Dewey Decimal Number: 641.5676 EAN: 9780688145705 Edition: 1 ISBN: 0688145701 Label: William Morrow Cookbooks Languages: Manufacturer: William Morrow Cookbooks Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 320 Publication Date: September 03, 1997 Publisher: William Morrow Cookbooks Release Date: August 20, 1997 Studio: William Morrow Cookbooks Editorial Review: Product Description: Marlene Sorosky, America's favorite party planner and James Beard Award-winning author of Entertaining on the Run, makes the Jewish holidays come alive with simple, festive menus providing nearly 150 recipes and essential prayers and rituals that make it easy for home cooks to celebrate all year round. From Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Hanukkah to the Sabbath, Passover, and celebrations, including the Bar Mitzvah, each holiday chapter contains menus, game plans, table decorations, fascinating historical information, important prayers, and celebration ideas. Here's the must-have cookbook for the modern home cook who has little time but lots of enthusiasm for keeping up with Jewish traditions. 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:

 Rating:  - all around good holiday bookThis book is personal, warm and gets you focused well on all the holidays. It helps get into the holiday spirit. The recipes are wonderful. I am glad someone gave this to me as a gift, it's really a plus to my cookbook collection. I also like the fact that it is more than a cookbook; also an explanation of the meaning of the holidays and projects for kids. Unlike some of the reviewers, I was happy to find Sorosky's personal issues with her upbringing and how she came to terms with them. Rating: - delicious, reliable recipes, SUCH a useful bookA friend gave me a copy of this book, and it's one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. It's divided by holiday, and the introduction to each holiday also includes some basic advice on organizing the meal, cooking ahead to make things easier that day, prayers to remember, other observances to keep in mind. Then there are the recipes, which are uniformly terrific; unlike some of Joan Nathan's books, they're also well-tested. There's not a single recipe in this book that will fail you. I have cooked dishes from this book for the first time and served them for company, and no one was the wiser. By the way, most of these recipes are just as great for year-round use as for the holidays. But her hamantaschen are foolproof, and her Pesadic section is really good. Thank you, Marlene Sorosky, for a wonderful book! Rating: - Easy and quick Jewish recipesRecently I have become interested in Jewish culture and tradition, wanting to understand more facets including food. But the Jewish recipes I had were too complicated and time consuming, not to mention extremely high calorie. Then I found this cookbook. The recipes range from very simple to fairly complex, but the equipment required can be found in my kitchen, the steps are clear, and the tastes have been updated for a modern palate. Jewish customs central to the holidays are also explained clearly, with simple, effective ideas for decorations included. This is a great book. Rating: - Best High holiday recipesThe recipe for the Crowned apple cake is Awesome!! I make it every year for Rosh Hashana and everyone raves about it. This is just one the many wonderful recipes in this book. The Passover desserts are great, too.
