What You Need To Know About Kosher Food

From Giora Shimoni, your Editor and Guide





--------------------------- EDITOR'S NOTE ----------------------------


Today is Jerusalem Day. After Obama's speech and Netanyahu's speeches, the celebration of Jerusalem Day seems especially pronounced this year in Israel. School children are wearing white shirts, radio stations are playing Jerusalem songs, television shows are focused on Jerusalem, and Israelis are planning Jerusalem visits. When it comes to kosher cooking, though, our focus needs to be on the upcoming Shavuot holiday. <br><br>Shavuot, which begins at sunset on Tuesday June 7, celebrates the harvest season in Israel and the anniversary of the giving of the Ten Commandments. While Shavuot's traditional dairy menu is an exciting change from most Jewish holiday menus, it can be challenging to prepare a festive dairy meal that isn't laden with calories, carbs and fat. This newsletter contains lite, tasty recipes for Shavuot and for whenever you want to serve a healthy dairy meal. <br><br>P.S. Don't miss "Featured Articles" below for a homemade blintz recipe, easy blintz souffle recipe, Shavuot menu for busy cooks, and more.

Spinach Tidbits

Jamie Geller, author of <a href="http://glclk.about.com/?zi=7/CmFc&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fkosherfood.about.com%2Fod%2Fkoshercookbooks%2Fgr%2Fbk_geller.htm%3Fnl%3D1">Quick and Kosher Recipes from the Bride Who Knew Nothing</a>, contributed this recipe for Spinach Tidbits. They are so tasty that even kids will gobble them up. And you can prepare and then freeze these appetizers a week in advance of Shavuot to minimize pre-holiday cooking.
