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 like your fb page and subscribe to your newsletter. I’d give the cookbook to my husband, hoping he’d get the hint. But I’d probably do all the cooking myself.
For me ;), cuz I’d like to try making pretty food.
I would definitely add this to my cookbook collection! I love a beautiful presentation. My husband & I love to cook together, and my two oldest are turning into talented gourmets as well. New cookbooks are a family affair in our household!

I would love to win this cookbook, as presentation is as important to me as taste, and I’m drawn to the idea of making more gourmet dishes in less time–especially as Shabbos gets earlier and earlier! I’m a pretty good cook but am always looking to add to my repertoire.
I already am a very grateful subscriber to your emails
We all want it for ourselves! Any help feeding a family of 5 is always welcome! Especially with the claims that the recipes are fast!
