Yemenite Beef Soup and a Review and Giveaway of Kosher By Design Cooking Coach

November 21, 2012 by overtimecook 142 Comments

Giveaway Closed!

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about my thoughts on the new cookbook by Susie Fishbein, Kosher By Design Cooking Coach, and I am excited to finally share my thoughts on this fabulous cookbook with you. I should start by mentioning that if you aren’t a kosher cook, don’t stop reading. Susie’s ideas are amazing, and you don’t have to keep kosher to appreciate them!

At a first glance:

As is the case with all of Susie’s previous books, this is a visually beautiful book. I opened it up and marveled at the absolute wealth of information. The book promises to be more than just a list of recipes, and it certainly delivered. Each chapter starts with a “game plan” section which includes a whole ton of information on things that will be useful to the chapter. The book starts with information such as how to hold a knife, the correct way to dice an onion, and useful things to always keep in your pantry. As you get to each section, the game plan gives you information on how to plate an appetizer nicely, how to score a duck breast to sear it, information on cleaning and storing lettuce, and a pictorial guide to pretty much every cut of meat in the world. You would think that a more experienced cook wouldn’t have much to learn from this, but the information is comprehensive enough that there’s something for everyone to learn.

Some Features I Liked:

Firstly, I love the “playbook” section. The idea is simple. Rather than serve leftovers of the same dish, use a component in a creative way to create a new dish. For example, if you have leftover glaze from making Miso Glazed Eggplant, use it as a marinade for fish. Or, make extra dipping sauce when you cook up the amazing looking Grean Bean and Asparagus Fries, and dip chicken fingers into it. Cook once, eat twice…it’s something every cook can appreciate!

Next, I love Susie’s creativity. Those who own some of her previous cookbooks know what I am talking about. This isn’t “just another cookbook,” rather, it’s a book full of fabulous ideas, interesting flavor combinations, and lots of new ways to spice up your standard fare.

As mentioned above, I love the section before each chapter with full color illustrations of all the practical advice you could want when cooking. Think of it as a master cooking instructor at your side while you prepare Hot and Crispy Chicken with Mango Slaw. Less daunting with all that info there for you, is what I’m saying!

Some Recipes I Can’t Wait To Try:

Whew. This list is seriously long!

Orange Teriyaki Steak Salad: Seriously making this soon. Maybe tonight. I love asian flavors, especially in salad, and this one looks fabulous!

Cornish Hen in Port and Chocolate Sauce: How fabulous does that sound? Cornish hens are so elegant, and the sauce sounds divine. Totally making this next time I need to impress people.

Crustless Meat and Onion Pie: I think this recipe is more up my alley than anything else in the book. It’s delicious and comfort-food(ish) but it’s pretty and a beautiful presentation. And it sounds just plain dee-lish-us!

Roasted Eggplant and Tomato Bisque: I actually want to make pretty much every soup in this book (have I mentioned how I love soup??) but this one looks so hearty and comforting. Imagine having that when you come home from a long day of work on a cold winter night?

Cajun Quinoa: This was going to be the recipe I wound up posting. But then I made soup, so I have this on my to-make-very-soon list. Aside from how delicious it sounds, it’s molded into a bundt pan for a gorgeous presentation! Well, hello favorite type of cake turned healthy side dish!

And lastly…chocolate. peanut. butter. molten. cakes. Excuse me while I wipe this drool off my keyboard.

Who This Cookbook is For:

This is a great all-around cookbook for both kosher and non-kosher cooks. Anyone who enjoys cooking, enjoys new flavors, and enjoys getting creative in the kitchen would really enjoy the book.

Who This Cookbook Isn’t For:

Anyone who has a pretty limited palate, or is cooking for people with limited palates (read: kids) will find that there are a lot of unusual ingredients, which might stop you from making some of the recipes. I’m not saying you should write the book off completely, but it’s something to take into account.

Another bunch of people who might not find this book quite as useful are those with special dietary needs. For example, while some of the recipes happen to be gluten-free, there are lots of recipes that do contain glutinous ingredients. I found, when looking for a recipe to try out, that many of them have sugar, something I try to stay clear of when dieting.

What I Didn’t Like About This Cookbook:

It’s a case of both good and bad- the innovative recipes and unusual ingredients mean that there are recipes that are a little too far out of my comfort zone. Also, some of the recipes require ingredients may be hard to get, or at very least, not something you have on hand.

This is more of a personal thing, because I am trying hard to diet now, but a lot of the recipes use ingredients that aren’t very healthy. A lot of recipes have thus been bookmarked for holidays and special occasions. Again, it’s a personal thing, and this isn’t sold as a diet cookbook, so there wasn’t much of an expectation of super healthy recipes here.

Conclusion:

Any cook who enjoys cooking, wants to learn more about both technique and flavors, and is looking for creative new recipes will enjoy this book.

And now, who wants a recipe?

Let’s talk about Yemenite Beef Soup. It’s something I frequently ate at a neighborhood restaurant when growing up, so the second I saw it in this book, I knew I would be making a batch. This didn’t disappoint the childhood memories. It was even better, more delicious and richer than the soup I remember. Plus, it’s totally a meal in one pot, which is always a plus for me. Make this.

Yemenite Beef Soup

Adapted slightly from Kosher By Design Cooking Coach

Ingredients:

3 Tablespoons canola oil

1 1/2 – 2 pounds beef marrow bones

1 1/2 pounds beef stew meat cubes

1 onion, peeled and diced

6 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced thinly

2 teaspoons hawaij spice mixture (see here for more information)

1/4 cup tomato paste

3 carrots, peeled and cut in rounds

6 cups chicken or vegetable stock

2-3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut in large chunks

Instructions:

Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the marrow bones and stir to brown them. Add the beef cubes, stir, cover and cook for about 10 minutes, until the meat and bones are somewhat browned.

Uncover the pot and add the diced onions, garlic, hawaij and tomato paste. Stir to distribute evenly and cook for about 5 minutes to deepen the tomato flavor. Add the carrots and stock.

Cover the pot and simmer on a low flame for one hour.

Add the potatoes, cover the soup again and cook for an additional hour.

Discard the bones and serve hot.

Enjoy!

Hope y’all try this soup- it’s too delicious not to! Good luck with the giveaway! Oh, and happy Thanksgiving! -Miriam

    Cumin. My new obsession is cooking Indian food. I make this really good chickpea “baji”
    You start with onions (2 finely chopped) that you sauté in oil
    Then you add ginger,cumin,coriander, and garlic
    Then strain 2 cans of chickpeas and add those
    Cook for 20 min till soft.
    Its so good. Just like grandma used to make 🙂

    I am the famous (or infamous) coworker who said that I don’t like chocolate or peanut butter. However, after being lucky enough to taste many of Miriam’s baked goods (more like baked greats), I now can honestly say that I can enjoy (some) chocolatey and peanut buttery things like the fudge bars that Miriam made. (Some people were heard saying they were the greatest things that they ever put in their mouth).

    I recently discovered truffle oil. It is absolutely amazing on rice. Just a small amount provides the biggest flavor.

    I love your recipes, and all that comes along with them. I have begun using more spices in my cooking recently. Love to use cumin and tumeric. I love how easy you make it all, which really encourages me to try new things!

    I recently discovered tumeric. It smells great when cooking, makes rice turn yellow so my kids will eat it, and it fights cancer yay.

    I am so glad I read your review. I love Susie’s books, and was considering it my next big splurge. However, I get grumpy when I find the ingrediants are difficult to come by. What I hope, is that I win this book, and decide for myself. I live near a supermarket that listens when a customer speaks. I discovered Malawa. A lovely bread that comes from Ethopia and replaces puff pastry easily, with out all the schmaltz.

      The flavor of the soup is really based on the hawaij so I wouldn’t recommend skipping it. You can buy it in most kosher groceries or even online.
