About the Author
Laura Frankel is the executive chef of Wolfgang Puck's restaurant in the (Jewish) Spertus Museum in Chicago. She was the founder and was formerly the co-owner of Shallots, which was recognized as one of the top restaurants in Chicago and one of the best kosher restaurants in the United States. After working in hotel and restaurant kitchens, Frankel had a family and began maintaining a kosher home kitchen. Unable to find a restaurant venue for quality kosher cooking, she opened Shallots in 1999, a restaurant offering kosher fine dining with a produce-driven menu. She has appeared on the CBS Weekend Morning Show, and in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and the Chicago Tribune. She has taught cooking classes in Chicago, New York, Milwaukee, and in multiple places in California and New Jersey. Her website is www.lauraskosherkitchen.com. Her first book was Jewish Cooking For All Seasons (Wiley).
