5.0 out of 5 stars The best cookbook I own; fabulous, fabulous!, May 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: California Kosher: Contemporary and Traditional Jewish Cuisine (Plastic Comb)

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.

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Kosher Cookbook You'll Ever Need, April 12, 2001

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 . . .
