List of Jewish cuisine dishes


Below is a list of dishes found in Jewish cuisine.

Ashkenazi Jews are the Jews descended from the medieval Jewish communities of the Rhineland in the west of Germany. Ashkenazim or Ashkenazi Jews are literally referring to "German Jews." Many Ashkenazi Jews later migrated, largely eastward, forming communities in non German-speaking areas, including Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Belarus, and elsewhere between the 10th and 19th centuries. As many of these countries share similar dishes, and were occupied by the Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires until the end of World War I, the place where the dish originated is uncertain.

Lithuania

This section makes reference to the cuisine of the Jews from the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

Sephardim are a subgroup of Jews originating in the Iberian Peninsula (modern Spain and Portugal). Ladino speaking Sephardim make the bulk of the Jewish communities originated in Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece, and were also present in Morocco and Algeria.

Mizrahim is an umbrella term for the Judeo-Arabic and Judeo-Persian speaking Jewish communities from the Middle East and North Africa. It would also include several smaller congregations from elsewhere in Asia, such as India, Pakistan and the Caucasus. In modern times, they are also called Sephardi to contrast them to the European Ashkenazim culture and religious rites.

As in the case of Ashkenazi cuisine, the place of birth of each recipe is generally uncertain.
