 Passover by Design can be used year-round! July 23, 2008
Charlene Davis (Central Florida, USA)
Let me start by saying, "I love, love, LOVE this cookbook!" The beautiful layout of the recipes are easy to follow and the numerous professional photos by John Uher look wonderfully delectable. Fishbein also offers great innovative ideas and tips for seder preparation that effectively blend contemporary trends with family traditions.
The gourmet recipes have been scrumptiously prepared and written for elegance and simplicity, while remaining kosher in accordance with Jewish law. Plus, over 130 of the recipes are gluten-free. I'm not of the Jewish faith, so the first time I used some of the recipes was during Easter, which included Cream of Sweet Potato Soup with Roasted Pecans, Cranberry Chicken, and Butterscotch Crunch Bars. Mmmm! I never knew matzo boards could taste so yummy! Since then I've also made the Oranges Stuffed with Cranberry-Cherry Relish, which would be great side dish for Thanksgiving dinner, and the Portobello Stacks with Honey-Balsamic Ketchup.
This wonderful cookbook has definitely taken a spot in the top ten of my must-have favorites and I know I will enjoy it for many, many years!

I love this book. The recipes are terrific. It's beautiful! I've lent it to others who have then ordred it for themselves. It's the new Bible for Passover recipes.
There is Mighty Fine Eating Between These Pages May 21, 2008

I am not religious, observe no conventions other than exchanging gifts at Christmas. That said, why am I writing a review of this book? For me there is only one reason for owning a cookbook and that is the recipes inside. Either they're good or they're not. You cook up a dish, if it's tasty, if your family or company like it, then you try another, then another. If you and yours get on with the recipes, then you have a winner, if not, well then you don't.
This book is a winner, but before I go into the recipes, I'd like to say that the book is elegantly done, the photographs are mouthwateringly gorgeous and the book has been laid out very professionally. You can tell Ms. Fishbein, Mr. Uher and their publishers really cared about this project.
But do the recipes pass muster? Yeah, I gotta say they do. My first outing with this book was the Meat and Potato Roll. It was easy to do, so easy that I wondered why it was in a cookbook. I made it without a hitch and it was divine. So a couple days later I decided to try something a bit more complicated and did the Portobello Stacks with Honey Balsamic Ketchup for a starter and jeepers were they ever good. This was something I never would have thought of making by myself and now it's something I'll be making for years to come. That alone makes this book a gem as far as I'm concerned.
But wait! There's more. The Caramelized Parsnip Carrot Soup is simply to die for, as are the Turmeric Matzo Balls. You know in my wildest of wildest dreams I never would have thought I'd be doing Matzo Balls, but I'm into this cookbook now and I can't get out. I suppose one of the reasons for my captivity is the photographs. One look and you're drooling. You just gotta start cooking.
In conclusion, this book passes with flying colors the only test a cookbook should have and that's the recipes inside it. Follow these recipes and you'll please not only your family and company, but yourself as well. There is mighty fine eating between these pages and I'll be using this cookbook for years to come.
Recipes for Passover and the rest of the year May 20, 2008

Passover by Design is a wonderful cookbook because the recipes can be used during Passover, and the rest of the year. Don't think that the title means that these recipes should be reserved for just Passover, but really they are very tasty dishes for all year. There are many qualities about this book that make it one that you will use time and time again.
Susie Fishbein pours much into this book. The photography is very good. Most recipes have pictures so you will know what the dish you are making is susposed to end up like. She gives you options when preparing a recipe, a particular ingredient may not be available, do not worry, she has alternatives listed if you can't find particular ingredient. She gives you serving suggestions, so you table will be attractive and appealing.
I really like the collection of recipes that she put together. I like that with using this cookbook many dishes can be prepared ahead of time. So you don't need to rush around right before the meal, but you can select a dishes that can be prepared ahead of time, and others can be prepared right before serving.
Some of the recipes that I thought were particularly outstanding were the Meat and Potato Roll, which is a meat roll stuffed with a mashed potato filling. The Cream of Sweet Potato Soup with the Roasted Pecans is an ingredible, need I say more on this one? For salads her roasted beet salad is unique and filling. She has a very nice artichoke chicken that is easy to put together, but has complex flavor.
I like that there is a lot of thought put into this book. I like that the recipes are well thought out, and have rich and complex flavors without being too fussy or too gourmet. The recipes have the right amount of panache and the right amount of familiarity that your family and guests will enjoy your dishes. I recommend this book for Passover, and honestly the rest of the year, don't let this title mean that you only pull this book out once a year, take advantage of this rich cookbook and enjoy these dishes all year long.
