It has been a year since renowned cookbook author, Helen Nash, launched her website, Kitchenwisehn.com, and each month she continues to post uncomplicated and nutritious kosher recipes.  For those of you new to Helen Nash or her website, you will find plenty of healthy, delicious recipes that are easy to prepare.  All of the recipes are also a good reflection of Helen’s philosophy:  Eating well on a daily basis requires good planning, portion control, and an awareness of nutrition.  She especially likes to use fresh, seasonal ingredients.

This month, Helen features recipes that are perfect to serve during the upcoming Jewish holiday, Shavuot.  But they aren’t the traditional Shavuot recipes of blintzes and cheesecakes.  Instead she highlights some of her favorite dairy dishes including a Quinoa and Kale Pancakes, Farro Risotto, and a light, gluten free Flourless Almond Cake.  These recipes also great to serve all summer long.

Check back each month for new recipes and practical information to help you cook and eat well!
