Gourmet Jewish Cook Cookbook by Judy Zeidler

Additional Details

Description: With nearly  600 recipes, this innovative collection is proof of the fact that kosher cooking can be world class. As fans of her cable television show and her syndicated cooking columns know, Judy Zeidler's food is a revelation for all those in search of impeccable recipes that adhere to Jewish traditions and satisfy the most demanding tastes. Her long-awaited cookbook offers an appealing mix of much-loved traditional foods and sophisticated international fare. 

There are menus for every holiday and occasion, from every part of the world -- from a Passover seder to a July Fourth picnic; from a Chinese New Year banquet to a Scandinavian brunch; from a Moroccan couscous feast to a classic Thanksgiving dinner. 

New twists on old favorites -- California-style brisket, low-cholesterol hamantaschen, potato pancakes a la frangaise, Concord grape wine ice, whitefish with zucchini sauce and cucumber "pasta" -- make for unexpected gastronomic delights. Even cuisines you never dreamed you could make in a kosher kitchen come to life in these pages. 

The largest section of the book celebrates the Jewish holidays throughout the year -- from Rosh Hashanah through Shavuoth, and includes recipes and ideas for reviving the old traditions that help keep the holidays and the Sabbath special. Extra sections on ingredients, terms, and techniques, on selecting the right wine, and on organizing the perfect party make entertaining easy. The Gourmet Jewish Cook is beautifully illustrated by noted artist Peter Shire.
