Yes, It's Time, To Choose a Rhyme!

So many rhymes came in

Who is going to win?

So help me choose

Though most will lose

My Kosher by Design Teens & 20-Somethings: cooking for the next generation by Susie Fishbein "win a free book" contest is coming to an end.  I've collected all of the entries, and I'd like your input in choosing the winner.


I enjoyed reading and reviewing it.  Choosing the contest winner is the hardest part of this deal!  Following are the rhymes that you sent in, and some of you sent in more than one!  I'm just coding them, not adding the names of the contestants.  I'll announce the winner sometime next week after Risa's Kosher Cooking Carnival.


1-The Hungry Teenager


I'm in the mood
for some tasty food.
Mom, what can I eat?
"Make something yourself, I'm beat!"


This new Kosher by Design
Has some recipes that are fine.
But where to start?
I'll go to the Kosher Mart.


Ingredients are what I need,
My friends and I need a feed!
Bowls and spoons, pans and pots,
Fruit and veggies we have lots.


Susie's recipe is so easy to make,
And only a half hour to bake!
Out of the oven it smells yum,
Can't wait till it's in my tum.


My dish tastes great,
And makes all my friends stay late.
It's so much fun to cook,
You should all get the new book!


2-Cookbooks are not just a way to cook food
The pictures and stories put you in the mood
So if Susie's past books demonstrate just a bit
This 20 and teen book's a guaranteed hit!


3-By Design cookbooks are for Kosher eats,
Dairy, veggies, fish and meats
But my favorite are the sweets,
Especially Shabbos dessert treats.


4-For a book to cook from,
that’s easy and neat
Containing amazing recipes,
pareve, dairy and meat.


5-Without time or space,
This book is suited for the student's place.
Whether old or young,
All the recipes will tickle your tongue.
So break out the food and get a start!
You'll make wonderful food -
perhaps even memories for your heart.


6-You don't have to be a teen
To enjoy this hip cuisine.


Susie's recipes always rule
Tasty, funky, hip and cool.


Moms no longer need complain
Your teen will help you entertain.


Busy cooks can now create
Inspired food to fill the plate.


7-teens and older
cooking bolder


8-From yummy scones
to pretzel tarts;
Cook your way to
kitchen smarts!


9-Gourmet French toast
or chicken wrap;
Fixing fast meals
is a snap!


10-I'm not a twenty or a teen
It's quite a while since I have been
One of those yet I can't wait
To see the amazing stuff I can create!


11-A teen's appetite is unpredictable at best
Starving then not hungry, it can put you to the test...
Well here's a book that's sure to not stay dusty on your shelves -
You all now can enjoy while they make dinner for themselves!

12-One generation: 40 years wandering in the desert eating mohn.
New generation: Time to move on and see what Suzy Fishbein has done!
