There's no better way to describe the 300 dishes in this scrumptious cookbook lovingly assembled by the parent-teacher body of Maimonides Academy in Los Angeles. From the Grilled Chicken Salad with Apricots to the Asian Fish Steaks, from the Challah Souffl� to the Hazelnut Brot Cookies, each carefully-tested recipe reflects the long history of Jewish cooking that extends from Europe to Brooklyn to Los Angeles. Chock full of holiday menu ideas and cooking tips, and enhanced by stunning full-color photos, reinforces the philosophy that we nurture our spirituality every time we sit down to a meal, indeed, that eating kosher is a diet for the soul. Printed on coated stock, with a durable spiral binding for easy opening.
