Did I get your attention? Ladies, I need your help! My relationship with my kitchen has become stale and the fire needs to be rekindled ASAP! You know when you get into a cooking routine where your family loves certain recipes and so do your Shabbat guests, so you start playing it safe? At which point, you know how to whip the recipes up by heart, and whoever helps you in the kitchen does too, so you just do them by rote – because who wants to “waste” time experimenting? Sounds kind of awful, but yeah, I am so so terribly bored of my kitchen!!!

I have plenty of good recipes, don’t get me wrong, but I’m just bored of them! (Yes to all of you who keep asking me for my pareve cheesecake and my chocolate chip cookies and my three different chollent recipes, now you know why I keep telling you that they are coming and they don’t show up here… I just make them without any inspiration whatsoever and have lost any excitement to photograph them and publish them… boo to me!) I haven’t purchased new cookbooks in a while and I think maybe if I make a few additions to my collection, I might be able to regain my inspiration. Tell me that I’m not the only one guilty of having a stale relationship with my kitchen, please!!!

So I was searching online for the latest kosher cookbooks out there and while I can go by the reviews, the problem is that they all have 5 stars on Amazon style= (well it’s not really a problem). So, I figured I’d ask you guys, if you have any favorites, good experiences with any of the newer cookbooks, or any other recommendations to share…? So let’s hear it, please! My family and I will thank you!

This is just the round up that I gathered up, but I’m open to any other suggestions …

    I hear you! I get so bored of cooking too. Bubbe and Me looks really practical, which I like, but I have yet to review it fully. Although it is not super new, I love Balaboosta. It definitely added some new family favorites. I don’t know if the whole thing is kosher, but most of it is.

    Yael de JLP no es solo mi gran amiga sino que es una host maravillosa, con la voz más dulce y hace las preguntas más asertivas. Te hace sentir en casa estando tan lejos y en un micrófono. Yael es el perfecto ejemplo de mujer mamá judia trabajadora que lo puede todo! Y todo lo que hace lo hace perfecto.

  • Michelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear FacerMichelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear Facer

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.
