When Chef Frankel opened her first restaurant in 1999 she was driven not only by her love of cooking but also by the desire to prove that kosher food can be as delicious and exciting as any other type of contemporary cuisine. The same goes in her own kitchen. When her family decided to keep kosher they gave up eating pork shellfish and the combination of meat and dairybut that didnt mean they wanted to sacrifice flavor. Frankel focused her culinary talents on creating kosher meals that are every bit as refined as their non-kosher counterpartsboth at home and at her nationally acclaimed kosher restaurants. But creating inspiring dishes at home isnt as easy without the elaborate prep that goes into a restaurant meal. Thats why Frankel turned to her slow cookera device she had been using once a week to prepare meals for Shabbat when cooking with the stove or oven is prohibited. Once she realized the slow cooker could produce creative meals all week long Frankels culinary imagination was off and running. The book is divided by course and includes sections on appetizers soups entrees sides and desserts and breakfasts. For ease of use each recipe clearly indicates seasonal ingredients and if it is a meat dairy or pareve dish.
