Gathering Round the Holiday Table
by Norene Gilletz

The daunting task of preparing festive dishes for your holiday table can be overwhelming, but not as overwhelming as creating a top-quality cookbook packed with triple-tested recipes. Shawna Magence and Carol Lesser were the coordinators for Gatherings: Creative Kosher Cooking from our Families to Yours, a fund-raising project by the parents of Netivot HaTorah Day School in Thornhill, Ontario.

Gatherings is not your usual fund-raising cookbook. It is a top-quality, professionally designed book, with 300 luscious recipes contributed by friends and family of children attending the school. It has a special layflat binding and contains fabulous photos and terrific cooking tips. Since Gatherings was published last October, over $100,000 has been raised as a result of a lot of hard work, dedication and passion.
