Are you looking for a special gift for someone who loves to cook – but doesn’t love to spend all day in the kitchen? I’ve got the perfect idea for you: CHIC Made Simple, the newest cookbook by Ami Magazine food editor, Esther Deutsch.
Esther has a theory: If your food looks irresistible, it will taste incredible, too. Her recipes are designed to look — and taste– like gourmet cuisine. Yet the recipes are so easy, they take just minutes.
CHIC Made Simple features delectable, no-fuss cuisine that is made to order for all cooks: simple enough for the novice, fast enough for the busy cook, and impressive enough for the most accomplished.
Her beautiful and delicious recipes are perfect for your Shabbat or yomtov table – or anytime you want to treat your family to a special dinner (without hours of fussing in the kitchen first.)
Here’s one of my favorite CHIC Made Simple recipes. I’m a huge fan of teriyaki salmon, plus how pretty are those stripes?!
Striped Teriyaki Salmon
1 large (36 oz.) salmon fillet
2 Tbsp. teriyaki sauce
¼ cup soy sauce
½ cup Dijon mustard
½ cup honey
1 lemon, juiced
5 cloves garlic, minced
Black and white sesame seeds
Place the salmon in an oversized, sealable plastic bag. Combine the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, mustard, honey, lemon juice, and garlic and pour over the salmon. Turn the salmon to coat. Refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle the salmon with the black and white sesame seeds in diagonal stripes, alternating with the black and white seeds. Use the dull side of a large knife to help keep the lines even.
Bake for 50 minutes for a large fillet or 35–40 minutes for individual slices. Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm or at room temperature.
Serves 6.

I would of course keep this cookbook to add to my very selective collection. I LOVE to cook and am always trying out new recipes to keep my family interested in eating “growing” food.
Myself! I am always looking for new things to feed my family, and food that looks nice always goes over better with my kids.
Just subscribed to the newsletter, and am a fan on facebook.
My son is BH engaged and his kallah loves cookbooks so even though some of the other daughters and daughters-in-law love cookbooks, I would give it to my daughter-in-law to be.
I’ll give it to my mom because she loves to cook!

I have to say I would keep this book. I love cookbooks and inviting family and friends to try out new recipes. I also would like to learn to make my food look gorgeous!

LOVE YOU!
If I win this cookbook, I will be so happy I could burst! I’ve only been keeping strictly kosher (as opposed to vegetarian) for about 2 years, and I sometimes feel that it cramps my foodie style. I’d be keeping this book for myself so I can have new, beautiful recipes to try on my Shabbos guests!
I would love to have a copy for myself as I am always looking for new recipes for my kids to try!
I would for sure keep it for myself. I love to cook and love to make stuff that not only taste good but looks pretty too.
I would gladly keep and use this cookbook ecause i make all of the food that we eat.
Signed up for email subscription!!!
I would peruse it first, then possibly give it to my SIL who does fabulous hostessing, and of course I’d borrow it back sometimes 🙂
Looks gorgeous.
I have been a suscriber to your newsletter for quite a while. Thank you for your tips. Love to save money.
I have liked you on Face Book several months ago.
B”H, I subscribe by email to KOAB. Love it!
I’m would totally keep it for myself, as I am trying to convince some people in my household that appealing looking food is almost as important as good tasting food. But I would share it with my sister.
I get the newsletter.
I am a Facebook follower.
I would give is cookbook to my Rabbis wife who makes cooking for a crowd look so easy. Everything she serves looks and tastes great. I am sure she would appreciate some new ideas.
I would give it to my brother who wants to be a chef one day.
I will give the cookbook to a friend because it looks so awesome I already ordered it from amazon
I will give it to my son!
Since my girls borrow all my cookbooks anyway, it only makes sense to keep it for myself 🙂
