"The Kosher Baker is a fascinating look into the world of Jewish baking. While an incredible resource for those who eat kosher, it's equally compelling for anyone interested in a tempting array of sweets and breads, from fast-and-easy to elegant party fare. Two thumbs up!"--P.J. Hamel, author, The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion

"A huge array of recipes for every taste, occasion, and dietary need. Bravo to Paula."--Joan Nathan, New York Times food writer and author of award-winning cookbooks

"A must-have for your kosher culinary library. Paula mixes great flavor combinations with great taste. You'll want to bake your way through the pages."

--Susie Fishbein, author of Kosher by Design

"Paula Shoyer is a baker after my own heart. She takes you around her deceptively simple and luscious world of desserts, and busts the old myths that desserts take forever to make, or that they can't be good unless they have butter or cream in them. Paula understands perfectly that less is more, from short and sensible list of ingredients to streamlined instructions, pure extracts and flavors, and elegant and spare presentations. In short, her recipes are ideally suited for the home cook!"--Levana Kirschenbaum, author of Levana's Table: Kosher Cooking for Everyone

"The Kosher Baker offers a wonderful range of recipes that will delight both new and experienced bakers. The book contains over 160 recipes, all of which are pareve (dairy-free), making them good options to serve after any kind of meal. . . . This book is a wonderful addition for the cookbook shelf for all community, public and synagogue libraries."

-- "American Jewish Libraries"

"Delectably delicious desserts (all pareve!) Plus: It's enhanced with gorgeous photos and a pleasing design."

-- "Chicago Jewish Star"

"It's a terrific cookbook and the cinnamon bun recipe was a winner, and not too difficult to make."
-- "A Kitchen in Brooklyn"

"Outstanding . . . a can't-miss collection of classics."
-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"

"Paula Shoyer, author of The Kosher Baker, has developed quick, elegant desserts that are ready for the oven in 15 minutes and demand no fancy techniques."

-- "Jerusalem Post"

"The book is an essential addition to the library of any pastry chef or home cook who want or needs to bake delicious (and moist) Kosher desserts."
-- "Dessert Professional"

"What's especially good about the cookbook is that it's great for anyone who no longer consumes dairy but wants to bake and continue enjoying delicious baked goods. And with 25 eggless recipes, vegans can rejoice, too."

-- "Epicurious.com"
