Customer Reviews

Extremely useful book for health conscious kosher cooks.

I have used recipes from this book since 1983, when friends gave me a copy. Alhtough there is still a lot of smaltz (rendered chicken fat) in the recipes, one can easily substitute olive oil. Jane's easy going style of "sneak in the nutrition" is especially encouraging when getting your family to eat healthy, kosher food. Some of my all time favorite recipes are from this book. I also recommend reading her "Sneaky Organic Cook.." book, as it will help those in transition from white challahs to find alternatives for their families.
