Taste of Shabbos, the Complete Cookbook

Rating:
Summary: This is a lovely cookbook
Review: This is the first cookbook I used after I got married. It is concise and not overwhelming. It helped me to plan complete Sabbath meal menus (it even has recipes for Melaveh Malkeh--the traditional after-Sabbath meal). The recipes are easy, classic and foolproof. For traditional Jewish cuisine, many of the recipes offered are relatively healthy, with a variety of vegetarian side dishes and a section on all whole wheat flour desserts. In addition, on the margins of each page are inspiring vignettes to read as you cook.

I highly recommend trying Shabbat in a Pot and Pot-Roasted Chicken with Olives (pages 38-39).
