Historical cookbooks are a fascination for me. One recent purchase I made was The Ellis Island Immigrant Cookbook by Tom Bernardin. It is divided into nationalities and has six sections of various areas of the world and each contains recipes from the perspective area. Following the chapters with recipes are sections of information on Ellis Island itself and stories of memories of the immigrants. In each recipes units are memories of the immigrants descendants of the food they ate cooked by the immigrant in their family. The recipe I chose to make from the book was very tasty. It is on page 102 and is a soup from Yugoslavia. It is called Jechmik Soup. I found it time consuming to prepare but very much worth it. For those interested in family history and how our ancestors lived upon arriving in our country this book would be very much of interest. Please click on the author's name and book title above to follow the links to more information. And enjoy the video that follows which is of the author of the cookbook giving a tour at Ellis Island.
