"When #DanFreidus walks into #Bookstock, Metro #Detroit’s beloved used #book and #media sale, he is not just browsing for something interesting to #read. He is hunting for history, often tucked between stained pages, spiral bindings and #recipes for #kugel, #brisket or “Aunt Rose’s #mandelbread.”
For Dan, a longtime collector with deep roots in the world of #books, #Jewish community #cookbooks are more than kitchen guides. They are records of Jewish life: where people lived, what they ate, how they adapted, what organizations they built and how communities preserved memory through #food.
As a child, Dan’s father collected books, opening a door to a world Dan might otherwise never have encountered. “I met #librarians and #bookdealers through him that I never would have met,” he explained, “so I got a peek into that world when I was pretty young.”
That early exposure eventually grew into a wide-ranging passion for books and ephemera, and, over time, cookbooks."
