Izzy’s Traditional Jewish Recipes
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
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.

I love these things
And I love latkes.. I make it with many clotted cream and garlic. Try it 
And it was goodto read, that gulash is your favourite, but believe me, it’s simply not jewish. Even if everybody cooks it here, ‘couse it’s Hungary’s vary traditional food.
The CHEF is kind of cute
When will you tell us how to make “Czolent”?
yep! my mom still refuses a food processor, hand grater only!
thanks for this video. Kol HaKavod, beautiful man.
You mix it
I place my latkes on a cooling rack set over a shallow wide pan with the paper towels underneath to let any excess oil drip off. I really liked Izzy’s recipe! Next time I’ll make them using his proportions. Thanks so much for the video!
I bet they are tasty as hell, but they would be less greasy if he didn’t crowd the pan so much.
One at a time is the way to go.
reibekuchen….. hmmmm… lecker…aber es muss noch apfelmus dabei sein
to be honest i am too lazy to make them… i depend on my mother 
A Roma se chiama bujacca!
i have to go make them they look great!
The real thing thanks for this G.d Bless
Those latkes are the real deal & are pretty much the same latkes of my childhood; the latkes my late bubby used to make & my mom now makes & the ones I too make every Hannukah. People should take note of his recipe because no embellishments are required. Topped with some sour cream (& sometimes apple sauce) & these babies are over the top.
yumm looks good
wait, who’s latkes were those kids eating at the end? hopefully not Izzy’s.
That’s how I did when I was little, but as I got older I switched to the chives…
There are many ways to eat these my preference is apple sauce and a little sugar sprinkled right on the latke. Mmmmm
there is some feelings in these pancakes . nice recipe i us chives , and yolks no white, garnish with chopped green onion or chives.
Actually, my grandfather was from a small town called Bokowsko, Poland near Sanok. He too was sent to a concentration camp and escaped the nazis. i have meals similar to this one every week. Thank you for posting this.
It tastes yummy with applesauce. You´ll need a lot of oil to fry them. Otherwise they did´nt taste that good.
Good video but the description is more then a little pompus and kind of cheesy.
Looks yummy I’m going to try making them!
