Summary: Not Much Explanation; Not for the Novice
Comment: I had high hopes for this book. Many Kosher cookbooks simply restate the traditional cusine; kudos to Mr. Nathan for providing new recipes.
The problem with the book is that it is not nearly detailed enough in its recipes. A good example of this is the recipe for his chocolate mousse (which is prepared by making a ganache) is hopelessly vague. When compared to the detail provided by Sherry Yard in her cookbook, Mr. Nathan's recipes are fraught with peril. How does one know when things are done? There are no temperature readings or guidelines for the unwary.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I was thrilled to learn of a cookbook which put an updated spin on Jewish cooking. Reading the 5 star reviews added to my anticipation in receiving the book. Unfortunately, the book doesn't live up to my expectations. While the book includes some interesting dishes, the recipes are time consuming and include hard-to-find ingredients. I am a working mother of two and do not have unlimited amount of time to cook.
Check out Marlene Sorosky's books. While the dishes are not as exotic, there are plenty of recipes with interesting spin that are not as time consuming. She even includes ideas for make ahead planning and shortcuts.

Summary: The Absolutely Best Jewish Cook Book
Comment: The restaurant Abigael's is wonderful and now to have a cook book by the Chef is great. I've had the opportunity to attend a cooking class given by Chef Nathan and tried the recipes from the class with complete success. The recipes in the book are easily done at home. I tried the roasted lemon-rosemary chicken and it came out exactly as pictured in the book !!! My kids, ranging in age 6 - 11 devoured the chicken, normally I need to beg them to try something new. Not this time. The Creole Chicken is the best and so easy to make !!! The recipes are klutz proof and easily reproduced in a non-gourmet kitchen. This is a worthwhile investment or terrific gift. You don't have to be kosher to love the food.
