Quick & Kosher - Recipes From The Bride Who Knew Nothing Hardcover – November 13, 2007
This is the hilarious story of Jamie Geller, a spunky young TV exec who came into marriage and kosher cooking without knowing a spatula from a saucepan. Determined to master cooking, yet pressed for time, she was dismayed to find that most cookbooks consider an hour of preparation time quick, and presumed more culinary skill than many of us have. So Jamie set out to compile her own special collection of quick and easy recipes and Quick & Kosher is the result of her quest.
This one-of-a-kind cookbook contains more than 160 recipes requiring no more than 15 minutes to prepare, 120 full-color photos, clear step-by-step instructions, reliable prep and cooking times, tips and techniques, and advice on pairing wines with various dishes. Recipes range from traditional to exotic, and are well indexed and cross-referenced.
Several special sections such as Setting up Your Kitchen, Secrets of the 15-Minute Chef and Shopping Like an Expert are the result of extensive insider interviews with food professionals who helped facilitate Jamie's path to culinary mastery. These sections offer practical answers to the questions you've always wanted to ask: how do I buy meat, fish, produce, groceries, and wine?
Is this a cookbook? An autobiography? A kitchen handbook for brides? It is all of these and more, for Quick & Kosher will amuse, inspire and teach even skilled cooks a thing or two. I wrote Quick & Kosher says Jamie Geller, because you and I are in the same boat. We want to serve up something tantalizing for dinner, but between kids, careers, and carpools, we have no time to patchka!

About the author
Jamie Geller is the only best-selling cookbook author who wants to get you out of the kitchen – not because she doesn’t love food – but because she has tons to do. As “The Bride Who Knew Nothing”
Jamie found her niche specializing in fast, fresh, family recipes. Now the "Queen of Kosher" (CBS) and the "Jewish Rachael Ray" (New York Times), she's the creative force behind JamieGeller.com and "JAMIE GELLER" magazine.
Jamie and her hubby live in Israel with their six super kids who give her plenty of reasons to get out of the kitchen - quickly. Check out her new book, JOY of KOSHER Fast, Fresh Family Recipes and her new family meal plan “Fresh Families”.

Pros (theres a lot of them)
1.Fun to read- In between recipes, Jamie tells us her hilarious cooking fiascos
2.Simple recipes- most are just mix and dump, all don't require any appliance except maybe a blender
3.Few Ingredients- Most of her recipes use typical ingredients found in most kosher pantries
4.Quick!!!- here's the biggie all her recipes take less than 15 minutes (yes folks 15 minutes on the FIRST try)
I've seen other "quick" cookbooks where prep time can be an hour!
5.Delicious recipes- With Jamie, you don't have to compromise taste for time. Her quick easy recipes taste good!
I've tried dozens of Chocolate chip cookie recipes but her's is my go to recipe. It's quick and yummy!
6.Passover section- Jamie gives simple conversions that can make a nice chunk of her cookbook kosher for passover as well! So you also get quick and kosher for Passover! 2 in 1!
7.Menu ideas- There are menu ideas for all minor and major Jewish holidays
8.Wine- There are wine suggestions with every recipe even the desserts! There is also an interview with a winery!
9.Interviews- Jamie interviews a butcher, grocer, produce and fish guy on how to get the best meat fish and produce as well as more info about the Jewish food market.
Cons
1.Desserts- with just 15 minutes, most of her desserts are more on the plain side. There aren't too many Wow! desserts.
2.Ingredients- Jamie is all about saving time and uses many processed ingredients. Some may say, "I don't need to buy a cookbook to tell me to bake my chicken with duck sauce". If that's you maybe buy a different cookbook with more elaborate recipes.
This cookbook is prefect for a new bride (I got one for my sister a bride who has no idea how to cook) or for someone who doesn't like to fuss in the kitchen.
Just like the title said, it was quick and kosher.
