Editorial Reviews
But for the title, a glance through this book's wide-ranging recipes would never give away that they're kosher. Kosher cooks new to the kitchen—as well as those new to keeping kosher—who want more than the standard Jewish fare will cheer at seeing the array of classy alternatives: pumpkin bisque instead of chicken soup; arepas rather than latkes; Mexican hot chocolate brownies, not halvah. And they can make everything with the confidence that it will adhere to dietary laws: Fein provides a comprehensive yet readable explanation of their principles, and all the dishes are composed to ensure they pass.

Reading, collecting and cooking from kosher cookbooks are hobbies of mine and I have been very impressed with this book. It is full of fresh ideas that represent the way modern kosher cooks would like to cook. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel!
The title of the book is misleading. These are kosher recipes that happen to be good - I don't know what hip is supposed to mean to the cook book audience.
I was amazed at how many ways Ms. Fein has figured out how to make kosher food fun! The cover caught my eye, I wasn't even looking for a new cookbook. But boy am I glad I stopped and picked it up.
I don't know where to begin, all the recipes look so fabulous!
Love the creativity and the user friendly design of the book.
Thanks so much!!
