Recipes You Can Count On!

This cookbook is one of my most prized possesions! I refer to it for every holiday from menu planning to recipes. I have yet to find a recipe that was not wonderful! My favorites are Brisket in Foil, and the Roast Chicken with Farfel Stuffing for Passover. The Mock Chopped Liver is unbelievable, and the Plum Chicken is a Shabbat favorite at our house. This is a fabulous addition to your Jewish Cooking library... a "must have"!

The Best Kosher Cookbook You'll Ever Need

Terrific traditional and contemporary cooking, with a lighter California twist. THIS IS THE BEST KOSHER COOKBOOK -- MAYBE THE BEST COOKBOOK OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER -- THAT YOU MIGHT EVER OWN. Every recipe works, because the people who put it together genuinely triple-tested each entry, and if it didn't get A-plusses from all three cooks, it didn't get in. I probably own 50 cookbooks, and this is one of the top three I use! Try the chocolate marble squares, the sesame chicken, the apricot noodle kugel, the gefilte fish, the chicken soup, the honey cake . . .

The best cookbook I own; fabulous, fabulous!

I borrowed my mother's copy of this book...and still haven't given it back. If you've ever wanted to know how to make the perfect Jewish chicken soup, matzoh balls, brisket, yummy chicken dishes, and the perfect kugel, this book will be your guide. Haven't figured out that perfect dish to bring to the potluck? This book's got plenty of delectable ideas! I've been frustrated with other Jewish cookbooks that offer confusing recipes with strange ingredients, but this one keeps everything simple and delicious. It's by far the cookbook I turn to most during the week and when guests come over. This book also includes a large array of kosher Chinese recipes (from sweet & sour chicken to kung pao chicken & beef). We are not kosher, but love all the recipes nonetheless.

Everything I have made was very tasty and very easy!

This is an excellent cookbook for anyone. I got mine as a wedding gift and use it more than any other cookbook. I find tehrecipes easy to make. The book is also easy to follow for keeping Kosher. They tell you what is Dairy, Meat, or Parve. Forgotten cookies are always a huge hit!

Excellent!

I bought this book as a present for a friend and ended up buying myself a copy, too. It's absolutel wonderful -- I recently made the sweet and sour cucumbers for a potluck picnic, and they were a hit!
