The Kosher Home: Expanded Edition

Sitting in the kitchen wondering what to do with the dripping meat spoon you just stirred your coffee with? Or how to really check broccoli for bugs? Or which of the new serving dishes you received as gifts need immersion in the mikveh? Rabbi Michael Haber’s new book, The Kosher Home has the answers to these and many other questions.

The inclusive volume covers koshering appliances large and small, issues that arise in hotel rooms, meat and dairy conundrums, eating food cooked by a non-Jew, and everything in between. Intended for scholars and the uninitiated alike, it includes lengthy footnotes of halachic discussion while still managing to maintain simplicity and clarity for any level. This incredible 800-page tome, a product of painstaking years of work, is a must-have in any Jewish home.
