In Jeff Nathan's Family Suppers, the world-renowned chef and television host of New Jewish Cuisine delivers exactly what kosher home cooks everywhere have been asking for: creative recipes easy enough for the weeknight table. In the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut cookbook, Adventures in Jewish Cooking, Jeff hangs up the professional chef's coat to create a more casual kitchen go-to guide, simplifying steps in light of today's busy family schedule but never sacrificing flavor or variety. As a dad, Jeff knows all too well that family suppers require a kid-tested stamp of approval, and the recipes in this book won't disappoint. Here are more than 125 irresistible yet eminently doable creations--Jeff's signature modern American kosher fare with a global twist--that the whole family will enjoy, including favorites such as Four-Cheese Baked Ziti with Herbed Crumbs, Grilled Skirt Steak with Mint Chimichurri, Matzo-Crusted Chicken Strips with Honey-Mustard Dip, Spicy Oven Fries, and Tilapia Teriyaki with Stir-Fried Asian Vegetables. The chapters are organized into unfussy, everyday menu categories: Soups, Salads, Chicken and Turkey, Meats, Fish, Vegetable Main Courses, Pasta, Side Dishes, and Desserts. Extras include a section on stocking the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer (from essentials to "could-haves"); time-saving tools; tips for keeping an organized kitchen; and, perhaps most important, ways to involve the whole family in cooking.

This book is excellent. This book is easier than his previous cook book ("Adventures in Jewish Cooking") but the results are equally as good. We've tried the meatloaf and the Korean Barbeque thus far, and they have been really, really good to eat. Can't wait for him to write another book!
Sprusso from Katonah, NY:
Thanks for another fabulous cookbook! I bought your first one & loved trying the diverse array of recipes. Everything came out so delicious! I look forward to doing the same with your second book. I tried my first dish last night - the cornflake crusted sea bass with salsa. I have already loved cornflake crusted chicken and was pleasantly surprised it came out so yummy with the sea bass. The corn and black bean salsa was a nice compliment to the dish. I love how you blend ingredients together to give... more info
Great dinners at my house:
At the beginning of the school year, I promised myself that I would cook up some new, and delcious recipes for the kids and my husband. I picked up a few new cookbooks and started looking at the recipes printed in the newspaper for fresh ideas. I am so happy that I made that promise, because dinners at my house have been wonderful. I find that "Family Suppers" is an easy book to follow the recipes in. I have most of the ingredients in the pantry or fridge already. Not too much hassle at all! My morning... more info
