When I lost my home and I went back to pack I could only take what was most in need and would fit in a nissian sentra with 2 people in the car so I didnt get alot. I left so many things that were inportant to me including cook books some dated back to the 40s that were handed down in the family. didnt mean to leave then but time wasnt on my side. I went 3 years with no stove or oven to cook with so I forgot most of my recipes and now I only have a couple and look for more. any recipe I will try to cook and i print them out and save all of them

On a humorous note, I am tickled by the timing of this giveaway. Just today, I blogged about “The lighter side of Kashrut.” See my post here: http://community.beliefnet.com/daphalaugh/blog/2011/07/06/a_full_degree_below_normal:_tastes_like_chicken!

Okay, I admit it. I am a cookbook addict, and my cookbook rack is already unmanageable. But . . . there is always room for one more, right? Actually, I do have a huge collection of cookbooks, but I really do use all of them. I keep kosher, but I do not have this cookbook and would love to add it to my collection. The recipes are a bit fancier than most of my others, and, since I love hosting dinner parties, I would like some new ideas to step my menus up a notch, especially for Shabbat.

I grew up in an Othodox household, with lots of Kosher dishes made by my grandmother and my mom. Since their deaths when I was in my early teens, since I was not taught how to cook them I have had fewer to almost none in the lives of my family. We lost the women in my life so close together that I had no one to teach me the right way to prepare many of the dishes. I would love to have the cookbook to bring the smell back home.

Not only do we keep a certain level of kosher (we call it “casual kosher”)in our home, but I also have celiac disease. I can not eat gluten. And my youngest son can not eat tree nuts. So any new source of food ideas which I can modify is a welcome one.

I’ve never had a kosher cookbook because I didn’t know which would be authentic. This Beliefnet site should eliminate that problem! My friends and I are RC, and there were no kosher restaurants in Little Rock (at least we didn’t know of any). We regularly went to Hot Springs to eat at the Mayflower and another restaurant whose name I can’t remember from 50 years or more ago. Anyway, I would love to learn to make cheese blintses (probably wrong spelling) in my own kitchen. And that’s one reason I’d love to win your cookbook. Another reason is that I’ve been told by different sources that the grandmother I never knew (1) was and (2) wasn’t jewish. I do plan to do a little searching about that, and whether she was or wasn’t I’m sure I will learn a lot.

In Judaism there is something very important when it comes to love and transmitting that love to your family, that is being the mom or the women in the house that cooks for the family. Why? Because through her hands and her heart, the positive energy and the blessings go to the food, and when her family eats that food, they are filled with the the love, the values, the respect for family, the traditions, and the kosher laws that are being respected.

This book, Kosher Elegance, not only is a beautiful and elegant way to keep the family together in shabbat and everyday kosher table, but a very delicious way to fill meals with fond memories.

I would treasure a copy for me and my daughters.
