Cooking With Dolly

I got an early Christmas present that is also a Hanukkah present from my beautiful friend, and our very own, Dolly Aizenman, from Kool Kosher Kitchen at https://koolkosherkitchen.wordpress.com/. Dolly sent me her new cookbook by the same name, “Kool Kosher Kitchen – Collection of Recipes“.

Just like any good book, and yes, that most definitely includes cookbooks, I can’t wait to delve into it and try all of Dolly’s delicious traditional family recipes. 🙂 Mine will not be exactly like hers for a few reasons. My kitchen is not a Kosher kitchen for one, and then I don’t have her knowledge and expertise for another, but I will do my best, and hopefully make Dolly proud none the less. 🙂 The only thing that would make this beautiful, thoughtful gift better would be to actually get a chance to cook these recipes with Dolly, and to learn from the pro herself. I am looking forward to the day when we can actually make this happen.

Kool Kosher Kitchen – Collection of Recipes closely follows Dolly’s blog of the same name. The book is filled with Dolly’s family’s delicious and traditional recipes, and lots of stories and background for each and every recipe. I just received the book yesterday, and haven’t really had a chance to delve into it yet, since we had plans last night. But I have already picked out quite a few dishes that I am looking forward to making and reading about though, even in just a very short time. 🙂

One of my absolute favorite things about our wonderful WordPress family, is just that. I feel even though many of us have never actually met in person, we do get to know each other, and become friends; some of whom even become very dear friends. Dolly is definitely someone I consider to be a dear friend, whose friendship and support I value. We here on WordPress have our own little “family unit” that is quite special and unique.

Thank you Dolly, my beautiful friend. Thank you for your beautiful book, but YOU are truly the gift that I treasure.

The Holidays are a special time of year. To me, they bring us all together and make us realize it is the friendships and relationships in our lives that are the most important things. Let us ring in this Holiday season by wishing everyone good cheer and glad tidings. Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
