compiled all these together for our family and friends.
