Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In a carefully prepared and often enticing collection, the author of Chinese Kosher Cooking adapts international dishes to the American palate and to kosher dietary restrictions. Veal (instead of pork) scrapple, chicken Kiev stuffed with pareve margarine seasoned with parsley and dill, and seafood-free paella are typical of recipes avoiding prohibited foods or food combinations. Cooks following kosher guidelines who want to try some new flavors will find much to enjoy in the recipes and in the discussions opening each chapter. From Europe there is cottage cheese "strudel," cream of mushroom soup and broccoli with garlic sauce. Basted herb-and-spice chicken, duck in pomegranate sauce, and nut rolls in honey syrup originate in the Middle East. Asia and the Pacific Islands contribute spicy vegetable fritters, fish marinated in lime and macadamia-nut pie, while the Americas offer fried tortillas with cheese, salmon with cream dressing and hot blueberry pudding. Illustrated.

From Library Journal

Goldberg, author of Chinese Kosher Cooking , now tackles global cuisine, and does an admirable job. In sections on Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific Islands, and the Americas, she includes international recipes for dishes not usually found in kosher cookbooks. Thoughtful and informed background information is given with each recipe, and while a few dishes seem a bit too Americanized, her kosher adaptations make good sense. Recommended. JS

This review is from: International Cooking for the Kosher Home (Paperback)

I never thought these recipes could be so good or possible in the Kosher home !
I like the detail of the countries' cultural and historical references pertaining to the dishes as well.

This book would be handy even in a non-Kosher home for all the recipes it spans over the world !

It it very well organized and easy to follow , as are her previous books.

A must in every Kosher and maybe non-Kosher kitchen.

This review is from: International Cooking for the Kosher Home (Paperback)

I love this book because it is often hard to find Kosher recipes for traditional dishes from other countries. This book has recipes from around the world and is easy to read and follow. The book includes recipes from Europe, The Middle East, Asia & the Pacific Islands, and The Americas. This cookbook also inclues adaptations, rich historical and cultural information in addition to many well known favorite recipes from each country. This is an indispensable cookbook addition to EVERY Kosher home. This is one of my favorite cookbooks! Even if I didn't want to cook Kosher, I would have this cookbook because it is such an extensive collection of recipes from around the world all in one book.
