Lovely recipes but time consuming!,
By
This review is from: Kosher by Design: Picture Perfect Food for the Holidays & Every Day (Hardcover)
This is a lovely recipe book. User friendly index. It is divided into recipes for different festivals and has a very helpfull list that shows you how to alter many of the recipes for Pesach. I bought both the Kosher by Design (green)and the Kosher by Design Entertains (pink) and I find the Kosher by Design (green)one much better and simpler. My husband loves everything I serve him that is from this book. Only bad point is that each recipe takes a very long time to make and allot of the Kosher ingredients stated are hard to find in England.

best cookbook around!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kosher by Design: Picture Perfect Food for the Holidays & Every Day (Hardcover)
I received this book as a gift. It is so beautiful that I browsed through it a couple of times before I actually picked it up to find something to cook!Of the recipes I tested and tasted: Sesame Noodles (I made it without the chicken, and it was a yummy side dish - no leftovers there!!), Lemon Bundt Cake (nice, but not "wow"), Chocolate Pecan Pie (now here's a great find - for all those pecan pie lovers out there, who think the traditional recipe is a drop too rich and sweet, here's one for you!! The chocolate adds the right touch to balance the sweetness in this recipe! Still is great with a cup of milk, but it won't leave you nauseous like regular pecan pie!), and the Challah Napkin Rings came out beautiful and tasty! I'm planning my Shavuos menu now - first on the list are the Baby Blintzes, of course! (One look at the picture and I knew I have to make it!) 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful:

Impressed by cookbook,

I was skeptical about getting this book - just because a book has great pictures in it doesn't mean that the recipes are any good. This book is different. I haven't made a recipe yet that I didn't like. It also turns out exactly as pictured in the book. (I just made the white and dark chocolate mousse dessert and it looks incredible!) My sister-in-law told me that my Sunken Apple and Honey cake looks so good it should be pictured on the cover of a magazine! I highly recommend this book.

Mediocre recipes with intensive preparation,
By Sarah Schwartz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kosher by Design: Picture Perfect Food for the Holidays & Every Day (Hardcover)
The recipes in this book are not in the least unique: there is nothing in these books not found in the standard modern cookbooks such as the New Joy of Cooking or Silver Palette. What differentiates these recipes is the superfluous use of packaged foods, such as boxed Italian dressing powder (which is basically salt and common spices), which actually makes them less friendly to the kosher cook since they may not be available supervised. Fishbein puts all her energy into the Design of the food, for instance suggesting that you buy individual pumpkins for each of your 16 sukkot guests in which to serve soup, or that you serve your Shavuot meal entirely out of flowerpots, or that you have different set of dishes for each of the holidays. These little tips do make amusing reading, but for that you can check the book out from the library.
