Just for fun
Our family received this book as a gift.Each one of my children enjoyed read the book like a novel.Who would think of a cookbook as kid-friendly reading material?They liked the pictures and stories interspersed within the recipes.Many of the tips presented are the kind a grandma might teach a younger child. Tips like how to get young children safely involved in the kitchen including how to teach using a knife safely.In a world where people have vastly forgotten the meaning of family, books like this fill the gap.The traditions presented are mostly Rabbinic.The items shown on the cover are included in the book.

Great recipes and ideas for the family
I bought this book a year ago and rediscovered it on the book shelf.I am so upset with myself for waiting so long to try these recipes with my kids!!!!

Today my daughter made her first challah using the recipe from this book and it turned out absolutely BEAUTIFUL!We took the advice of the author and used the third portion of dough to make some cinnamon bread for Shabbat morning breakfast but we all had to sample it when it came out of the oven.Oh yum! It is delicious.It's so good that there is a little less than half of it left for tomorrow.I had to hide it from the kids or it would all be gone!


We are also making the Friday Night Pot Roast recipe and the whole house smells so good.I use to buy a mixture in a jar for making my brisket (Bubbe's) but this tastes (I had to sample it) and smells just like the one in the jar.Well, actually it smells and tastes a little better because it's homemade. :)

One of the most enduring features of this book are the notes and memories presented before each recipe.You learn many interesting facts, history and the author's own family life.You feel like you are chatting with Joan Nathan over a cup of tea.

Each chapter has a history of the holiday and customs associated with each.Then come the wonderful recipes.

I love that the instructions are written clearly for adult AND child.Each recipe also notes where adult help is needed and what steps can be entrusted to a child.

This is a great book for making memories throughout the year.We are going to have a lot of fun eating our way through the holidays and creating memories.

Excellent compilation of recipes for the holidays!
When Bon Appetit and other prestigous publications give this one rave reviews, that's a hint that you might have a "find"...and they are right. From Sabbath to Passover, there are recipes that are delicious, generally very easy to prepare and clearly explained. Although designed for children, I think thisone would be excellent for anyone who wants to become an excellent Jewish cook. It is like having a crash course in both the essentials and some special variations.

The book is extremely attractive and there are additions which make it special, such as suggested prayers, historical info about each holiday, great illustrations, etc.

Although the vast majority of the recipes are very simple, when one is a bit more complex, there are often step-by-step illustrations. An example would be Children's Cholent, where every single part of the process is pictured, right up to putting the dish in the oven.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that many of the recipes were unique or new to me.

ANOTHER PLUS: The author suggests which parts of the recipe might be appropriate and easy for a child to handle and which should be done with supervision.

An excellent resource I use again and again.
I couldn't disagree more with the first review.With two small children, I rely heavily on this book as Jewish holidays come and go and have enjoyed many cooking experiences with my kids as a result.Furthermore, the recipes are consistently delicious!My kids and I have prepared Yemenite High Holiday Stew and Bread for Yom Kippur, Apple-Honey cupcakes, Hamantaschen, Aunt Lisl's Butter Cookies, and the ice-cream cupcake menorah featured on the cover, as well as a tender and delicious challah. There are many suggestions throughout for ways children can take part in the cooking, and often the menu suggestions accompanying each holiday have given me ideas of foods my children will actually eat.As a cook and an authority on Jewish cooking, Joan Nathan is no slouch; her contributions to the New York Times cooking section are significant and her adult-oriented cookbook "The Jewish Holiday Kitchen" is an exhaustive resource of Jewish dishes that is equally wonderful.In fact, I was reluctant to try this book because I doubted she could switch gears and write a children's cookbook that was really useable, but I contend she has done it!I can't imagine my cookbook library without this book.

A remedial recipe book- very limited CRAFTY ideas
I would not even give this book one star.I was VERY disappointed with this book.I was expecting a CRAFTY kitchen book for childen based on the pictures on the front cover.This book primarily consists of traditional recipes for the holidays but gives instructions such as child mixes this.. adult stirs that.Example of receipes include: grape juice, hallah, chicken soup, matzah balls, pot roast, peeling a pamagranet, etc.There is nothing unique or special about these recipes.If you are buying it for your children- don't. and if you are buying it for the recipes- don't.There are many other better Jewish holiday cookbooks out there to choose from. ...

Love this concept!
I have her Perfect Party Food cookbook, and thought I'd try the Happy Holidays edition.I've tried several recipes from both with great success.It's so nice to be able to spend time with your guests rather than slaving in the kitchen while they're having a good time!

Happy Holidays from the Diva of Do Ahead
Happy Holidays from the Diva of Do-Ahead: A Year of Feasts to Celebrate with Family and Friends This book is well worth the investment of your time and money. My family raved over every dish we tried for Thanksgiving and I had a more relaxed holiday. Thanks, Diane Phillips!

Kind of pedestrian
I made the entire New Year's Eve buffet, and I was a little disappointed. To me, the flavors weren't zesty enough. The pesto was delicious including the artichoke pesto, but things weren't generally my taste and seemed kind of standard and heavy. And the brie bites didn't freeze or thaw well, and they really stuck to the tin even after spraying it with Pam as instructed.

None of the food was bad, it just wasn't all that special.

I love the idea of do-ahead, so I wish that this was a menu I could use again.

My Favorite Cookbook
I made the entire Thanksgiving feast in this cookbook ahead.I decided to follow the directions in this book, and a month before Thanksgiving, I spent about 5 nights preparing dishes.It was fun, and let me tell you, it was the best Thanksgiving feast imaginable.No one knew it was all made ahead.

Now, mind you, I am noted for my cooking.I was just in a crunch for time this year, and decided to do it this way.Believe me when I say, this is the way it will be done every year from now on.

Since Thanksgiving, I have made many of the recipes in this book.I have not been disappointed with one single recipe. I have raved about this book so much to my friends, that I have since begun giving this cookbook as a gift.

If you are interested in enjoying your parties, too, then I suggest you get this book and try the tips and the recipes.

another fantastic cookbook
This is the second cookbook I have purchased by the Diva of Do Ahead.She makes me look like the most organized, imaginative cook in the world.Everything I have ever made from her books has been a hit. ... Read more

A DAY-BY-DAY GUIDE TO CELEBRATING KWANZAA THAT HONORS AND AFFIRMS AFRICAN-AMERICAN CULTURE, FOOD, AND FAMILY

Structured around the seven days of Kwanzaa and the virtues each day represents, A Kwanzaa Keepsake contains everything you need to create your own unique holiday traditions: blessings, proverbs, ceremonies, family projects, inspirational biographies of heroes and heroines of the African-Atlantic world, and a feast for each night. Each meal reflects the principle of the day:

FIRST NIGHT -- Umoja (Unity)
Multinational dishes such as Seasoned Olives from Brazil and Moroccan Mechoui-Style Leg of Lamb with Cumin, Mint, and Chile remind us of the union of all peoples of African descent.

SECOND NIGHT -- Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)
South African Sweet Potato Fritters and Senegalese Chicken Yassa are part of a menu that is composed of dishes from the Motherland.

THIRD NIGHT -- Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility)
Share Herbed Chicken Thighs, Spicy Three-Cheese Macaroni and Cheese, and Deep Dish Apple Cobbler at a potluck supper for family and friends.

FOURTH NICHT -- Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)
Pecan-Coated Roast Loin of Pork with Baked Peaches accompanied by Baked Potatoes with Spiced Yogurt is the centerpiece of a formal meal to entertain business contacts.

FIFTH NIGHT -- Nia (Purpose)
Honor your ancestors' American presence with a Roast Chicken dinner, accented by Home-Style Collard Greens with Spicy Vinegar and sweetened with Holiday Gingerbread with Molasses Whipped Cream.

SIXTH NIGHT -- Kuumba (Creativity)
An African-American healing supper opens the gates of remembrance through food. Surround your own heritage recipe for stuffed turkey or a vegetarian main dish with Pickled Black-Eyed Peas, Spicy Cranberry Chutney, and Killer Pecan Pie.

SEVENTH NIGHT -- Imani (Faith)
Usher in the New Year with North African Carrot Salad, Red Snapper Fillets in Creole Court Bouillon, and classic Southern Succotash.

With space to record your own family history, memories, and recipes, A Kwanzaa Keepsake is a book to cherish, and to turn to again and again. ... Read more

A wonderful introduction to the celebration of Kwanzaa.
Ms. Harris' book, "A Kwanzaa Keepsake: Celebrating the Holiday With New Traditions and Feasts," is excellent.I knew nothing about Kwanzaa when I picked it up but felt as though I had been thoroughlyintroduced to a marvelous seven-day series of ceremonies, feasts andcelebrations.I came away with a great deal of respect for Kwanzaa and theseven principles behind it.It is unfortunate, however, that the creatorof Kwanzaa,Maulana Karenga, felt it necessary to discriminate against allbut African Americans, for all mankind would benefit from participating inthis moving celebration.We could all stand to be affirmed and reaffirmedas members of our families, our communities and our cultures on an annualbasis. ...
