It has been a long time since I have found a cookbook as "user-friendly" and fun to work with as Mindy Ganz Ribner's Fresh from the Kitchen. We received it as a gift and it's been a family hit from the first day in our home. Although the author seems to gear the book to less experienced cooks, some of the recipes are not all that simple and it is here that Mindy really shows her stuff. The language is clear; the instructions are comfortingly explicit (including some great illustrations); and you are made to feel as if the author is standing right next to you in the kitchen, ready with both tips and encouragement. The mark of any cookbook is what ends up on the dinner table and we have yet to be disappointed. Although geared to the kosher-observing public, this book includes international dishes along with more traditional, ethnic foods. So far our favorites include: vegetable roulade with mushroom sauce, ground-beef soup, rosemary chicken, chicken livers in wine sauce, glazed corned beef, oriental baked fish, cheese blintzes, yerushalmi kugel, tabbouli salad, marinated peppers, challah and the incredible apple pie. The kids loved Brooklyn's best meat sauce, noodles a la George, vegetable tacos, muffins and two great and easy-to-make cakes, chocolate and marble, which introduced them to the joys of baking. This cookbook makes a great gift, but don't forget to put yourselves at the top of the list. As for our family, we eagerly await the next volume.
