Title: Love the "make ahead" options!
Review: One of the hardest things about Shabbat is being able to get a great meal together on what can be the busiest day of the week - Friday. It doesn't help that many of us are spent from a grueling workweek and then school or extra-curricular obligations with our kids. My absolute favorite part of this recipe book is it gives you make ahead options. It spells out how many days in advance you can make it while keeping the flavor and texture yet avoiding spoilage. The recipes themselves are delicious. Many use similar ingredients, which makes it easier to try recipes that you normally wouldn't. They even offer pairing suggestions to make a complete meal. This is a must have!

Title: You'll Want This
Review: As I try in vain to parse down my physical cookbook collection it also continues to grow thanks to new and wonderful cookbooks like this one. While it's fair and accurate to say that all of the recipes sound delicious it's also true that the book is much more than just recipes. It's a book to sit with and actually read and learn from - about Jewish culture worldwide, Jewish history, and the entire Jewish culinary arena. These are recipes for the times in which we live. With African and Middle East influences integrated in many original recipes, this is a cookbook that could really only be written now, in these times. I'm so pleased that Ms. Kramer spent years developing the recipes and compiling them all into this lovely book. Everyone who enjoys cooking should delight in the arrival of "52 Shabbats".

Title: Great gift for young adults
Review: My 22 year old son and his girlfriend live in Chicago and regularly host Shabbat dinners. My son does the cooking. I bought this for them as an early Hanukkah gift and they love it.

Title: Better than any other Jewish Cookbook
Review: The cookbook is not only beautiful, but full of creative and delicious recipes that are not your typical recipes found in other Jewish cookbooks. Faith has traveled the world learning about how spices and other ingredients flavor Jewish meals in other countries, using this knowledge to create her recipes. Then she has organized the books into full Shabbat menus with suggested starters, main course, side dish, bread, and dessert that go with each recipe. I also find it helpful that the main course recipes are organized by season, with page reference to the other courses suggested to serve. This book is inspiring for those of us who love to cook new and creative meals.

Title: This cookbook is perfect for new and experienced cooks
Review: 52 Shabbats: Friday Night Dinners Inspired by a Global Jewish Kitchen is filled with exciting recipes for new and experienced cooks. Some recipes are classics; others are fun twists, and all have vibrant flavors. I want to try pomegranate molasses brisket, and then brisket fried rice, Friday night tamales, sweet & sour fish, mushroom & cheese strudels, za'atar roast turkey, Bundt cake with black & white glazes, Faith's challah recipe and more.Faith has poured years of cooking and Jewish experience into this cookbook. It's rich with explanations of the holidays, traditions, ingredients, and recipe tips. Faith’s recipes are reliable, complete, and easy to follow. I know I’ll use this book for many years.

Title: Worth it for the brisket recipe
Review: The Pomegranate Molasses Brisket recipe is excellent and this will now be my go to brisket recipe. The brisket was tender and the pomegranate molasses gave the sauce a unique and delicious flavor. I like that each recipe offers menu serving suggestions for a whole Shabbat meal. I looking forward to making Brisket Fried Rice, Mushroom and Cheese Strudel, Middle Eastern Grilled Corn, and Falafel Pizza with Feta and Herbs. My only complaint is that the dessert section is small with only ten desserts and none are particularly memorable, including a fruit juice sorbet and one-pan banana bread. This book is great for me as someone who is trying to learn more about Jewish cuisine and traditions.

Title: A great selection of special family meals
Review: In a traditional Jewish household, Friday night dinner usually is a big deal. It's the beginning of the Sabbath (Shabbat, in Hebrew), which I was taught to treat as special. In whatever spiritual path you follow, it's a nice practice to reserve one day of the week for mindfulness and to celebrate the happy-ordinary moments... or at least it was in my family when I was growing up.This cookbook collects a year's worth of Shabbat dinners. You don't have to be Jewish to appreciate them, though. A Shabbat dinner is more than "weeknight cooking," but less than "fancy dinner party." You could think of these recipes as "what to make for a family member's birthday" or "impress the mother-in-law" or "a good friend is coming over and you want to make them smile." They can be as simple or elaborate as you like.These are aren't traditional Jewish foods. Sure, you can find a brisket, several roast chicken recipes, and gefilte fish. They certainly are informed by "the usual suspects," and all the recipes are kosher.But the offerings extend to Sephardic and Mediterranean recipes (eggplant overflowing with lamb, for instance) and more exotic fusion cuisine (fruit and vegetable rice paper salad rolls; lemongrass and ginger barbecued flanken; roast salmon with citrus-honey sauce). There's plenty of vegetarian options, as well, such as "Berbere lentils and cauliflower" and "peppers stuffed with white beans, bulgur, chard, and tomatoes."The cookbook is divided by seasons, and there are some commentary sections (such as a page of history about "The Jews of Yemen"). Main dishes have a "make it Shabbat" text box to offer a full menu suggestion. Most recipes have advice for cooking in advance, because you may not have time to start from scratch after work on Friday. For example, "chicken and vegetable tagine" (which the author says can be made up to three days in advance) suggests serving it with an appetizer of fish in spicy h'raimi-style tomato sauce, a green salad with North African dressing, Challah pull-apart rolls, and raisin and almost twirls for dessert. Or you could just dump it on top of couscous and call it supper.This would be a lovely gift... if only for yourself.
