Cookbook Committee

The Windsor Jewish Community Centre is putting together a cookbook! We have been around for over 100 years and have been united, supporting each other and Israel right up until the present. Needless to say, one of the ways we have stayed together is through food! There is an old saying that nearly every Jew in Windsor knows: “They attacked us, we won, let's eat.” One of the ways we want our fabulous legacy to live on is through our recipes, our stories, and our sense of community. The Windsor Jewish Community is heading for a great new future, but we want to bring the fond memories of the past generations with us. We need your help to make this happen.

For those of you who have already submitted your wonderful recipes, thank you, but we still need more! When submitting, please include the recipe name, ingredients, directions, any additional information you have (yield, oven temperature, preparation of equipment, cooling time, serving suggestions, ease of preparation, adapting the recipe, etc.). Include a picture or two if you happen to have some.
