Customer Reviews

Wonderful recipes but please read review if you KEEP KOSHER

I'm not the only reviewer who noticed that the Kosher standards (and definitions of what the K and P letters mean on packages) are not necessarily correct in this book - but it bears repeating in case someone keeps Kosher and can't use recipes which are inaccurate as to Kosher standards. If you don't keep Kosher, the definitions may not mean that much to you and you may be pleased to find plenty of low-fat recipes which have roots in Jewish cooking and meals - including many you can use for special holidays, with full menus. The recipes are indeed tasty, although there are times you can tell that the fat is missing. The "mouth appeal" isn't quite the same, as they say in the food business. Still, if you're watching your fat content and you are looking for traditional foods that are tasty, this book will do nicely. I LOVED the spicy Turkey burgers with Cumin, coriander and cilantro - I made it both with and without the Cilantro (we have a Cilantro hater in our family) and it was still quite good.

fabulous for that special occasion

This book of recipies actually combines wonderful flavors that you really connot find in other kosher cookbooks. The author, Faye Levy, has a remarkable way of creating delicious combinations that the ordinary person cannot. The Sephardic Stuffed Peppers and the Sweet Potato Pancakes are amazing. The Veal Chop Pipperade is also delicious. The book is great.
