Böcker av Lenny Rosenberg

Bea's Bakery has been a much-loved fixture of California life for almost sixty years, providing comfort and nourishment to thousands in what was once a rich tradition of Jewish bakeries in America. Originally opened in 1968 by Sol Litwak and his son Jules, it was named after Sol’s wife Beatrice, known affectionately as “Bea,” and run by the father and son for over fifty years.In 2023, Jules decided it was time to pass the family business on to the next generation. He had many offers but knew that selling it to dynamic husband and wife Lenny Rosenberg and Adaeze Nwanonyiri, was bashert—a Yiddish word for something that’s meant to be.When Lenny, the son of a Hungarian baker who’d survived the Holocaust, married Adaeze, a Nigerian designer from a noble African tribe, it was a marriage made in heaven. As hosts of It’s a Sweet World for Jewish Life Television, they also knew the power of food to bring people together and allow them to be transported back to the traditional tastes and aromas of their childhood, while bringing them up to date with healthy options that cater to all.This, their first book, is a joyous celebration of the best recipes from Bea’s, including Jewish and Nigerian signature dishes, along with scores of tasty treats from around the globe that will appeal to people of all nations and creeds. If you love to bake—and enjoy discovering new favorites as well as timeless old standards—you’ll find yourself making the recipes again and again to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.
