In Kugels & Collards , Rachel Gordin Barnett and Lyssa Kligman Harvey explore the food history , traditions , and memories of Jews in South Carolina , building on their blog of the same title . The book explores the diversity of Jewish South Carolina , with stories and recipes contributed from families with Sephardic and Ashkenazi heritage who have been in the state for hundreds of years , from descendants of Holocaust survivors , and from more recent immigrants from Russia and Israel . Kugels & Collards is also a story of cultural assimilation and exchange and considers how local ingredients and techniques have become part of the South Carolina Jewish table .
