I believe this book is the result of some research being done a while
back, that was reported on in the New York Times a year or so ago. I
have a printed copy of the article around here _some_where. It is not
available via the NYT on-line archives, but most local libraries would
probably have it available one way or another. As I recall it was based
largely on recently discovered trial testimonies of people like Gentile
kitchen maids, who had, either by choice or perforce, testified against
their employers. Some of these people were convicted of being Jews
largely on the basis of their culinary habits, so there was a good deal
of fairly detailed testimony about the "odd" way the defendants made
their bread, etc.
