"Traditional Judaism injects sanctification into the ordinary habits of everyday life.Keeping kosher helps us pause and think about what we eat, and how we eat it, and elevates the act of eating."
What does it mean to keep kosher? Many may be familiar with the basics: no bacon, no shrimp, no cheeseburgers. But the Jewish dietary laws go deeper than that, and How to Keep Kosher explores the ins and outs. Why are some foods deemed kosher while others are not? Why can't you mix meat and dairy dishes? How do you turn a nonkosher kitchen into a kosher one? Do you really need multiple sets of everything — dishes, pots, pans, and utensils? How do you keep track of what's what?
Whether you are thinking about adopting a kosher lifestyle or already have a kosher home and just want tounderstand what it is all about, Lisand#235; Stern's How to Keep Kosher is essential reading. You will learn about the biblicaland historical origins of keeping kosher, the development of the kosher certification system, specific food preparation requirements for Shabbat, Passover, and otherholidays, and how to actually set up a kosher kitchen.
In straightforward language, drawing upon explanations from the Torah and Talmud, along with interviews with rabbis, academics, and laypeople who keep kosher, Lisand#235; explores all aspects of Judaism's ancient dietary traditions as they are carried out in today's kitchen, with its range of modern appliances — dishwashers, food processors, and microwave ovens. For the first time, one book explains both Conservative and Orthodox perspectives on kashrut, as well as opinions from other Jewish affiliations.
When Lisand#235; was nine, her parents decided to make the change — transform their home to a kosher one — as a core part of their evolving commitment to Judaism. Because Lisand#235; experienced the transition as a child and keeps a kosher home today, she is uniquely qualified to explain all aspects of this traditional practice.
Setting up a kosher kitchen lays the foundation for implementing the tradition; the proof is in the potato pudding. As Lisand#235; notes, the Talmud says, "Room can always be found in one's stomach for sweet things," and the wealth of information is sweetened with more than forty recipes for Shabbat dinners and lunches as well as holiday and festival celebrations.
Traditional recipes include Chicken Soup with My Mother's Ethereal Matzo Balls, Sliced Potatoand#150;Onion Kugel, and Hamantashen; new classics are Chilled Cucumberand#150; Yogurt Soup, Rosemary Sweet Potato Kugel, Enchilada Lasagna, and Chocolate-Flecked Meringues.
Stern's How to Keep Kosheris an inclusive, user-friendly handbook filled with answers to the fundamental who, what, where, when, why, and how questions surrounding the Jewish dietary laws — making these laws both accessible and appealing.

Everyday Cooking for the Jewish Home More Than 350 Delectable Recipes
Description:
Growing up in the only Jewish family living on the Shetland Islands, north of Scotland, Ethel G. Hofman learned from her mother how to incorporate local ingredients into Jewish cooking. That ingenuity laid the groundwork for Hofman's creative recipes. While their neighbors had fried herring or scones, the Hofmans ate homemade gefilte fish, mandelbrot, and strudel. In that remote locale, Hofman learned firsthand that classic Jewish cooking is essentially a riff on local cuisine, working with available ingredients to keep within the laws of kashruth. Designed not only as a reference book but also as the source for quick and simple weeknight suppers, Everyday Cooking for the Jewish Home is for cooks of all levels. With a nod to the busy modern household, Hofman doesn't hesitate to suggest convenience ingredients whenever possible. The dramatic increase in the availability of certified kosher products promises a wider range of ingredients for the cook, and Hofman's imaginative dishes ensure that your table will never lack for flavor. From salads, soups, and grains to pastries, kugels, and desserts, and including advice on how to stock a Jewish pantry, a special chapter on international Passover dishes, and a glossary of Jewish foods, holidays, and terms, Everyday Cooking for the Jewish Home is a fascinating, accessible, and comprehensive guide to bringing Jewish food into your home and to your family - not just on the holidays but every day.
