You don't have to keep kosher to love this book!, Mar 4 2006
By Threemoons "threemoons" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Come for Cholent: The Jewish Stew Cookbook (Paperback)
At first I was surprised at how thin this book was given the price; however, it proved to be worth it in the end. This book is a wonderful reference for a wide variety of one-pot, slow-cooking stews. There's something for everyone here, even vegetarians. Any of these recipes can be done "the old fashioned way" in a slow oven; however, there's no reason why they couldn't be done in a slow cooker or on the stovetop instead (just use a flame diffuser to prevent burning). Even though winter is almost over, I am most certainly going to try many of the very varied dishes in this specialty cookbook.

Great Cholent Recipes with actual measurements!, July 16 2005

I love this book. Finally, cholent recipes that have real amounts listed. A wide variety of types of cholent, normal and weird (see Spleen Cholent and Chocolate Cholent). My favorite so far is Red Cholent, which is a beany, barley, ketchupy type like I always attempted and failed.
