1.0 out of 5 stars Very uninspiring; nowhere near as good as other Jewish ckbks, October 28, 2000

By A Customer

I was horribly disappointed with this book. At best, it was uninspiring and very dull. I grew up loving Jewish cooking and have many Jewish cookbook.... There are many absolutely wonderful cookbooks on Jewish cooking (check Amazon)

1.0 out of 5 stars very disappointing with textbook dull writing, December 30, 2000

By A Customer

This was a big disappointment. The writing is very dull like an old, boring textbook with nothing to even describe the recipes. I don't require pictures in cookbooks (this one doesn't have any but that's okay) but do like descriptions of how things taste (eg, is this recipe here because it is quick & cheap or because it is yummy) and when to serve them (eg, is this great for a party or good for the family when you're pressed for time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every recipe is a home run, May 6, 2000

By A Customer

I've made ten or so of the recipes in the book and I've always had success. Everything turns out great. Either it's something new that just tastes really good or it's an old memory from my childhood that I didn't know how to cook. We have several cookbooks in the house. This one is the best.
