Quick & Kosher - Recipes From The Bride Who Knew Nothing

Editorial Review:

The only cookbook that wants to get you out of the kitchen!

This is the hilarious story of Jamie Geller, a spunky young TV exec who came into marriage and kosher cooking without knowing a spatula from a saucepan. Determined to master cooking, yet pressed for time, she was dismayed to find that most cookbooks consider an hour of preparation time quick, and presumed more culinary skill than many of us have. So Jamie set out to compile her own special collection of quick and easy recipes and Quick & Kosher is the result of her quest.

This one-of-a-kind cookbook contains more than 160 recipes requiring no more than 15 minutes to prepare, 120 full-color photos, clear step-by-step instructions, reliable prep and cooking times, tips and techniques, and advice on pairing wines with various dishes. Recipes range from traditional to exotic, and are well indexed and cross-referenced.

Several special sections such as Setting up Your Kitchen, Secrets of the 15-Minute Chef and Shopping Like an Expert are the result of extensive insider interviews with food professionals who helped facilitate Jamie's path to culinary mastery. These sections offer practical answers to the questions you've always wanted to ask: how do I buy meat, fish, produce, groceries, and wine?

Is this a cookbook? An autobiography? A kitchen handbook for brides? It is all of these and more, for Quick & Kosher will amuse, inspire and teach even skilled cooks a thing or two. I wrote Quick & Kosher says Jamie Geller, because you and I are in the same boat. We want to serve up something tantalizing for dinner, but between kids, careers, and carpools, we have no time to patchka!

Enthusiasm:

Once I purchased this awesome book, six other women who came to my house and perused through it ordered the book, as well.

a must for beginners:

bought this cookbook for a friend who just got married. she knew nothing about cooking and makes dinner using recipes of Quick & Kosher all the time. it's very basic, and helps make cooking self-explanatory. she loves this book and thanks me for it all the time!

Excellent Cookbook:

I don't know why people have bashed this cookbook - I absolutely love it, and I am an experienced cook! I made my entire Shabbat from this and everyone raved over the recipes. I made the Oniony Chicken, the stew with the flanken and bean soup mixes (I wasn't able to cook it the full 3 hours and it was STILL excellent!), and the Aroz con Pollo. All were excellent and exceptionally easy.
I find Jamie's humor comforting and warm and I just thoroughly enjoyed using this cookbook for the first time this... more info

Great cookbook for new and experienced cooks - simple & sumptuous recipes:

I originally bought this cookbook for a new bride who did not know how to cook. I have to admit that once I opened Quick & Kosher, I couldn't put it down! I enjoyed reading the author's stories and comments. The photographs are beautiful and inspirational. The recipes are truly quick and simple, but delicious. To date, I have purchased 10 copies of this wonderful book. I had to keep one copy for myself. The others were bought as gifts: two for new brides, two for my twenty-something sons, and the other... more info
