Guide Review - Kosher by Design: Short on Time, by Susie Fishbein
Susie Fishbein's cookbook, Kosher by Design: Short on Time, enables even the busiest cooks to create beautiful and scrumptious kosher meals.
Fishbein, editor of the highly popular Kosher Palette and author of the Kosher by Design series, has succeeded once again to produce a high quality and unique kosher cookbook. This book succeeds to bridge today’s desire for excellent, home-cooked, kosher meals with the busy lifestyles of those who need to invest their time to prepare them.
The book contains a wide variety of recipes that span courses, cuisines and styles. There are basic recipes such as Steamed Artichokes with Two Sauces, Fiesta Turkey Burgers and Brownie Bites. There are international dishes such as Moroccan Meat Turnovers, Gyros, and Thai Sweet Potato Soup. And there are innovative recipes such as Honey-Rum Carrots, Mulligacholent, Zaatar Chicken and No-Bake Napolean Cake.
Each recipe is accompanied by a beautiful, full-page, color photograph, helpful tips, and a table that includes Prep Time, Cook Time, Yield and Kosher Status (parve, meat, dairy).
The prep time for the recipes ranged from 5-15 minutes. Fishbein shows how the use of some ready, store-bought ingredients enables one to quickly create impressive dishes.
The "wow" aspect of the book is that Fishbein manages to cut down recipe prep times without compromising recipe quality. She opens the door for busy cooks who formerly believed they were constrained to boiling pasta. Thanks to Fishbein’s Kosher by Design: Short on Time, today’s busy cooks can prepare and serve creative, eye-pleasing and delicious home-cooked kosher meals.
