Praise for Monday Morning Cooking Club

‘Having this book at home is pure cosy joy.’ - Nigella Lawson

Praise for The Feast Goes On

‘Collecting and saving family recipes is a vital undertaking, almost (but not quite) as important as eating. The Monday Morning Cooking Club is a remarkable excursion into the realm of comfort food. You just want to eat everything.’ - Yotam Ottolenghi

About the Author

The Monday Morning Cooking Club is comprised of three irrepressible women from Sydney’s Jewish community who share an unbridled love of cooking, storytelling and, of course, eating. We are Lisa Goldberg, Merelyn Chalmers and Natanya Eskin and our journey began back in 2006 when we came together to write a cookbook for charity.

We share a mutual obsession to uncover the most delicious recipes and through our project we collect, test, curate, share and preserve treasured recipes from the older generation for us and from our generation for the future. Our award-winning series of cookbooks are an intimate exploration into the heart of home cooking in Jewish communities across Australia and the world.
