Step aside, main dishes. The spotlight is on starters and sides! True, main dishes are important, but if you want meals that shine with creativity, elegance, or just plain fun - that's what side dishes and appetizers are for! And nobody can put the "wow" into sides and starters better than popular kosher food writers Leah Schapira and Victoria Dwek . All the recipes are triple-tested, unique - and made with ingredients that are readily available. Every recipe is broken down into easy-to-follow steps, and includes interesting tidbits and "Ahead" tips that help keep you organized. Starters and Sides Made Easy also features a handy Spice Guide, a "Plate It!" section showing unique serving ideas, and "Building Blocks" - essential information for preparing basic rice, potatoes, and roasted vegetables. For Shabbos and holiday meals, for entertaining, and, yes, for everyday - amaze your guests, your family, and yourself with starters and sides that make the meal.
