Reader Reviews
Sue Epstein and I have been cyber foodie friends for a few years....I was so excited Saturday to get her cookbook that I decided to spend the afternoon reading it. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Written in an easy style, Sue's ideas on entertaining and her advise on budgeting, being flexible and yet creative at the same time are simple ideas that most of us might already be aware of, yet bear repeating. The recipes are well written and in an easy to follow format. A feature I liked is the margin on each page for the cook to write her own notes, adaptations or impressions of the recipe. In some recipes, Sue has added her own little notes with a hint or tip at the bottom of the note section. Elegant dining on a budget might seem like a contradiction in terms, but Sue's many years of catering and teaching about cooking has shown her the way and she generously shares her tips with the reader. How to make your entertaining memorable without being costly; ideas on how to use leftovers for better advantage; careful menu planning ideas to take advantage of seasonal produce and products and a whole wonderful section on substitutions and equivalents. As a non-Jew, I was very interested in Chapter 5 since she simply explains the Jewish Holidays and Life Cycle Events. We have all heard the names of the different holidays, but most of us don't realize the meaning of them and Sue has also provided menus appropriate for each. There is one whole chapter on Passover and the traditional and some not so traditional recipes associated with this holiday. Several recipes captured my attention and have been marked for trying very soon, but there were two that really called to me and will be made today: Fresh Mushroom Soup (page 86) and Boursin-Style Cheese (page 123) Whether you are Jewish or not, keep a kosher kitchen or not, this is a must in your cookbook library.
