Frankly, though the book is fun to read and has good ideas, the recipes are a little strange and include lots of ingredients that you can only get in a health food store. Her source for the bialy recipe is a book called "The Roll Basket", by Sue Gross (Kitchen Harvest Press, 3N681 Bittersweet Drive, St. Charles, Illinois 60174). I suggest you try to get that book, since the recipe I found is an adaptation with ingredients that don't seem to belong in a bialy. Even NJ, as close as it is to NY, is devoid of bialys (we won't discuss the bagels here). When we visit the folks in Brooklyn, mecca for bagel & bialy lovers, my father goes to a bialy store on Coney Island Ave. for the bialys, and then combs all the bagel places within a 1/2 mile radius of the house to get the ones fresh out of the oven. I noticed you're in California - my aunt and uncle relocated from East coast to West coast, and when anyone visits, the ONLY thing they request is bialys - last winter my sister brought them 24 DOZEN (yes, that's dozen) bialys in a separate suitcase!! So, next time someone visits from NYC, tell them to bring you a bialy!! Susan
