The rich and varied history of the Jewish people is reflected in the glorious diversity of their food and cooking.

This definitive illustrated guide includes recipes from the many European, Middle Eastern, North African and American countries rich in Jewish heritage, in particular the Eastern European countries of Russia, Poland, the Ukraine, Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria and the East Adriatic.

Just pull off the stems, cut them up, and they are ready to add to meals for the rest of the year. Some hot peppers can even be strung up to hang in a decorative bunch for gifts.
You might want to keep some of your basil frozen, as well, and you should put a few drops of olive oil on it to keep the leaves separated as they freeze. They will be easier to pull apart when you need them. Sage can dry and be placed in a vase for your constant use during the rest of the year.
