It’s a new era for Jewish home bakers. Kosher baking ingredients have evolved and kosher food in general has become more gourmet. Now, Paula Shoyer offers a thoroughly modern approach to Jewish holiday baking that includes both contemporary and traditional recipes, more than 45 of which have been skillfully tailored for Passover. Shoyer has organized The Holiday Kosher Baker into sections for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (foods to eat at the break-fast, after Yom Kippur concludes), Sukkot, Chanukah, Purim, Passover, and Shavuot. Each holiday chapter contains easy, one-bowl recipes, as well as those that are fancier and involve multiple steps. This arrangement will help you find elegant desserts for evening and Shabbat/holiday dinners as well as the quick recipes you’ll need as snacks for your family and entertaining. Shoyer presents traditional desserts to remind us of our grandmothers, but she has given her recipes a distinctively modern twist. Along with new versions of sponge cakes, blintzes, babkas, challahs, and rugelach, you’ll find a chic Raspberry and Rose Macaron Cake, a Salted Caramel Banana Tart Tatin, and an unusual take on upside-down apple cake. Recipes for low-sugar, gluten free, vegan, and nut-free treats are also included—something for everyone in the Jewish community. This is a must-have kosher baking cookbook for the holidays—and one that you’ll enjoy using throughout the year.
