Maintaining a Jewish Kitchen
P A G E 2
Two Sets of Everything
There are two separate sets of dishes in this kosher kitchen as well as two sets of silverware, dish racks, pots, and even dishtowels. One is used for fleishig (meat) and the other for milchig (dairy) foods. Dishes are separated by pattern and by their place in the kitchen cupboards.
Getting Comfortable with New Recipes and New Products
This Yiddish-English cookbook is an example of how manufacturers enticed Jewish women to use their products. The book has recipes for traditional dishes and introduced Jewish cooks to American ones such as baking powder biscuits.
A Penny in the Pushke
For many generations, Jewish women have placed money in their pushkes before candlelighting on Friday evening. These turn-of-the-century pushkes supported charitable and educational institutions in Palestine.
