Spice and Spirit: The Complete Kosher Jewish Cookbook (A Kosher living classic) Review
Granted, this book is no frills. There are no pictures. Just lots and lots of recipes, categorized into: challah; dairy foods; soups; parve main dishes; meat & poultry mains; sides; cakes & pastrys; desserts & confections. It also has tons of information on kashrus and shabbat for beginners. It's like Joy of Cooking, but kosher. (Mind you, Joy of Cooking also doesn't have pictures. But it's a kitchen staple.)
I have a huge library now of kosher cookbooks and I have to say that no other book has a comprehensive collection of all the shabbat and kosher classics as Spice & Spirit. Recipes for different types of challah; cholents; noodle, potato, or broccoli kugels; blintzes; parve ice creams.
If you don't like the traditional recipes or if pictures are a must, I would point you towards Susie Fishbein and the Kosher by Design series, e.g. Kosher by Design, Kosher by Design Short on Time, and Kosher By Design Entertains. But I feel Spice & Spirit is a must have for any kosher home. Make it a gift for any new bride. It also has handy tips, like the amounts of flour necessary for doing mitzvahs like taking challah with or without the brocha.
Spice and Spirit is also available in a Passover edition.

Wonderful Cookbook - recipes work! - Bracha - Baltimore
These recipes work. I've tried a lot of them, and they come out the way they are supposed to. I made a "Pavlova" having never heard of it before (turns out it is a favorite Australian dessert). It is a meringue volcano filled with either whipped cream or compote, and based on the directions I was able to make it correctly the first time. I give Spice and Spirit big thumbs up.

I bought this book as a gift for my newly married son and his wife because I enjoy using the recipes in the copy I have owned for years. The recipes are easy to follow and not old-fashioned like in other kosher cookbooks, and the book is beautiful in appearance.
