"Secrets Of Fat Free Kosher Cooking" is an incredibly unique cook book. It's well written and arranged. Each page includes easy to follow illustrations and prepartion directions. Whether you are an experienced cook, or just starting out you can be successful with the recipes. I like the fact that the ingredients and directions are on the same page. The book includes metric conversion tables, not to mention facts related to nutrition and healthy eating.

The book is full of traditional recipes...chicken soup, matzoh balls, guiltfree hamentaschen, latkes, kugels, cholent...and much more. On the comtemporary side I found, tex mex cholent, buffalo wings, chili, burritos, chocolate chip cookies....there is something for everyone in this book.

I showed this book to my dentist, at the time he was doing the family cooking. He asked if he could take the book home and try some of the recipes. I said sure. The follow week he told me he was ordering three books. One for himself, one for his rabbi, and for the temple library. But...could he keep my copy until his recieved his.

I also sent copies of Secrets Of Fat Free Kosher Cooking to both of my sons. My older son is a bachelor and does all his own cooking. He loves this book. Using this cook book is easy and fool proof. My favorite is "chiken with potatoes lyonnaise." Thank you Dr. Bernstein.
