Divine Kosher Cuisine

Congregation Agudat Achim / New York

Americans are adventuresome eaters and cooks, the first to try something new and eager to expand their palates with ethnic foods. The big surprise with kosher recipes is their familiarity. They comprise all the many kinds of food we love to eat, including traditional American dishes, regional favorites and all the popular international and ethnic foods, among them, Jewish fare. Kosher recipes do not use pork or shellfish, or mix milk and meat products - a Jewish dietary prohibition. Non-kosher cooks can substitute with their favorite ingredients. Many of the recipes offer contemporary versions that reflect dietary trends with nondairy, vegetarian and trimmed down ingredients.

For fast reference, the 350+ recipes are organized according to courses and occasions. Whether you are cooking for a few or a crowd, celebrating a holiday or a family milestone event, Divine Kosher Cuisine anticipates your needs. It guides you in planning your menu, choosing the courses, preparing the recipes and selecting an appropriate wine.
