Shannon Sarna

Modern Jewish Comfort Food showcases recipes and variations that have shaped Jewish cuisine from around the world―including immigration waves from Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, New York City, and beyond.

The bagel recipe in this one is amazing. Sarna gives us very good information about how the dough should look and feel along with photos. I think the process photos leave a little something to be desired though since there are leaps that you've got to already be in the know to understand, but otherwise this is a great start with traditional Jewish baking plus a little jazzing things up.
