Guide Review - Nutritious and Delicious, by Naomi Muller
If you are interested in more nutritious kosher cooking, then Naomi Muller's Nutritious and Delicious cookbook may be helpful to you. This unique cookbook offers over 150 whole grain recipes, healthy fat recipes, sugar-free recipes, and wheat-free recipes - all of which are kosher.
The book provides recipes for Breads, Appetizers, Soups, Salads and Dressings, Vegetables and Side Dishes, Kugels, Dairy, Fish, Meat and Chicken, and Desserts. Information about stocking your pantry and healthy food substitutions are provided. Did you know that it is better to cook with sea salt because regular iodized salt generally contains dextrose? And did you know that bananas make a great natural sweetener for baked goods? The book ends with a series of photos that make one want to turn back to the recipe index and start cooking!
My favorite recipes in the book were Muller's fish recipes. Her Tuna Tacos are especially child-friendly. The Tuna Patties are a wonderful alternative to hamburgers. And everyone in my family, even the child that always says "I don't like fish", loved the taste of Muller's Batter-Fried Fish.
If you are looking for a comprehensive kosher cookbook that you can use for everything from your son's bar mitzvah brunch to Passover dinner with your in-laws, this book may not singly meet your needs. However, if you are looking for a kosher cookbook that contains nutritious dishes your children will eat for everyday, Sabbath and holiday meals, this book may make a healthy and tasty addition to your cookbook library.
