Worst Jewish cookbook I've ever seen! Pages are large, but most of that is white space, with faint, tiny printing. This book was clearly designed to prevent photocopying, without concern for the people who spent big bucks purchasing it.
IMHO, the author's attempts at humor fall far short of the mark. If you want a witty kosher cookbook, buy Sara Kasden's wonderful Love and Knishes, which also offers fabulous recipes. These were fair at best.
I didn't need to spend $35 on a cookbook to learn that using jarred marinara sauce would be quicker and easier than making it from scratch. That's an example of what you'll find here. There are awesome (and gorgeous) kosher cookbooks available, most right here on Amazon, and one of Susie Fishbein's is for quick, easy, and delectable. Don't waste your money on this overpriced loser! |
