Popular Cookbook Author Plays to Lifestyle of Kosher Housewives

New York… by Sarah Cohen… Kosher households nowadays are likely to include two working spouses, a rushed lifestyle, and a need for quick and efficient meal ideas. Susan Fishbein, who has already authored three highly successful kosher cookbooks, wrote her newest kosher cookbook with this lifestyle in mind. Mrs. Fishbein’s Kosher by Design Short on Time, released last month, is the newest addition to the popular Kosher by Design cookbook collection. The new book includes many recipes with short preparation times and short cooking times for people who are short on time. Fishbein explained that the motivation behind the book is to accommodate those people who do not always have hours to spend in the kitchen but would like the pleasure of a home cooked meal. Each recipe in the new cookbook has a preparation time and a cook time displayed on the top left hand corner of the page. “The recipes are quick and easy, but do not compromise on presentation or flavor,” commented Fishbein. The book also describes quick and inexpensive decorative ideas. “Just because you are short on time does not mean that you need to compromise on décor and presentation,” said Fishbein.

The new cookbook also has a new look compared to the previous books. All the recipes in this book are accompanied by a picture. “The people who attend my shows explained that they were not trying the recipes that did not have pictures to accompany them,” explained Fishbein. The new cookbook does contain one section with a very long cook time: the slow cooker section. “Shabbat Observers usually use their slow cooker once a week but with these slow cooker recipes, people can use it during the week to make delicious meals with minimal hassle,” said Fishbein. Fans of the
Kosher by Design series can also look forward to the next cookbook, Kosher by Design Lightens Up, which is already underway. This new book will cater to those people who are looking to incorporate healthier eating into their diet.
