Alice Urbach is the ‘Julia Child’ of Austria. When Hitler takes over, she flees, leaving everything behind, including the rights to her bestselling cookbook. Then the Nazis slap a German name on it. Decades after the War and Alice’s death, her granddaughters fight to restore her long-lost culinary legacy. Along with Alice Urbach’s Cooking the Viennese Way!, the Library of the Leo Baeck Institute in New York has dozens of cookbooks by Jewish authors from the 19th and 20th centuries. Over 100 family collections in the archives include handwritten recipe books going back to the 18th century. You can access them at www.lbi.org/urbach.
