4.0 out of 5 stars You don't have to keep kosher to love this book!, March 4, 2006

At first I was surprised at how thin this book was given the price; however, it proved to be worth it in the end. This book is a wonderful reference for a wide variety of one-pot, slow-cooking stews. There's something for everyone here, even vegetarians. Any of these recipes can be done "the old fashioned way" in a slow oven; however, there's no reason why they couldn't be done in a slow cooker or on the stovetop instead (just use a flame diffuser to prevent burning). Even though winter is almost over, I am most certainly going to try many of the very varied dishes in this specialty cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cholent Recipes with actual measurements!, July 17, 2005

By	E. Jacobs (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this book. Finally, cholent recipes that have real amounts listed. A wide variety of types of cholent, normal and weird (see Spleen Cholent and Chocolate Cholent). My favorite so far is Red Cholent, which is a beany, barley, ketchupy type like I always attempted and failed.
