Im a newlywed, and my wife and I love this cookbook! It provides usefull recipes for food which we should eat, provided in a clear straightforward manner which is easy to follow. And all this within our kosher paramenters. Even more important, every recipe we tried we loved! I reccomend it highly to everyone! And oh yes my Bubie (jewish grandmother) loved it too!

This is a great book if you're looking for healthy, low-fat kosher recipes that are delicious but not very time-consuming to make. I highly recommend it.

"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.

In "The Secrets of Fat-Free Kosher Cooking", Deborah Bernstein, M.D. provides us with a large variety of mouth watering, lowfat recipes which essentially are quite simple to assemble. In addition, the author clearly explains all recipes while giving the reader background information and amusing stories, relating to the importance of the recipe, and which also bring balance to the wonderful illustrations. Among other timely tidbits, the reader will also learn about the laws of Kashrus. To sum up, this recipe book is an attractive, compilation of facts, and pictures, that will find a wide and appreciative audience. A very laudable effort.

I found some of the techniques employed in the recipes of this low-fat kosher cook book to be particularly helpful and time-saving. It is very informative with respect to Jewish dietary laws and the tempting-looking color photographs are an additional bonus. The results obtained were excellent so I have to say that it's my kind of cook book.

This is a great cookbook, the directions are easy to follow and the results are delicious as well as healthy. We especially love the dirty potatoes.
