THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
`Jewish Cooking Made Slim' Points to Lo-Cal Kosher Cooking
"Jewish Cooking Made
Slim," edited by Marjorie
Weiner and illustrated by
Lea Gabbay, is a compila-
tion of kosher traditional
Jewish and non-traditional
recipes made with a lower
calorie count in mind.
Published by Triad Pub-
lishing Co., the paperback
cookbook contains recipes
for appetizers, soups,
salads, breads, main dishes,
desserts and Passover me-
als.
The cookbook also gives
instructions on how to "de-
calorize" 'recipes, a brief
note about sweeteners, a
calorie chart and a list of
Jewish women's organiia-
tions who offered their
cookbooks for recipe ideas.
Calorie counts for recipes
are given per serving.

Detroit area are the fol-

As Mrs. Weiner states in
her introduction, the book is
not a diet book per se.
Rather, she informs:
"The recipes given here
are not part of any specific
weight reduction program
and, by themselves, they
will not make you lose
weight. They will, however,
help you to create a new,
lower-calorie style of cook-
ing. In other words, these

good taste and authenticity.
"Although many recipes
are not strictly 'Jewish
cuisine,' those selected are,
as in the first book, the best
recipes from Jewish cook-
books across North
America. Indeed, the 100-
plus source cookbooks con-
tain everything from egg foo
yong to sweet potato pie.
Nevertheless, it's a Jewish
cookbook in that every trad-
itional Jewish dish that I
could in good conscience de-
calorize is here and all can
be prepared in a kosher
kitchen.
"Every 'recipe in this
book was tested by me in
my own kitchen."

"The idea for 'Jewish
Cooking Made Slim' came
about while I was working
as a member of Bnai Israel
Sisterhood on the first cook-
book in this series, 'The
Chosen: Appetizers & De-
sserts.' We were creating a
book of the best appetizers
and dessert recipes we could
find and to this end solicited
recipes from cookbooks
published by Jewish or-
ganizations all over the Un-
ited States and Canada.
"Throughout the three
years of that project, we
received many letters
from cookbook chairmen

dents who were worried

residents of the Devonshire Haverim Home in South-
field decorate their sukka. Shown in the bottom

The Jewish Association
for Retarded Citizens spon-
sors seven Haverim Homes,
an apartment program and
a family assistance prog-
ram.
JARC residents were
honored with a special Suk-
kot celebration last Thurs-
day. Hosted by the Oak
Park Masonic Lodge No.
591, the party was held at
the Rabbi Solomon Gruskin
Haverim Home on Devon-
shire in Southfield. The
guests and several lodge
members decorated a
sukka, discussed the tradi-
tion of waving the lulav
and etrog, and enjoyed
lunch. Donated by the
lodge, the sukka was con-
structed by Marathon Buil-
ders, Berkley.
The community services
committee of the Oak Park
Masonic Lodge developed
the idea to sponsor the
event. A recent change of
the lodge by-laws
broadened the organiza-
tion's philanthropy to en-
compass community
charities.
In addition to the JARC
Sukkot party, the lodge
sponsored a picnic for resi-
dents of Borman Hall.
Egyptian Arrests
CAIRO (ZINS) — Egypt
has announced the arrests
of seven Palestinians,
charging them with being
saboteurs. These are the
first arrests of this type
since 1979.
Egyptian authorities say
the terrorists belong to the
Syrian-backed Abu Nidal
faction of the PLO, and be-
lieve the terrorists were
going to try to destabilize
the Hosni Mubarak gov-
ernment.
