Often referred to as "the godmother of Jewish cooking," award-winning author and food writer Joan Nathan recently released her 12th cookbook , "My Life in Recipes: Food, Family, and Memories" (Knopf). She brings her family’s history to life by recreating the recipes of her ancestors, she told Fox News Digital in an interview. She's also been inspired to create other dishes through her travels.
Each dish that Nathan prepares is tied to a memory or an adventure, she said. ‘MY MOTHER’S CHEESECAKE' RECIPE IS THE ULTIMATE NOSTALGIC DESSERT: ‘DELICIOUS BITE' For instance, she includes a recipe for Albert Einstein’s favorite dessert, strawberries mixed with whipped cream. Why? Because Nathan's father and Einstein met on a sleeper train from New York to Atlanta — and Nathan has the letter correspondences from 1947 to prove it.
