Starters & Sides Made Easy: Favorite Triple-Tested Recipes Paperback – August 19, 2013

great recipes that are easy to prep.

I purchased this cookbook because, as the title says, it's for starters and sides, which I'm always trying to think of...and I have to say, overall, I'm pretty disappointed in the recipes, and I've tried quite a few of them at this point. Some of the ingredients are a bit obscure, so I'm not sure what's "easy" about that, and what bothered me the most is that at least half of the recipes call for frying the ingredients. I'm not saying that one should never make fried food, but this cookbook seems to think you should fry a heck of a lot. I know it doesn't present itself as a healthy cookbook, but if I knew that every other recipe called for breading, frying, or using wonton wrappers (that you then fry), I might have stayed away. Not super impressed.

Just like the recent passover cookbook I bought, this duo put out another amazing, colorful and fun cookbook. Most cookbooks give you main dishes only. This one fills a critical niche' for a complete meal. We're loving the recipes and having fun making them. The recipes are clear and easy to make. High quality photos.....makes me hungry just looking at the pages. Every cookbook should be that way! Can't wait for the next one!

Well-done with many useful and simple ideas to provide variety to my menu. The pictures are a great help to indicate how it should look! It's my new "go to" cookbook!

Grandchildren like the simpleness of the recipes to make. They make things from the book often when visiting. Taste of item made is also great.

Great new Kosher cookbook! Great ideas!

I loved the pesach cookbook, so I didn't hesitate to try this newest book. I find the layout refreshing and really love the photographs and plating suggestions. I'm eagerly awaiting the outcome of some of the recipes that are in the oven right now.

Bought a few of these as gifts, fabulous photos and easy to follow instructions, may keep one for myself as well.
