Cheesy Fries for Motzei Shabbos from the Really Fun-to-Read Dira Cookbook

The Dira Cookbook is not just a cookbook! You’ll be entertained just reading through it. 

Some of our teenage boys found The Dira Cookbook before we even had a chance to introduce it to them and read it cover to cover. They loved the no-nonsense approach to cooking, the realistic and familiar way of explaining a recipe and, most importantly, the recipes. 

It was foods they wanted to eat, right there right then. This cookbook is a great gift for any bochur going to yeshiva, or, even for newlywed couples.

We loved the introduction where it is explained that there are no teaspoons or tablespoons, just “spoons.” Specifically, plastic spoons. And for “cups,” use a plastic one as well. The cups in this book refer to the 7 oz plastic ones we all have by the water cooler. Here is a recipe we tried and know that your kids will try too. It’s the perfect motzei Shabbos snack if you will.

Take a look at that cheese pull!
