Author Description

"Zillah Bahar, the Israeli-born (but all-American) food columnist for the San Francisco Examiner, achieves what health-conscious lovers of kosher Jewish food have been waiting for: authentic, flavorful, and strictly kosher favorites - potato latkes, New York-style cheesecake, matzah balls, and melt-in-your-mouth challah-that taste like bubbie's but contain virtually no fat, no cholesterol, and no sodium! It's true. (Look for the nutritional analysis at the conclusion of each of the thirty-two recipes to see for yourself.)"--BOOK JACKET. "The spirit of kosher is alive and well, as a celebratory foreword by Rabbi Joel Landau makes abundantly clear. Naturally, the recipes in Kosher Light are divided into separate milchig (dairy) and fleishig (meat) sections - each offering side dishes, main courses, and desserts for the Jewish holidays and every day. As an added treat, Bahar garnishes the recipes with tasty side bars recounting Jewish folktales, traditions, and food facts."--BOOK JACKET.
