Beautiful but Simple: The Young and Fresh Kosher Kitchen with Kim Kushner
PRLog - Sep. 12, 2014 - NEW YORK -- Featured on the Today Show, Oprah.com, and the Huffington Post, just to name a few, Best of Kosher 2013 Winner Kim Kushner is a celebrated chef who makes Kosher cooking fun, simple, and beautiful. And simple is ideal when the fall season brings with it a flurry of activity both inside and outside the home. The Jewish High Holidays are busy and the time for reflection can be drowned out by the pressing needs of family, children, and preparation.
Growing up, Kim spent summers in Israel amidst the fresh and robust tastes of Mediterranean cuisine. Her recipes reflect that upbringing and offer a vibrant range of flavors, perfect for the varied tastes of any family.
Kim’s highly sought-after cooking classes and workshops have been selling out in New York City for the last five years. She’s been a guest at some of the most prestigious culinary events from New York to Israel and her demos and lectures across the country are standing room only.
Kim’s contemporary take on the Kosher kitchen, The Modern Menu (Gefen Publishing), is a must-have companion not only for a Kosher home, but for any cook looking for a fresh perspective. Offering a variety of taste and texture combinations, Kim encourages the at-home chef to be adventurous in creating menus for any kind of occasion — whether it’s an intimate dinner for two or a large family gathering.
“It’s not about creating the so-called ‘perfect’ dish,” Kim emphasizes, “it’s about creating an atmosphere amidst the frenzy and fun of friends and family.”
Eggplant Napoleons with spinach, zucchini, sundried tomatoes and herb oil strike the perfect fall-flavor notes; or maybe individual halva, gelato, and sorbet towers will strike the fancy of the younger (and older!) crowd at a family gathering. Kim believes that it’s about the creativity and passion you put into your dishes.
“Food is often the gateway to gathering and socializing. The actual ‘perfect’ dish is one made with care and with affection for those partaking of it — the one that creates an intimate moment in a sea of people, the one that forges a friendship. That’s what cooking and creating is about.”
