Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Fishbein, editor of the highly popular and successful Kosher Palette, has produced a cookbook focusing on elegant kosher cuisine that is easy to produce by the modern at-home cook. She precedes each section with a description of a festival and its customs, and includes a suggested menu and kosher wine list. Interspersed with vibrant color photographs, the recipes make full use of the growing range of kosher ingredients available, and she has no compunction in saving time and effort by using store-bought sauces in some dishes, such as Tarragon Chicken. Traditional recipes also appear, but are usually given a new twist-the visually pleasing Tri-color Gefilte Fish once again utilizes a store-bought item but enhances both it and the conventional presentation by layering to make a terrine. Useful tips are added where needed, and Fishbein indicates when a recipe is parve (neutral) or dairy. She also offers a comprehensive Passover section that includes a chart of all the recipes that can be used for this festival, with its additional dietary requirements, as well as the steps needed to adapt many others. With kosher cookbooks becoming more sophisticated, Fishbein has produced a volume that straddles that delicate line between modern and traditional and between refined cuisine and everyday ease.

My first bought Jewish cookbook,
By Sid (Richmond Hill, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kosher By Design (Hardcover)
This book is great for someone who wants to kick up to notches on your daily meals. I used scalloped potato recipe for the first time for Rosh Hashanah this year, and it turned out to be great. Everyone really enjoyed and I'm buying a copy for a gift.Another one that I tried was asparagus with pecan but it wasn't a hit as the potato..
3.0 out of 5 stars
Some criticism allowed?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kosher By Design (Hardcover)
Am I the only critical owner of this book? The pictures and layout are indeed stunning, but I found when I tried to produce the recipes many were overly sweet (chocolate pecan pie) or rich, and contained many very fattening additive rich ingredients.

Impressed by cookbook,

I was skeptical about getting this book - just because a book has great pictures in it doesn't mean that the recipes are any good. This book is different. I haven't made a recipe yet that I didn't like. It also turns out exactly as pictured in the book. (I just made the white and dark chocolate mousse dessert and it looks incredible!) My sister-in-law told me that my Sunken Apple and Honey cake looks so good it should be pictured on the cover of a magazine! I highly recommend this book.
