Instructions

    • 1

      Find a grocery store or butcher that has a reputation for selling kosher meats. Beef and poultry must be slaughtered and blessed to be considered kosher. Pork and seafood must not be consumed by someone keeping kosher.

    • 2

      Cook with kosher ingredients only. If you use an ingredient in a dish that is not kosher, it makes the entire dish non-kosher.

    • 3

      Shop online at the IsrealiSuper website for quality kosher food that can be delivered to your home.

    • 4

      Purchase separate cookware, dishes and silverware for your kosher meals. Kosher food is never cooked in or eaten with utensils that are used for non-kosher food.

    • 5

      Buy a good cookbook to get kosher recipes. "Eat! Enjoy! The 101 Best Jewish Recipes" is published by St. Martin's Press and available at Barnes and Noble or Borders. This book includes some excellent kosher recipes.

Tips & Warnings

  • Establish a relationship with your local kosher butcher and baker. These contacts will get you the most plump chicken and freshest challah bread for the Sabbath dinner.

  • Never use the same utensils to cook meat and dairy foods. You also must not eat meat and dairy at the same meal. To do so would be to break kosher laws.
