Book Review by Norene Gilletz
If you want to be a grilling guru, check out Weber’s Big Book of Grilling. You’ll master smoke cooking, grilling safety and indirect cooking (arranging the fire on either side of the food to roast it instead of broil it). This is not a Kosher book, but many recipes can be easily adapted. You’ll be tempted by Slow-Smoked Prime Rib, Oak-Grilled Salmon and Chocolate Cake on the Grill!

Excerpted from The Canadian Jewish News, April 2001
Joan Kekst’s Passover Cookery contains an excellent collection of traditional and contemporary recipes, with many low-fat, low-cholesterol dishes, Passover substitutions, plus color photos. She offers a valuable six week countdown to Passover and explanations of its customs and symbolic foods.
Did you know that the custom of using a white tablecloth represents the desert sands the Jews wandered for 40 years? Miriam’s Cup of water recalls how the prophetess led the women to rejoice after crossing the Sea.

Melting Pot Memories, by Judy Bart Kancigor, is a collection of 600 recipes from 159 members of the Rabinowitz family. Packed with nostalgia and humour, it is the story of an immigrant family told through its stomach, from the shtetl to the suburbs.
It took Judy 3 years to compile. At a family wedding, Judy sat down with her Aunt Sally (now 92, with all her marbles) who went over all the recipes and told Judy which were worthy of publication. Some recipes were added for sentimental value only.
Here are some easy, delicious recipes for your enjoyment.
