We read the book The Middlesteins by Jami Attenberg in the book group that I'm 
in and most of us really enjoyed it.  Here's a short summary of the book:
The MiddlesteinsTwo siblings with very different personalities attempt to take 
control of their mother's food obsession and massive weight gain to save her 
life after their father walks out and leaves her reeling in the Chicago suburbs.

Re: [ha-Safran] Jewish Food Fiction

[Kathe Pinchuck]

Esteemed Colleagues:

If you do not have a copy of Jewish American Literature: A Guide to Reading 
Interests by AJL member Roz Reisner, RUN and get one.  This is my go-to 
reference for these kinds of questions.

There are several books that fit:

Heartburn by Nora Ephron is about "Rachel Samstat, a successful cookbook 
author, who is seven months pregnant with her second child when she learns that 
her husband is having an affair and plans to leave her. Food, therapists, 
friends, family, and politics all come into hilarious focus as Rachel matures 
and learns some lessons about love. Recipes included."

Club Revelation by Allan Appel : "The lives of 3 interfaith couples, living on 
the Upper West Side in Manhattan, are disrupted when an evangelical Christian 
opens a cafeteria in their building, hoping to convert Jews."

More recently, Allegra Goodman's The Cookbook Collector:

Emily and Jessamine Bach are opposites in every way: Twenty-eight-year-old 
Emily is the CEO of Veritech, twenty-three-year-old Jess is an environmental 
activist and graduate student in philosophy. Pragmatic Emily is making a 
fortune in Silicon Valley, romantic Jess works in an antiquarian bookstore. 
Emily is rational and driven, while Jess is dreamy and whimsical. Emily’s 
boyfriend, Jonathan, is fantastically successful. Jess’s boyfriends, not so 
much.

National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author Allegra 
Goodman has written a delicious novel about appetite, temptation, and holding 
on to what is real in a virtual world: love that stays. 


Tomorrow There Will Be Apricots by Jessica Soffer:

When 14-year-old Lorca is discovered cutting herself at school and is 
suspended, her mother decides to send her to a private school. Hoping to 
dissuade her, Lorca sets out to find a recipe for Masgouf, an obscure Iraqi 
dish that her mother, a chef, once said was the most delicious thing she had 
ever tasted. Lorca’s quest leads her to Victoria, an elderly Iraqi-Jewish 
immigrant who can teach her how to make the dish. Both lost souls, the two bond 
and soon begin to suspect there is a connection between them larger than that 
of teacher and student. Told in Victoria and Lorca’s alternating first-person 
voices, the character-driven novel focuses, sometimes microscopically, on the 
characters’ troubled emotional lives. The slow pace of the developing story 
sometimes tests the reader’s patience but nevertheless offers fully realized, 
multidimensional characters who invite empathy and compassion. --Michael Cart 
-in Booklist


The Storyteller by Jodi Piccoult has a character who is Jewish and a baker.  
She describes the baking process in the book.  This character's grandmother was 
a Holocaust survivor, and the Minka's (the grandmother) recipes are on 
Piccoult's website:
http://www.jodipicoult.com/the-storyteller.html#recipes

Plot summary:
Sage Singer is a baker, a loner, until she befriends an old man who's 
particularly beloved in her community. Josef Weber is everyone's favorite 
retired teacher and Little League coach. One day he asks Sage for a favor: to 
kill him. Shocked, Sage refuses—and then he confesses his darkest secret – he 
deserves to die because he had been a Nazi SS guard. And Sage's grandmother is 
a Holocaust survivor. How do you react to evil living next door? Can someone 
who's committed truly heinous acts ever atone with subsequent good behavior? 
Should you offer forgiveness to someone if you aren't the party who was 
wronged? And, if Sage even considers the request, is it revenge…or justice?

  Since you are intrigued let me give you the background:
  Tamar Myers is a Jew by choice, born to a Jewish father and a Mennonites 
mother.  She wrote many YA books, but, also has a series called Pennsylvania 
Dutch mysteries with recipes. There is not much Yiddishkiet in the book and the 
recipes are not for typically Jewish food, but the narrator is an

Hi-

I also enjoy Tamar Myers' books, but the Jewish content is minimal. mostly 
broad cultural jokes. The recipes are not "Jewish" at all.

Her books are not in our collection, specifically because they don't fit the 
collection development parameters which specify "Jewish content" .  I  classify 
 them as "incidentally Jewish" books. The word or name may appear, but not much 
else. Substitute Buddist for Jewish and Myers' books would require only a few 
cosmetic changes.

The religion of the author shouldn't be a selection criterion.  Just finished 
weeding a lot of   "incidentally Jewish" or just "by Jewish authors" from our 
collection. Our members can easily find Myers at the public library.

The Fax Me a Bagel series (can't remember the author right now) has a lot of 
food in it, although no recipes. Setting is a Reform synagogue in Texas. Some 
are better than others.

Good luck.

Dear ? 
Allow me to suggest (again) that it helps to know the sender's and 
institution's names. 
 Our collection development policy included books by Jewish authors depends on 
the budget. We added to a collection best seller titles by Jewish authors in 
order to get patrons through the door and increase circulation.
You are right about Myers bookS. I was not going to suggest them till Lauren 
sent a curious note.

One of our patrons is researching this history, for material for a children's 
nonfiction book. If any suggestions for materials (I have given her "Jewish 
Pirates of the Caribbean") or if you know of any children's books on the topic, 
I'd appreciate any input. She'd like any background on early Caribbean Jews 
(Jamaica, Curacao, Cuba) as well. Judy Weidman

Jaqueline Dembar Greene wrote a wonderful pair of fictional stories about this 
period for young readers:
Out of Many Waters and One Foot Ashore.

Dear safranim:

Do you like to cook?  Do you entertain and 

Re: [ha-Safran] Jewish Food Fiction

[Amalia Warshenbrot]

Lauren,.
Since you are intrigued let me give you the background:
Tamar Myers is a Jew by choice, born to a Jewish father and a Mennonites 
mother.  She wrote many YA books, but, also has a series called Pennsylvania 
Dutch mysteries with recipes. There is not much Yiddishkiet in the book and the 
recipes are not for typically Jewish food, but the narrator is an 
Amish/Mennonite who is married to a Jewish guy who has an “interesting” Jewish 
mother.  Myers knows how to make you laugh.  I take her books for long flights. 
Try the DEATH OF PIE or BUTTER SAFE THAN SORRY or BATTER OFF DEAD. 
You can tell by the titles that Myers has a great sense of humour.
ENJOY,
Amalia

Lauren.

I know of a series.  The author is Jewish the food is not. Will it work?
