Things You'll Need:
- Kosher Cookbooks
-
Step 1
Eat no flesh, organs, eggs or milk that come from forbidden animals, and avoid certain parts of permitted animals.
-
Step 2
Eat permitted animals only if they have been slaughtered in accordance with Jewish law.
-
Step 3
Make sure all blood has been drained from meat or broiled out of it before you eat it.
-
Step 4
Do not eat meat ("fleishig," the flesh of birds and mammals) with "milchig" (dairy). You may eat foods considered "pareve," or neutral, with either meat or dairy. Pareve foods include fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and grains, though some Jews do not eat fish with meat.
-
Step 5
Keep utensils used with meat separate from those used with dairy, and do not use utensils with kosher food if they have come into contact with nonkosher food. (This rule applies only if the contact occurred while the food was hot.)
-
Step 6
Do not eat or drink grape products made by non-Jews.
-
Step 7
Simplify your shopping by looking for kosher symbols. Most prepackaged foods have some kind of kosher certification.
-
Step 8
Keep in mind that kosher is not a style of cooking. Any kind of food - including Chinese, Indian or nouvelle cuisine - can be kosher if prepared and served in accordance with Jewish law.

on 11/22/2005 Even meat from permitted animals must be slaughtered in a kosher way. This means that unless you are willing to spend years of training to learn how to do it yourself, you will be buying meat only from kosher butchers and eating only beef, veal, lamb, chicken or turkey, maybe duck. There aren't many deer raised in captivity and slaughtered by a shochet.

on 11/22/2005 A forbidden animal is pork. The reasons not to eat pork from non-Jewish people can also be untrue. It's best because they are probably non kosher meats and mixtures, and probably not inspected by a rabbi.
