Fress: Bold, Fresh Flavours from a Jewish Kitchen

Fress (Yiddish): 'to eat copiously and without restraint'

Emma Spitzer's style of cooking is unfussy and uncomplicated, extracting the maximum flavour from the humblest of ingredients without spending hours in the kitchen. Her melting pot of inspiration embraces Poland and Russia, Jewish recipes learned from her mother, travels in Israel, Egypt, Jordan and North Africa, as well as Algerian recipes shared by her mother-in-law.

From Slow-cooked Moroccan Chutney to Duck with Black Za'atar & Puy Lentils, Baharat Spiced Chicken to Apricot & Orange Blossom Frangipane, these recipes are packed with punchy flavours and delicous spices. Family recipes are included too, from Grandpa 'Bugga's' Turkey Schnitzel and Aunty Rochele's Cabbage Salad to Mummy's Golden Chicken Soup. Big on flavour and spice, this is happy, sociable food to feed the soul.
