Not-So-Basic Chicken Salad from Entrée to Judaism: A Culinary Exploration of the Jewish Diaspora

Entrée to Judaism by Tina Wasserman is a collection of recipes that go far beyond the typical rugelach and kugel. Understanding that the practice of Judaism varies and that those who practice adopt customs and recipes from neighboring cultures, Wasserman has rounded up recipes such as English Jaffa Cakes, Spanish tapenade, and Italian ricotta cheesecake. With over 275 recipes and dozens of full-color photos, this beautiful hardcover book makes for a perfect gift.

Instead of using chicken for the same old soup recipe, try this Not-So-Basic Chicken Salad — an ideal addition to any picnic or Independence Day celebration.

Entrée to Judaism for Families: Jewish Cooking & Kitchen Conversations with Children

Also by Wasserman, Entrée to Judaism for Families follows the pattern of Entrée to Judaism with unique recipes and vibrant pictures. This time, however, Wasserman invites children to take part in the cooking process. This set of recipes is kid-friendly while not being childish, making it perfect for families in all stages of life. Entrée to Judaism for Families also includes Tina's tips for cooking and conversations starters to keep those important conversations going in the kitchen.
