Excited by the trendy edge she brings to kosher meals, Chanie's followers come to her for playfully tasty recipes that introduce exciting global flavors into the kosher canon of often-Jewish-inspired dishes--such as Miso Matzo Ball Soup, slow cooker brisket seasoned with the deep flavors of Ethiopian berbere spice blend, and Brownie Bar Hamantaschen that marries brownies with the Purim cookie favorite in a simplified bar format.

Making meals for five kids nearly every day of the week is no small feat--Chanie keeps it fun, fresh, and practical. She shares her secrets here, offering gems like her top ten kitchen hacks and favorite pantry ingredients that will transform your kosher cooking, as well as meal planning advice, make-ahead tips, and crowd-pleasing semi-homemade dinner boards (Baked Potato Board Taco Board ).
