A comprehensive guide to understanding Jewish dietary laws that explores the ins and outs of this eating style. Here you will find answers to questions like: what does it mean to keep a kosher? Why can't you mix meat and dairy dishes? How do you turn a nonkosher kitchen into a kosher one? Do you really need multiple sets of everything--dishes, pots, pans, and utensils?
