Ashkenazi Food

Is it a good idea to put schmaltz or, alternately, sour cream in everything, and especially noodles? Then Ashkenazi food, the recipes of Jews from central and eastern Europe, has you covered. As well as old-country classics like farfel and kugel, Ashkenazi food includes old-new mashups like New York bagels and knishes, plus lots of surprisingly seasonal, fresh food traditions.
