The Vilna Vegetarian Cookbook

Fania Lewando published this book in Yiddish in pre-war Vilna, and it was nearly lost entirely, which makes the fact that it exists in translation now feel like something close to a miracle. The cooking is inventive and genuinely ahead of its time, and the history behind it gives every recipe an extra weight.
