 | | Everywhere traditional Jewish food is prepared according to the rules of kashrut (the Jewish dietary laws), such as the prohibition against consuming certain animals, the adherence to specific ways of preparing the meat for consumption, the prohibition against cooking or heating food on the Sabbath, and the prohibition against mixing meat and dairy products. |
 | | There are several Jewish cuisines in the countries of the Middle East, notably in Iran and in Yemen, and the Jews of the Caucasus, Central Asia, India, and Ethiopia all have their own unique styles. |
 | | The establishment of Jewish communities in the Americas, South Africa, Far East, and Australia in modern times has resulted in the development of new variants of old Jewish foods as well as the appearance of new dishes that reflect the meeting of the Jewish immigrants with native traditions or with those introduced by non-Jewish immigrants. |
