Summary: At Long Last! Levana's Recipes in a Beautiful Book
Comment: What a pleasure to have Levana's recipes bound in such a beautiful book! My husband and I have taken many of Levana's cooking classes in New York City - me for the recipes and techniques, my husband because he knew he would get a good dinner - and my recipe collection was all a hodgepodge. Plus, the book has the added bonus of Levana's practiced advice on entertaining - some of which she gave in class, but not all - I only wish I could have read it before I started entertaining - it would have saved me from a lot of mistakes. Plus, there are charming stories about Levana's mother, her husband Maurice and her children - including her daughter who, Levana says, usually prefers to eat cold cereal! I just de-accessioned most of my large library of cookbooks, but this one is a keeper. Note - You will need a food processor. I never bought one until Levana demonstrated how easy it is to use - now I have 2 (one for Passover). I asked Levana if she keeps her food processor parve like I do. "I have 3 food processors!" she said. This book is a perfect gift for all brides. I just gave mine away to my best friend for her birthday and have to buy two more today - one for a bride. Another hint while I have your attention - those Le Creuset spatulas and spoons in blue, red, and green that can take heat up to 650 degrees (I think that's the number) are perfect for the Kosher kitchen. Levana uses them, and now I do too! I love the big color photos that show how the dish is supposed to look - why don't all cookbooks have them? My only quibble is you have to squint to see Levana - her photo is about 1 inch square square! - it does not show her vivacious warmth as big as it is. I think it is inspiring to see her up to her elbows in bread dough while smiling and talking a mile a minute, so why not show her doing some of the more difficult stuff?

Summary: Kosher gourmet cooking
Comment: We actually bought this book by chance, as it was the first kosher cookbook we had ever actually seen in a bookshop here in town. And what a pleasant surprise!
The charming layout can perhaps best be compared to Joyce Esersky Goldstein's great books, e.g. Cucina Ebraica: Flavors of the Italian Jewish Kitchen, but while Mrs. Goldstein serves down-to-earth Mediterranean food in a wonderful way, Mrs. Kirschenbaum's recipes seem heavenly inspired.
The recipes are a proof that kosher can be for gourmets as well.
Additionally, so far I have not found any detail not corresponding to Kashrut, while other kosher cookbooks are sometimes a bit careless in this respect.

Summary: Levana's Table: Kosher Cooking for Everyone
Comment: Levana's Table has in a very short time become one of the most treasured books in my kosher cookbook library. I value this book because of its clearly presented recipes with easily accessible ingredients; its contemporary slant on traditional kosher cooking; and the exquisite photographs which accompany many of the recipes. Levana's helpful guidelines and tips are clearly set out by the recipes and contain information that even an experienced cook will find valuable. Levana was born in Morocco and spent time in France, and so some of her recipes reflect a Mediterranean point of view. You will be richly rewarded by purchasing this cookbook, either for yourself or as a gift.
