As the facilities and management begin to fall apart, a tempting offer to sell forces the two families together again to make a heart-wrenching decision.

But the Catskills are not what they used to be – and neither is the relationship between the Goldmans and the Weingolds. For more than sixty years, the Goldman and Weingold families – best friends and business partners – have presided over this glamorous resort which served as a second home for well-heeled guests and celebrities. In its heyday, The Golden Hotel was the crown jewel of the hotter-than-hot Catskills vacation scene. As intimate, thought-provoking, and profound as The Cooking Gene, this remarkable book teases the senses as it offers sustenance for the soul. KosherSoul also explores how food has shaped the journeys of numerous cooks, including Twitty’s own passage to and within Judaism.

Jews of Color are not outliers, Twitty contends, but significant and meaningful cultural creators in both Black and Jewish civilizations. The question that most intrigues him is not just who makes the food, but how the food makes the people. To Twitty, the creation of African-Jewish cooking is a conversation of migrations and a dialogue of diasporas offering a rich background for inventive recipes and the people who create them. Twitty considers the marriage of two of the most distinctive culinary cultures in the world today: the foods and traditions of the African Atlantic and the global Jewish diaspora.
