While this cookbook may have been published back in March, it's never too late to bring a fabulous collection of kosher, innovative recipes to your attention. At first look, The Modern Menu is exactly what it appears to be - modern. The food is laid out perfectly sleek and contemporary, without any over the top garnishes or plating. It simply speaks for itself, and I love that. Unlike traditional cookbooks, Kim Kushner brings her own style and pizzazz, arranging the cookbook by how the dishes make you feel - from vibrant and indulgent to gutsy and clever. "To my mind," says Kim, "Less is more, simple is always best, and food should look as good as it tastes and taste as good as it looks." A healthy philosophy and outlook that should be the motto of every cook in the kitchen. Browsing through the cookbook, I can't help but be inspired by Kim's clean and simple dishes that are so fresh and appealing. I find myself wanting to bookmark every single page. While Kim emphasizes healthy from-scratch ingredients, her Middle Eastern inspired recipes are possible for the novice chef with a well-stocked pantry. Her dishes remain light, but the flavors seem anything but. Kushner does not shy away from herbs and spices, adding surprising notes to every dish. I look forward to trying many of The Modern Menu Cookbook recipes including the kohlrabi cabbage salad with maple lemon dressing, crunchy curry cauliflower with tahini and pomegranate, crispy miso marinated chicken, jalapeno and tomato chutney, chicken with pumpkin, figs and honey, tequila london broil with mango chutney, black sesame crusted char, sticky beef ribs, fig and pecan biscotti, plum crumb cake with star anise and individual halvah, gelato and sorbet towers. If I could critique anything about this wonderful cookbook, it would be to say that some of the recipes require ingredients that may be hard to find. In addition, while I love Kim's concept for arranging the book's chapters, it's slightly difficult to follow the sections when they are categorized this way. -- "Busy in Brooklyn (...
