EAN: 9780688145705 Edition: 1 ISBN: 0688145701 Item Dimensions: Label: William Morrow Cookbooks Languages: Manufacturer: William Morrow Cookbooks Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 220 Publication Date: August 20, 1997 Publisher: William Morrow Cookbooks Release Date: August 20, 1997 Studio: William Morrow Cookbooks Editorial Review: Product Description: In "Fast Festive Meals for the Jewish Holidays," author Marlene Sorosky takes away all the guesswork and provides the fundamentals for celebrating every Jewish holiday: An explanation of why celebrate the holiday; a list of all the essential religious items and foods you will need and, where appropriate, the primary blessings to be recited; a complete menu with kosher recipes full of flavor that keep preparation time to a minimum; and a Game Plan that clearly lays out all possibilities for advance preparation and gives you a what-to-do-now party countdown. Marlene covers all the holidays, as well as Shabbat and the celebrations of life's passages - brit milah, or baby naming, and bar or bat mitzvah. The recipes are a wonderful mix of the traditional, like haroset and how to roast an egg (for Passover), with new, lighter, easier twists on the traditional. In addition to recipes, Marlene's menus include ideas for memorable invitations and centerpieces (attach your invitation to a grager, or noisemaker, for a Purim masquerade gala; make a breadstick sukkah for the table at Sukkot); projects for the children (make an Elijah cup for Passover, a challah cover for Shabbat, or plant seeds to celebrate Tu B'Shevat, the New Year of the Trees), and interesting facts about the holidays. Amazon.com Review: There's more than just recipes here: in addition to great menus for every Jewish holiday, Sorosky includes a short history of the occasion, the appropriate blessings, decorations and centerpieces, and essential religious items and foods--in short, everything you need to know and have to make your holiday meal a success. What's more, she provides a game plan for organizing your time in the kitchen and getting everything on the table at the right time and temperature. As an added bonus, Sorosky includes "Extra Points": special projects for children, invitation ideas, or special decorations to lift your celebration above the ordinary. In her foreword, Marlene Sorosky admits that her upbringing in a tyranically Orthodox household spoiled Jewish holidays for her until she was well into adulthood. While writing this book, however, she discovered the joyous spirit of both the holidays and Judaism--apparent in every page of Fast and Festive Meals for the Jewish Holidays. Related Items:
