I ♥ Kosher: Beautiful Recipes from my Kitchen

Kim Kushner is an author, culinary instructor and mother of four. Her cooking style reflects her busy, multitasking life and her cookbooks were some of the first to showcase beautiful, modern kosher cooking that is light, healthy, and international. I own dozens of kosher cookbooks (and hundreds of cookbooks in all), and one of the most unusual (and helpful) things in I ♥ Kosher is Kim’s detailed illustrated guide to kitchen tool essentials, freezer and fridge essentials, and

"Eat In My Kitchen" review

Berlin-based Meike Peters’ lifelong love of food was instilled in her by her mother and grandmothers. Rooted in German comfort food, her style has also embraced French and Italian cuisine as well as her partner’s Maltese and American traditions. Her blog (and cookbook) Eat In My Kitchen has collected hundreds of beautiful, vegetable-forward recipes that highlight seasonal ingredients, using a minimum of preparation to enhance the delicate textures and flavors of the various s

Lazy Saturday...

After being out of the kitchen for the last couple of weeks, I found myself longing for a change from yogurt and salads. I had a lovely chioggia beet that I'd brought home from Tokyo, and decided to throw together a beet and blood orange salad inspired by one I'd seen online. I added goat cheese, chopped pistachios, a drizzle of Cretan olive oil and a pinch of Maldon sea salt. As an accompaniment, I'd been wanting to make my friend Christine's roasted pepper olive tapenade to

Soframiz

I've been enamored with Turkish cuisine for as long as I can remember; I love the profusion of little plates full of olives, yogurt-based dips and spreads, oil-stewed veggies and whole grain and bean salads, not to mention the delicious pide, simit, and stuffed flatbreads. Several years ago, a fellow cookbook collector gifted me a copy of Ana Sortun's excellent Spice: Flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean, and I fell instantly and madly in love. Sortun is the executive chef be

Cooking with Loula: Greek Recipes from My Family To Yours

“Cooking with Loula” is the beautiful cookbook-slash-memoir of Alexandra Stratou, Athens native and classically trained chef, that centers on the recipes of Kyria (Mrs.) Loula, her grandmother’s cook. Kyria Loula had worked for several generations of the Stratou family, creating dishes that nourished the physical body as well as sustained family traditions and memories. I first discovered this title on NetGalley (where I’ve been a reviewer for the past couple of years); as a

New Feast (Mediterranean Living Review)

The Middle East, which includes several countries that border the Mediterranean, has a long tradition of eating vegetarian. Common Middle Eastern dishes include vibrant fresh salads, dips and breads, as well as a diversity of stuffed vegetable dishes, pilafs, and hearty entrees. Similar to Mediterranean mezze and tapas traditions, smaller dishes are often shared for guests to help themselves. This relaxed and unstructured tradition allows diners to experience a wide range of

Mediterranean Cookbook

Mediterranean food has long appealed to me for several reasons; as a light eater, I prefer the mezze / tapas tradition of grazing from several small dishes versus a large sit-down meal, the emphasis on fresh seasonal produce with simple, uncomplicated flavors to allow the fruits and veggies to shine through, and the fact that so many wonderful dips, spreads, salads, and main dishes are vegetarian-friendly. DK's "Mediterranean Cookbook" provides readers with the tools to mas

The Mediterranean Slow Cooker

I own both of Michele's The Italian Slow Cooker and The French Slow Cooker books, and they are in frequent rotation in my Hamilton Beach Premiere Cookware 5-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker for their winning combination of authentic flavors and relatively easy prep. I preordered her latest, Mediterranean Slow Cooker, and quickly bookmarked several recipes that caught my eye. In the French Slow Cooker, Michele demystified soufflés for the slow cooker. Here, you'll find a variety of egg

“What do you mean, you don’t eat no meat? That’s okay, I make lamb!” The Greek Vegetarian: More Than

“What do you mean, you don’t eat no meat? That’s okay, I make lamb!” The Greek Vegetarian: More Than

For those not in the know, my title is from “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” in which John Corbett plays Ian Miller, a vegetarian high school teacher. His fiancee Toula’s Greek family doesn’t understand the meat-free concept. Thankfully, Diane Kochilas, author of several definitive cookbooks on Greek cuisine, does. Although your first impression of Greek food might be the flaming cheese appetizer saganaki or greasy lamb or chicken gyros, many Greek recipes were meatless, particula
