Synopsis

Helen Nash's first two cookbooks, Kosher Cuisine and Helen Nash’s Kosher Kitchen, are classics of the art of kosher cooking.

Reviewing her first publication in The New York Times, cookbook guru Craig Claiborne praised Nash for food that is "seamlessly kosher and endlessly inventive."

Helen Nash’s New Kosher Cuisine represents the best and most health-conscious addition to the art of kosher cooking. Using ingredients that have only recently become available, Nash’s latest work contains many new and imaginative fusion recipes that are as modern as they are delicious. But her signature dishes, based on traditional Eastern European cuisine, are still very much in evidence. A delicious mixture of old and new, homey and contemporary, this book shatters the myth that Jewish food is all gefilte fish and chopped liver!

"Helen Nash's New Kosher Cuisine" "Not a traditional Jewish cookbook but a sophisticated contemporary book of kosher recipes that are easy, quick, light, fat-free, and nutritious."
- "The New York Times"
"Helen Nash's passion for cooking--and for easy-to-follow techniques--shines through her new book. By incorporating exotic ingredients like wasabi powder and panko into kosher cuisine, Nash has created recipes that are deeply respectful of tradition, but at the same time exciting, sophisticated and modern."
--Jean-Georges Vongerichen, award-winning chef, author and restaurateur
"Helen Nash is a legendary cook, and her new collection of recipes is extraordinary. Her easy, elegant cooking methods for boneless chicken breast and fish particularly caught my eye and palate. And a few recipes have already become part of my daily repertoire. She's also given me some new soup ideas - and I wrote a best-selling soup cookbook! Ingredients that were not part of the kosher pantry when she penned her first and very famous books - for example, extra-virgin olive oil and Parmesan cheese, to name a few - are now readily available with kosher certification. This is simply an innovative and exceptional book, full of fresh food ideas for everyone, kosher or not."
--Arthur Schwartz, author of "Arthur Schwartz's Jewish Home Cooking: Yiddish Recipes Revisited"
"The recipes in "Helen Nash's New Kosher Cuisine" are elegant, simple and healthy, with practical hints and suggestions to help avoid pitfalls. It is an indispensable cookbook for gracious, modern entertaining--whether you are kosher or not."
--Joan Hamburg, Host of WOR Radio's "The Joan Hamburg Show"
"Helen Nash has written a wonderful cookbook. Its easy-to-read and easy-to-follow recipes combine classic and modern ingredients. It is a must for anyone who loves food and likes to cook."
--Sylvia Weinstock, Author of "Sylvia Weinstock's Sensational Cakes" and owner of Sylvia Weinst
