Kosher cuisine is a culinary niche that is rapidly becoming mainstream, as many home cooks outside the Jewish community, seeking more healthful and humane fare, are embracing kosher foods and Jewish dietary laws. Now, Hip Kosher provides detailed, practical resources for finding kosher items in your local stores and more than 175 recipes for every meal and occasion, showcasing contemporary American dishes rather than traditional Eastern European or Sephardic fare.
Accessible, easy-to-prepare, and versatile, the recipes are perfect for busy people who don't have hours to spend in the kitchen. Many recipes include menu suggestions, while sidebars note recipe variations, updates on classics, and helpful prep hints about ingredients and tools. Fein also describes Jewish dietary laws (and halal, permitted Muslim foods) and provides comprehensive sources.

Bravo! I tried 3 recipes at different times: Couscous with Dried Cranberries and Toasted Almonds, Tomato Salad with Toasted Bread and Feta Cheese, and Meatballs in Marinara Sauce. This book actually tempted me to go into the kitchen and try them. Not a place I generally like to be but it was quick and better still it not only worked but I receive received raves from my grandchildren. I am now going to work my way through the fish chapter for my husband and myself. Thank you Ronnie Fein
This book is a winner. The recipes are simple, modern, and focused on fresh fruits, vegetables, healthy entrees. It arrived on Wednesday and by the following Sunday, I had experimented with six different recipes ranging from terrific side dishes to salmon to dessert. All were winners and I'll make them all again. This cookbook IS hip and you don't have to be kosher to enjoy it.
I love Ronnie Fein's new book! I cook traditional kosher meals, but worry about the high fat and salt content. The recipes in this book show me how I can maintain a kosher home and still provide healthy, modern, "gourmet" meals for my family. I have tried only a few of the recipes so far (e.g. soups, salmon recipes), but plan to cook my way through the entire book.
I have used Ms. Fein's book, "Complete Idiots Guide to Cooking" since I graduated from college! A friend just got this new Kosher cookbook and although I am not Jewish, it had a bunch of recipes that I wanted to try. Much like Ms. Fein did in The Complete Idiots Guide, she gives us lots of easy-to-execute recipes. In Hip Kosher she presents jazzed-up, "current" recipes for everyday favorites like brownies: I made the Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies and they were fabulous! I am always looking for something new to do with chicken [....] and her Stir-Fried Couscous with Chicken, Dried Apricots and Pistachios was a hit with my husband and our seven-year old son. If you enjoy cooking and like to make foods that feel special enough for entertaining, but aren't too complicated for weekday family meals- you will love this book!
i just bought, about a week ago, Hip Kosher by Ronnie Fein. I have her Idiots Guide to cooking which, despite the name, is one of the best cookbooks i've ever used - simple, tasty, true to description, etc. Anyway, the book is good. It's no different than any other "regular" cookbook, i.e. not full of eastern european heavy fare but the "normal" stuff we eat. fresh fish, pea soup, cornish hen... so it's not at all what you expect from a kosher cookbook. it's different (thank goodness) anyway i need to cook for the second night of passover but we are having a casual evening for friends our age (mid 30s) and i don't want to recreate (my favrite) traditional foods from the first night at my in-laws, so i bought this, and it's what i need (and what was promised). i actually am gonna pick up 2 copies as passover gifts for my mom and mom-in-law.
My “world-view” supports this as the funniest book I have ever read. The cover...
