Summary

• "For kosher bakers, this book is nothing short of a revolution! It offers a thoroughly modern approach to Jewish holiday baking that includes both contemporary and traditional recipes, more than 45 of which have been skillfully adapted for Passover. This comprehensive collection of delicious, fail-proof baked goods is an absolute must-have. Even less-observant Jews will enjoy celebrating the holidays with these innovative and delectable desserts, including an exquisite Raspberry and Rose Macaron Cake-plus dozens of low-sugar, gluten-free, and nut-free treats to enjoy all year. "--
• "Even if you are not a kosher baker, the whole family will love this collection of recipes. Here you'll find the most decadent sticky buns, brownies, puddings, cookies, pies, tarts, doughnuts, candies, cobblers, and chocolate cakes you'll ever put in your mouth, along with more ambitious fare that will inspire even casual bakers to try Paula's exquisite Raspberry and Rose Macaron Cake or her Salted Caramel Banana Tart Tatin. There is something for everyone in the book, including nut-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and low-sugar treats. For kosher bakers, this book is nothing short of a revolution. Passover baking is the greatest annual challenge in the Jewish kitchen--because dessert recipes cannot use flour, yeast, soymilk, or even pure vanilla--but The Holiday Kosher Baker changes all that with more than 45 Passover recipes that put a contemporary, gourmet twist on classic Jewish desserts and introduces bakers to desserts they may not have considered for a particular holiday, such as Pumpkin Doughnuts for Chanukah, Caramelized Mocha & Vanilla Bean Napoleons for Shavuot, and for Passover: Lemon Tart with Basil Nut Crust and Black and White Cookies (no more sponge cake!)"--
