I'm excited too- but.... as long as it's really new recipes with new photos- not all the old ones with small changes to make it healthier along with the old photos (like the pesach one- it was such a dissapointment)- so while I will buy it, I dont wanna get my hopes up too high...

I bought a different "light" kosher cookbook and was disappointed to find almost every recipe contain artificial sweeteners. I don't use splenda, etc. and I would love healthy recipes that aren't packed with splenda. So I won't get excited about this one until I see it...

I intensely dislike the way splenda tastes.
I was also very disappointed with the pesach one. I don't use half the ingredients on pesach. Cnaned foods & matzah meal, etc.. I barely opened it.

I would alaso never get the pesach one because we don't eat gebrokts, or much paclkaged stuff. the spice and spirit pesach cookbook is great if you have chumros.

I just clicked on the web link from Shimmysmom. It's not coming out until we've all gained at least 10lb over Yom Tov! I need it NOW!!!

Read the link. It says "145 brand new recipes, 320 pages," meaning around 150 recipes are old ones, recompiled. It also mentioned using "sweeteners" in a healthy new way.

What's this Spice and Spirit cookbook? I have never seen it (it's being mentioned on the forum very often). Does it have another name? Is it a heimisha cookbook?

Spice and Spirit is, as described, "the Betty Crocker of Kosher Cookbooks." You can probably find it at most Jewish bookstores and a number of places online.

It's from the Lubavitch Women's Org...they make a regular one (the fat purple one) & a Pesach one. Both are really good!

Thanks for the link, Shimmysmom! I'm a big fan of Susie Fishbein's cookbooks, so I'm excited! I've been telling my DH for ages that she should come out with a healthier cookbook. LOL

I'm very excited. I'm a cookbook junkie, and I love Susie Fishbein's cookbooks. ;-)

it also says 160 pictures-
so that is probably why it is so many pages

I like her cookbooks, I have 3 of them and use recipes from there

the only thing I dislike is the use of soup mix in all her soups...and some salads....

do you know if this new cookbook uses soup mix too?
