Izzy's Traditional Jewish Recipes

Izzy originally from Poland, is an amazing person who spent from age 18 to 24 in German concentration camps doing slave labor, including Auschwitz. Never having had more then a 7th grade education he was liberated in 1945 with nothing more then the clothes he was given, yet he stayed in Germany and became a millionaire there while still in his thirties. In 1964 he came to the US and continued doing business here. Now at 85 he is retired doing the snowbird thing and doing his favorite thing, cooking. Everybody who has tasted his food raves about it, and everyone who knows him thinks he is a real character.
Just for a taste here are his Potato Latkes
available at www.simonsezproduction.com and Ebay
This is a 2 volumes, 2 discs DVD of Auschwitz survivor Izzy cooking up a storm in his kitchen. Watch him make Gefilte Fish, Chicken Soup, Lockschen Kugel, Potato Kugel, Potato Latkes, Horse Raddish, Brisket & Veal, Chicken Dish, Matze Brei and Butter Crumb Cake. Everything you need for the holidays. I've eaten this food and words can't describe it. Don't buy gefilte fish out of a jar make it from scratch, and you've never had chicken soup like this before. No wonder Izzy has so much energy at 85. He's quite a character and fun to watch. This is truly food from the good old days and you can watch it being made. How easy is that to follow?

Now more recipes added: Izzy's Cookies and Baking Dough, Apple Cake, Goulash, and Cucumber Salad. (The Goulash is my favorite) and really simple to make.

6:01 'brent'(he actually says "bren") means 'burns' in yiddish/german so u got what he meant to say.

the funny thing is he's really ok with mixing yiddish words in every other language he speaks, just like my grandfather.

another example 1:14 "you don't have to do MIT('with') the HENT('hands').

also notice he pronounces his final G's like K's("makink", "doink" etc) just like in yiddish/german.

@Belson20 I thought he was saying, "Olive oil don't burn." For frying you need a fat which won't smoke or burn at a high temperature.
