Thanks to the ever-increasing number of kosher products available to
home cooks, it's never been easier or more satisfying to prepare
delicious, wholesome, and healthful kosher meals. In this new
collection of exciting recipes, acclaimed journalist, cooking teacher,
and cookbook author Faye Levy presents a progressive, upbeat approach

Kosher foods are being used in more and more American homes, and
their abundance and diversity is increasing at an impressive rate. From
the traditional to the exotic, from extra-virgin olive oil to tasty

flavors to Indian, Levy introduces both novice and seasoned cooks to a
grand array of international ingredients. By showcasing them in such
dishes as Poached Turkey with Mushrooms, Wheat Berries, and Dill; Diced
Vegetable Salad with Pepitas and Papaya; Marseilles-Style Fish with
Saffron and Fennel; and Turkish Autumn Vegetable Casserole with
Chicken, she shows how they will add zest to any menu while maintaining
solid nutritional value.
With a focus on foods with substantial health benefits, such as
nuts, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, Levy revamps old favorites,
turning them into updated wholesome creations, including Springtime
Chicken Soup with Asparagus, Fava Beans, and Whole Wheat Matzo Balls;
Passover Haroset with Pistachios and Pomegranate Juice; Rosh Hashanah
Chicken with Dates and Almonds; and Apple Apricot Whole Wheat Noodle
Kugel. She introduces new classics to the festive Jewish kitchen, such
as Cucumber, Jicama, and Orange Salad with Black Olives; Buckwheat
Blintzes with Goat Cheese and Ratatouille; Spicy White Bean Soup with
Kale; Purim Baked Turkey Schnitzel with Sweet-Sour Onion Compote; and

yourself and your family any day of the week or preparing a holiday
feast for friends and relatives, Healthy Cooking for the Jewish Home is bound to satisfy all your culinary needs.
Variety is not only the spice of life; it's also the spice of
nourishing menus. The two hundred healthful, tasty, innovative kosher
recipes in this book are sure to add inspiration to your menus and
