When Hip Kosher first crossed my path, I looked at it and thought, "Well, that's one I can skip, because I don't keep kosher." But I picked it up anyway and started to flip through. In the introduction, a few of the author's words caught my eye. She says, "You don't have to Jewish to eat or cook kosher food." I realized she was correct and so kept reading. I'm really glad I did, because this is a really nice cookbook, with lots of terrific recipes for all cooks. One of the things I find appealing about this book is that it contains a good blend of vegetarian and omnivorous recipes. It would be a terrific book to have in your arsenal if some members of your family don't eat meat, while a few still do. You can flip between a protein and fiber rich dish like the Quinoa Salad with Beans, Corn and Peppers and Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Tomatoes and Honey.
There is nothing dated or sacrificial about this book. It contains a whole bunch of herb-infused, well-spiced modern dishes that would please just about any cook out there.
