Aug 18, 1950—Ida Nasatir, book review, Jewish
Cookery by Leah W.
Leonard, Southwestern Jewish Press, page 6: Editor's Note:
This review ran without a byline but was accompanied by Ida Nasatir's photo.
Many Jewish publishers shame-facedly admit that
their perennial best-sellers are Jewish cook books, which makes Dr. Max Nordau's
charge of "Bauch Judentum" far from inaccurate in regard to Jewish
interest in eating Jewish foods. The latest entry in the cookery
sweepstakes is Leah Leonard's tastefully published Jewish Cookery, which
is "in accordance with the Jewish Dietary Laws." Needless to say
there are special sections for the dishes and goodies peculiar to certain
holidays and feast days, like Passover, Purim, etc. According to all
responsible housewives, this is a highly useful book.
