Overview"""Shopping with Mama"" offers a nostalgic journey into the daily life of a Jewish child growing up in 1930s and 40s New York City, a time when supermarkets were absent, and food shopping was a cherished routine. Through the eyes of the protagonist, each chapter unfolds a charming tale centered around a specific store, from the appetizing store to the ice cream parlor. The black and white woodcut illustrations capture the essence of that bygone era, adding a visual dimension to the narrative. What sets this book apart is its fusion of storytelling and culinary exploration. Alongside the anecdotes, readers are treated to authentic Jewish recipes tied to the food items found in each store. The inclusion of recipes adds a hands-on, sensory experience, inviting readers to not only savor the tales but also recreate the flavors of a bygone era in their own kitchens. ""Shopping with Mama"" goes beyond a mere cookbook or memoir; it's a literary and culinary time capsule. From the charm of the candy store to the warmth of the bakery, this book encapsulates the heartwarming journey of a child navigating the diverse landscapes of New York City's food markets. It's a celebration of family, culture, and the timeless joy of sharing meals that transcend generations."
