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.

Hi, I already subscribe to the Kosher On a Budget daily email newsletter.
I would keep the cookbook for myself. I love what I call “coffee table” cookbooks; ones pretty enough to grace my coffee table for guests to peruse, yet filled with great recipes to serve them!
I already receive your email updates. 🙂
I have liked your multiple incarnations on Facebook, so I can keep getting your status updates in my newsfeed.
I liked and joined your facebook page a long time ago.
I would love to have this cookbook! It looks fantastic! Already signed up for emails & FB!
i would give it to my husband if he’d cook for me but i doubt that he would so i’d use it myself 🙂
I would love to win this cookbook and keep it for myself but I will share with my daughters and daughters in law and let them borrow it.
I am already an email subscriber of Kosher on A Budget. Thanks.
I will give it to my daughter. She has a 2 year old and twins 9 months, and she is doing an amazing job. B”H she is home to take care of her children but she WORKS all day long and has precious little time. Despite all that, entertaining people at all levels for Shabbos is part of her avodah. She is a good chef, and she would benefit most from fancy, but time saving recipes.
Would like a copy, looks good.
Good luck to whomever you choose?
Love creativity! Can’t wait to try new ideas taking my cooking to a new level. Will definitely share with my gourmet son who’s a real foodie.

I would have a party with my favorite fellow kosher cooks and we would make some recipes. At the end, the winner would be determined by lot. I would also spread the word about the cookbook to my friends and family. My husband loves to cook as well and we both entertain alot.
Why would I give such a nice cookbook away? It’s for me since I’m the real cook in the family.

One of my goals I made for myself during the chagim was to invite people over for Shabbat more often- so this book would help me to do it in a beautiful way!
