Kosher by Design Lightens up (and) Crafting Jewish
Lisa, at Minds Alive on the Shelves, has a giveaway that's making Susan drool. Two Jewish-themed books -- but you don't need to be Jewish to appreciate either one of them.
The first book is Kosher By Design Lightens up, written by Susie Fishbein. If you've ever wondered what it means to cook kosher, keep kosher, or even more basically what IS kosher, this is the cookbook series for you! I have two in the series and the Tour Manager and I whip out the recipes in these books for any occasion. With Kosher By Design Lightens Up, you're getting some lower-fat options. And who couldn't do with a little bit less fat (Susan asks with an organic toaster pastry sticking out of her mouth!) in their diet???
Crafting Jewish sounds like the book for anyone who likes to make things. Lisa describes this book as a great craft book for anyone, even though all the crafts seem to revolve around the Jewish holidays. Including some this Jew never thought would lend well to crafts. But then, I've met two-year-olds who are better with visual arts than I am.
Explore a new culture, learn something. Maybe tear some walls down between our religions. And in the meantime, cook up a storm and craft up a new artistic vision.
You can't go wrong.
This is a US-only contest, due to shipping costs.
