“Food Maven” Arthur Schwartz, longtime food editor and restaurant critic for the New York Daily News and, for 13 years, the host of WOR radio’s Food Talk, has a new book coming out called Jewish Home Cooking: Yiddish Recipes Revisted. This Sunday at the Y, he’ll be giving a special visual presentation from his personal collection and here’s what he has in store:

Besides showing off some of photographer Ben Fink’s glamour shots—that’s actually what they call them in publishing, “glamour shots”—of beloved Eastern European delicacies, all from “Arthur Schwartz’s Jewish Home Cooking,” I have, from my personal collections, photos of old kosher haunts and new Jewish shopping streets, and menus and postcards from famous, old-time restaurants and delis. Most are special to this lecture, not in the book; you shouldn’t think you’re being charged twice to look at the same pictures. It should go without saying that I have plenty of stories to go with the visuals.

But the proof is in the potato kugel, right? Well, here’s his recipe for that too from the 92nd Street Y Jewish Cookbook.
