AUTHOR: LAURA FRANKEL is the executive chef of Wolfgang Puck's kosher restaurant and catering business at the Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies in Chicago. After working in hotel and restaurant kitchens, Frankel started a family and began to maintain a kosher kitchen. Unable to find a restaurant in the Chicago area for top-quality kosher cooking, in 1999 she opened Shallots, a restaurant offering kosher fine dining with a produce-driven menu; later came Shallots Bistro in Skokie, Illinois, and a Shallots outpost in Manhattan. The Shallots restaurants were recognized as being among the best kosher restaurants in the United States. Also the author of Jewish Cooking for All Seasons, Frankel lives in Chicago with her three sons.
