Pacific Northwest deli maven Nick Zukin—co-founder of Portland, Oregon’s Kenny & Zuke’s Delicatessen, Bagelworks and Deli Bar—brings his brand of modern Jewish cuisine to the home kitchen in his new book, The Artisan Jewish Deli at Home. The book, for which Zukin partnered with Portland food writer Michael Zusman (who also developed the bread recipes used at the Kenny & Zuke’s spots), offers fresh takes on all the classics, from corned beef to cabbage rolls. This brisket recipe, which utilizes the acidity of apple cider and red wine to help tenderize the beef, is our top pick for autumn, when fresh cider and sweet butternut squash are in steady supply.
