The Healthy Jewish Cookbook collects one hundred mouth-watering recipes from around the world. Full-color photographs illustrate cultural delicacies from Fava Beans in Olive Oil, to Roast Tomatoes with Garlic, to Vegetarian Cholent, Spiced Lamb Cutlets, Coconut Bread Pudding with Strawberries, and much more. The meticulous instructions touch upon the history, tradition, and health benefits of individual recipes as well as the mechanics of how to prepare them. An index allows for quick and easy references in this visual and taste-pleasing compilation.

I bought this book expecting to get a book with healthy Jewish recipes - but it is so much more than that. It includes the origins of lots of Jewish foods and recipes, and almost all of the recipes include stories/backgrounds about the dish and/or its origins. A really neat, interesting and thoughtful book that turned out to be as good of an overall read as it is a cookbook. **If you are looking for a book that takes traditional American recipes and makes them lighter, that's NOT what this book is....but it IS a very interesting book about Jewish food with great healthy recipes.

THIS COOKBOOK HAS A LOT OF PROVEN RECIPES AND TRULY MAKE YOU ANXIOUS TO COOK EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM! IT GIVES SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN LIMITED IN THEIR THINKING, TO GO OUTSIDE OF THE BOX AND GIVE NEW FOODS/IDEAS A TRY. BEING FROM THE MIDWEST AND NOT EXPOSED TO OTHER CULTURES, THIS IS A GREAT WAY FOR ME TO LEARN AND EXPERIMENT IN THE KITCHEN. MAY THE LORD BLESS YOUR EFFORTS IN YOUR TALENTS TO ACHIEVE A WONDERFUL MEALS/MEALS FOR YOUR FAMILY AND OTHERS.

I bought this, along with Hip Kosher: 175 Easy-to-Prepare Recipes for Today's Kosher Cooks,for a close friend who is beginning their conversion to Judaism from Catholicism. They asked me for support, and I said I'd give it 100%, and what better way to confirm that than with that kind of gift?
I truly loved these books when i recieved them together, and my friend loved them so much more because of what it meant to them. I am so thankful I found these books online, and at such a great price! I wouldn't have been able to get them if they weren't so cheap. than kyou so much for supplying these wonderful products, they will be treasured for a long time.

So far this is a book that I will have for a very long time. It is well written and well illustrated.

I purchased a copy at Eichlers Judaica (Boro Park), and i was amazed at this beautiful collection of pictures, and very good recipes.

Thanks for a great book..
