2007 kosherfest review
Kosher Show Review
The Kosher Show was held on November 11-12 in New York City. I only attended on November 11 with my husband. There were more than 150 booths of which appx 100 were food related. An overall theme for me seemed to be convenience kosher foods. I noticed a lot of par boiled baked goods- Crusty Bread, Laromme Bakery, Purple Pear all had these type of products. We also noticed several companies with ravioli, and dried pastas (like Contadina).
There were the usual vendors Abeles and Heyman, Manishevitz and Rokeach that you can find at your local supermarket. Here is a round up of what I saw that looked interesting.
Alcohol
Cow Jumped Over the Moon. Delicious French wine including a $190 Domaine Gibourd Pommard 2005. My husband remarked that you could taste the quality of these wines.
Liquori Kosher OU certified Limoncello, Orange liquer, Chocolate liquer, wild fennel liquer and myrtle liquor.
Baked Goods-Dessert
Exceptional Brownie-brownies with flavors like Double Chocolate, Butterscotch blondie and raspberry swirl. The chocolate brownie was not too sweet.
Skinner Baking Company-interesting baked goods similar in look to entemmans. We tasted a really nice dulce de leche roulade
Strauss Bakery-beautiful cakes for weddings and simchas including a Louis Vuitton bag, hats and other cakes covered with fondant.

Restaurant Row
It was somewhat disappointing. There were 10 restaurants. One served tortillas and salsa which I tasted at other booths. Caffe Gio served a pasta dish with pesto dressing, Chosen Garden served some Chinese food Estihana served sushi and Grille de Paris served meat. Some of the other restaurants served some dessert items, but none of the other restaurants served items from their menu. I did not get a real sense of how good their food was and why I should travel to their restaurant. I also did not take back some ideas for my own menus, or discover the types of ingredients I should have on my store shelves (koshergourmetmart.com)
Perhaps it was different on Monday.
All in all, the show was fun and I did get to spend the day with my husband.
Kosherfest - anyone going?
I am going and will give a full report. Registering before today it was $30.The high price is emant to deter non trade. fyi: there are 10 kosher restaurants serving food like estihana, purple pear, grille de paris so it should be well worth the money

Abigael's........Same damn Menu
abigaels has a brand new menu go to: http://www.abigaels.com/abigaels_menu_dinner.html
Best meal before fasting?
I used to do soup but find that eating meat/fish works better for me. chicken soup generally needs extra salt to taste good (for me it makes the chicken taste more chickeny) so I've stopped serving soup.
Best meal before fasting?
The best thing is to eat items with lots of protein such as meat, chicken, fish, as well as complex carbs. Lentils, and beans are also great. Soup is not so great b/c one tends to fill up on liquid.

alyssa kaplan
can anyone tell me what pre-packaged snack foods are kosher?
the issue with Danimals is that they contain unhechshered gelatin;some of them contain ingredients colored with carmine. Carmine is never kosher as it is made from crushed bug shells!
