The Parve Baker

Not rated yet.

I’m a Conservative rabbi and cultural anthropologist. So I understand baking as both a religious obligation and a cultural practice shaped by my upbringing, education and community. The recipes and information here reflect what I do in my own kitchen, but you don’t have to keep kosher or be Jewish to enjoy them. If you’re Jewish and religiously observant, follow your rabbi’s guidance in matters of kashrut. Great parve baking is a challenge, but the rewards of success are well worth the effort. Baking without dairy products is a necessity for kosher meals at which meat is eaten. It is a gift at any time to family and friends who are lactose intolerant or avoid dairy for other reasons.
