What is Kosher?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
To better understand the proper way to plan and cater an authentic\nJewish meal is to learn the rules behind the meaning of kosher. Kosher, or Kashrut<\/em>, is a term that describes the approach taken for food and\nmeal preparation. Specifically, it is the set of Jewish dietary laws. The\nHebrew term translates to \u201cfit\u201d; meaning fit for consumption. Almost any kind\nof food can be kosher, so long as it\u2019s prepared in accordance to the Jewish\nkosher guidelines defined by the Torah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So what makes food not <\/em>kosher? The rules are slightly complicated but enriched with centuries of tradition and belief. For example, if an animal is not slaughtered for food in the accepted ritualistic manner, it is perceived as “un-kosher” and cannot be consumed.\u00a0 More examples include the use of non-kosher cooking utensils and equipment, the presence of certain ingredients that come from non-kosher animals, animal blood, most types of milk and soft cheeses, gelatin, and various other dairy products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are planning to host or cater an authentic kosher dinner,\nkeep in mind these specific rules and guidelines for proper and authentic\nKashrut catering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2721 Certain livestock and animals cannot be eaten at all;<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2721 All blood must be drained or broiled out from the meat;<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2721 All animals have to be slaughtered in accordance to Jewish law;<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2721 Certain parts of an animal cannot be eaten (i.e. liver, sciatic nerve, fats, etc.);<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2721 Fruits cannot contain any bugs or pest contamination;<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2721 The meat of birds and animals cannot be consumed with dairy (i.e. fish, grains, fruits, eggs, and vegetables can be eaten with either meat or dairy, but not both);<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2721 You cannot use cooking tools and pans that have come into contact with non-kosher foods, meat, or dairy;<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2721 Grape products (including wine) made by non-Jewish persons cannot be consumed;<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on particular families and the extent of their orthodox\nbeliefs, there can be several other universal rules to kosher catering and meal\npreparation.
