Here I am back hosting the Kosher Cooking Carnival, the Jewish food blog carnival which includes all aspects of kosher food. That means a lot more than just recipes. We welcome
posts about Jewish food traditions, halachot-Jewish laws pertaining to food, reviews of kosher cookbooks
and restaurants and recipes, too, of course. I began it quite a few years when a recipe carnival rejected my post because their theme was ham. And since then, we've been going strong.
This blog carnival, a floating from blog to blog/site internet magazine is monthly, posted on Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of the Jewish month by various volunteer blogs. We coordinate it via email and our facebook page/group. You can send your post/link via blog carnival or fb message to whomever is the host for the upcoming month. If you have questions or would like to host one, just contact me.
Here are the posts I received via blog carnival, after weeding out the spam. I'll follow them with some of mine and others.

During my past couple of visits to New York I've eaten at U Cafe` quite a few times, and every meal was a real treat. I guess one of the best things I can say is that you don't have to be kosher to be a fan of theirs. My non-kosher eating partners all were enthusiastic about the food.
New York is no longer the center of our family life in America. My parents and sister now live in the Phoenix, AZ area. It's possible to eat kosher well, even when everything is traif. I keep a pot, cutting board and knife there so I can make my own food. A friend took me out for one meal in a kosher pizza place; though we didn't eat pizza.
When I posted a query about the reliability of the kashrut of a certain hechshar I received very mixed replies. I found myself corresponding with someone who actually knows the rabbi in question, and he said that the hechshar is reliable. A cousin in Philadelphia who organized my family reunion day there discovered how complicated it can be. One of the restaurants she planned on taking me to which had been recommended by kosher food eaters is vegan but open on Shabbat. I told her that I'd prefer only a shomer shabbat one. That is also what the OU recommends.
Don't worry, we found enough kosher restaurants in Philly.

Wow, last month went fast and I forgot to submit. I've been making Sabra ices that my kids go crazy for. Thanks for hosting and have a great month!
Yum, summer quinoa looks and sounds great.
Thanks for hosting and for managing the carnival!
Yosefa, so maybe you'll make up for it in the next edition.
Leora, I've eaten the quinoa salad when in the states. Now I have to try to cook it.
Thanks for including my Challah post!
When you make quinoa, make sure you rinse and rinse and rinse again, by the way. If you don't rinse it really well, you'll have a a bitter, soapy flavored quinoa. Enjoy! I like quinoa a lot, but my texture-obsessed family won't agree to eat it much...
They are so tiny; it's hard to rinse them. I haven't noticed a strange flavor.
Great job, and thanks for including my post!
My pleasure, thank you!
