In \u003ci\u003eKugels \u0026amp; Collards: Stories of Food, Family, and Tradition in Jewish South Carolina\u003c\/i\u003e, Rachel Gordin Barnett and Lyssa Kligman Harvey celebrate the unique and diverse food history of Jewish South Carolina. They gather stories and recipes from diverse Jewish sources--Sephardic and Ashkenazi families who have been in the state for hundreds of years, descendants of Holocaust survivors, and more recent immigrants from Russia and Israel--and explore how cherished dishes were influenced by available ingredients and complemented by African American and regional culinary traditions. These stories are a vital part of the South's \"Jewish geography\" and foodways, stretching across state lines to shape southern culture. On the southern Jewish table, many cultures are savored. Extensively illustrated with original and archival photographs, \u003ci\u003eKugels \u0026amp; Collards\u003c\/i\u003e collects includes more than eighty recipes from seventy contributors. Barnett and Harvey draw on family cookbooks and troves of personal recipes and highlight Jewish staples like kreplach dumplings and stuffed cabbage as well as adaptations of southern favorites such as peach cobbler, plus modern fusions like grits and lox casserole, and of course kugels and collards.\u003ci\u003e Kugels \u0026amp; Collards\u003c\/i\u003e invites readers into family homes, businesses, and community centers to share meals and memories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRachel Gordin Barnett\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eLyssa Kligman Harvey\u003c\/b\u003e are lifelong South Carolinians who have been instrumental in preserving Jewish history across the state.
