Autor

Judith Cohen Lady Montefiore (1784-1862) was one of the most prominent Jewish women of the 19th century. A testament to her significant role within the Jewish community is her authorship of 'The Jewish Manual' published in 1846, which could be considered one of the earliest Jewish cookbooks written in English. This work not only contains recipes, but also offers a glimpse into the lifestyle and domestic customs of affluent Jewish homes in Victorian England. Her book provided culinary guidance and household management advice intertwined with cultural and religious practices aimed at maintaining Jewish identity amidst a rapidly modernizing society. Literary critics have noted that 'The Jewish Manual' reflects Lady Montefiore's commitment to the preservation and dissemination of Jewish traditions as well as her advocacy for the role of women in ensuring the spiritual and physical sustenance of their families. The manual remains a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in cultural foodways, domestic life, and the intersection of gender and religion in the Victorian era. Beyond her literary contributions, Lady Montefiore was well-regarded for her philanthropic works and her support for her husband Sir Moses Montefiore's initiatives aimed at improving the welfare of Jewish communities worldwide.
