Description

Amira loves cholent--the special stew her family eats on Shabbat. And this year, she and Nana are competing in the big cholent competition! They use their Iraqi family's special recipe. But when people see the ingredients, they say, "This is not a cholent!" Even the judges don't know what to do. Can Amira and Nana show that their cholent is a winner?

Reviews

"This enrich-ing sto-ry intro-duces read-ers to cus-toms with which they may be unfa-mil-iar and reminds them that Jew-ish com-mu-ni-ties have always lived all over the world, each with their own spe-cial tra-di-tions, tastes, and styles." --Jewish Book Council

"In this Australia-set tale, a girl and her grandmother demonstrate that it's what comes out of the pot that matters. Delicious and guaranteed to leave readers hungry for more helpings."--Kirkus Reviews
