A PROJECT FOR FUND RAISING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
 
|
Eating habits have changed. The emphasis is now on wholesome meals prepared with a minimum of fuss. Americans want their meals to be healthy, and they want to be able to prepare them fast.
This is the style of the new "Jewish Cooking" as well, and the time is right for sharing recipes and cooking tips that today’s family can—and will—actually use.
Of course, your grandmother’s schmaltzy chopped liver recipe is also welcome. After all, we need to have such comfort foods available when we feel the need to (you should excuse the expression) pig out.

We need YOU to make this project a success.
In addition to soliciting recipes, we need help in a number of other areas: proofreading copy, contacting advertisers, and organizing pages are but a few ways you can assist.
Most tasks can be done at home and on your own schedule.

Send Us Your Recipes!
Whether you’re a seasoned chef or have trouble boiling water, we’re sure you have some recipes and cooking tips that would interest people. Remember that those looking through our cookbook will have varied cooking skills, too.
Turn family and friends into recipe collectors. Request the one for that delicious soup that your cousin served, or your neighbor’s special barbecue sauce.
Not sure what makes a recipe kosher? Check out our
simple guidelines.
Recipes should be complete and include:
|
•
|
The name of the person submitting the recipe.
|
|
•
|
The name of your dish.
|
|
•
|
The number of servings.
|
|
•
|
A list of all ingredients and the quantities for each.
|
|
•
|
Detailed preparation and cooking instructions.
|
|
•
|
If appropriate, a personal note about the dish, such as "My kids like helping me make this" or "My Aunt Esther always made this for Purim."
|
Ideally, recipes should be e-mailed to our cookbook editor,
Froma Bessel.
If that isn’t possible, typed or clearly handwritten recipes can be mailed to or dropped off at the CTI office.

Advertising That Pays Off
Do you have a business or service you would like to advertise?
Do you patronize a local merchant who might benefit from the exposure an ad in our cookbook would afford?
Unlike advertising in a bulletin that gets thrown out after a week or so, ads in a publication such as this get kept and referred to for years.
Our advertising costs are modest, and include a number of valuable "extras":
|
•
|
Integrated ad placement. Your ad will be placed within the book content instead of being buried in the back where no one ever looks.
|
|
•
|
Advertisers get a free "sponsor" listing on our web site with a link to your own site if you have one.
|
|
•
|
Free design of your ad if needed.
|
|
•
|
Free design of coupons.
|
|
•
|
One copy of the book free of charge.

What Makes A Recipe Kosher?
A kosher recipe is, simply, any one that can be prepared and served in a kosher home.
Even if you don’t follow the rules of kashruth (Jewish dietary law) strictly in your home, you surely prepare many dishes that can be classified as being kosher.
For purposes of our cookbook, here are a few basics:
Prepared foods (canned, pre-packaged, etc.) must be available in a brand that carries a
hekschser,
a symbol denoting that its manufacture was supervised by an organization that attest to foods’ kosherness.
Fresh fruit and vegetables do not require a hekschser.
Meat must come from a kosher animal, one who has cloven hooves and chews a cud. Some cuts of meat, notably those from the rear of the animal, are not kosher although substitute cuts can usually be found. Don’t even think about pork.
Poultry is fine.
Fish must have scales and fins and not have a shell. Shellfish and scavenger fish (e.g. catfish) are out.
Do not use both meat and dairy products in the same recipe.
If you still have questions,
Reb Irwin is ready to answer them.
