Editorial Reviews

A gastronomic tradition predating many other world cuisines, Jewish cooking focuses yearly on the observance of Passover. Most Jewish families have their own obligatory and traditional Passover dishes, but those seeking new tastes will find many kosher novelties in Kekst's Passover Cookery . From Kekst one learns that Passover dietary strictures needn't yield tasteless foods.

Liberal use of spices and herbs show up in her recipes, each clearly labeled as meat, dairy, or pareve. Numerous Sephardic dishes broaden the expected American Jewish traditions. Libraries will find Kekst's treatise useful both for Jewish patrons and for those seeking more knowledge of Jewish Passover customs and practices.
