Book description
An inspiring collection of kosher recipes-from the simple to the
sublime-all created with the slow cooker
In Jewish Slow Cooker Recipes, the encore to her classic book,
Jewish Cooking for All Seasons, Laura Frankel, a respected
kosher chef and mother of three teenagers, shares more than 120 easy,
delicious recipes for everyday and holiday meals-all conveniently
prepared in the slow cooker-a staple of Sabbath cooking which Frankel
affectionately calls her "Shabbat miracle machine."
In this delicious collection, you'll find
- A wonderful range of dishes, from the traditional Sabbath
Cholent (a hearty beef and potato stew) and Dafina (the savory
Moroccan answer to cholent), as well as Falling-Off-the-Bone Short
Ribs, Vegetarian Chili, Spicy Chicken Meatballs, Olive Oil Poached
Halibut, Garlicky Pot Roast, Cassoulet, Maple-Pecan Bread Pudding,
and Key Lime Cheesecake
- Frankel's signature blending of flavor, convenience, and
world-spanning influences
- A tantalizing collection of mouth-watering recipes that you can
make for any meal, from appetizers and soups to main dishes,
sides, and even desserts and breakfast
Taking familiar favorites, international specialties, and holiday
classics to a whole new level, Jewish Slow Cooker Recipes is
for every home cook-kosher or not-longing for time-saving,
family-pleasing slow cooker meals using the freshest, high-quality
ingredients available in your local supermarket and food community.
Laura Frankel is the executive chef of Wolfgang
Puck's kosher restaurant and catering business at the Spertus
Institute of Jewish Studies in Chicago. After working in hotel and
restaurant kitchens, Frankel started a family and began to maintain a
kosher kitchen. Unable to find a restaurant in the Chicago area for
top-quality kosher cooking, in 1999 she opened Shallots, a restaurant
offering kosher fine dining with a produce-driven menu; later came
Shallots Bistro in Skokie, Illinois, and a Shallots outpost in
Manhattan. The Shallots restaurants were recognized as being among the
best kosher restaurants in the United States. Also the author of
Jewish Cooking for All Seasons, Frankel lives in Chicago with
her three sons. Visit her Web site at www. LaurasKosherKitchen. com.
