Rabbi,
Am I allowed to buy a non kosher recipe/cookbook so that I can use some of the recipes, or improvise for non kosher ingredients?
How is owning this different than owning any other traif cookbooks. Many women own at least one non-Jewish cookbook, most of which call for traif ingredients in at least some recipes. Are you suggesting that that is a problem?
Give it a rest.
Get a life !!!!!
I went through the whole cookbook but couldn't find a recipe that calls for fresh raspberries.
In terms of the herbs they sell bug free ones.
It's time to do the next hit and run
The strawberry Mango ice cream roll lists Raspberries.
Fresh herbs are truly infested
Rav Shain:
What's worse, what enters a person's mouth or....what enters a person's mind???
The frum community has Mishpacha magazine who writes anti-family and anti-Rabbinic articles, improper hashkafis, openly declared Rav Elyashiv incompetent to make decisions.
Vayishman Yeshurun Vayivat! The Jewish businesses are so well off that they continue to pay for advertisements in a magazine of Sonei Yisroel. Then the frum velt has so much money they can afford to continue to buy the drivel Mishpacha serves to them on a weekly basis.

Yudel,
you are plain wrong there are plenty of rasberries that are clean just too hard to be practical
and it is a SHTUS to say its assur to have in your house
Your head is a treif recipe...
Biegeleisen in Boro Park was selling "seforim" published by JTS and probably still are. One of the Lakewood dayanim sent a shaliach to tell them he holds it is assur and they should ask a shaylah. One of the owners put on a phony act that oy vey and pretends to remove them. They go right back on display after the shaliach walks out. And if you wanted to see something really funny, you should have seen when the modern orthodox came in looking for a new sefer from Shlomo Goren's ksovim. The owners would have a hard time finding it because the kanoyim hid them under other seforim.
Rav Schwab O"bm once told my wife that there is no such thing as a non-Kosher fruit or vegetable. The problem is with the non-Kosher items (bugs, shkotzim, micro-blogowners, etc.) attached to the fruits & vegetables. Hashem created them Kosher & they will always be that way.
You may be correct that they should have put in a reminder on each of the recipes using these ingredients to make sure that they have been properly cleaned. But don't be more religious than Hashem!

Did You ever read Mishpacha? Or are you 'ploppleing' the loshon horah that you were 'mikabel' as fact instead of just being 'choshesh??
"Thank you" C.S. for taking the liberty - yet again - to speak on behalf of the Chofetz Chaim.
(Kimat any time that someone sticks his nose into the discussion as the Lashon Horah Police, it is the gadfly nudnik from the Queens Vaad)
The Queens Vaad nudnik is in a bind. He is a yeshivishe maniac that will fly off the handle and scream you are an "apikoiris" when you go against any adam kotton from organizations he has an agenda to support, but when the gedolei hador come out against something the Queens Vaad is doing, like selling improper magazines in his stores, or even horrific things like bizayon maisim, he has every excuse why he doesn't have to listen to Daas Torah and spins that you are making up stories, sailaich rochil, blah blah blah.
He is of course completely misrepresenting the Chofetz Chaim vee alemol.
The alter Brisker talmid of the Maharil Diskin, R' Zorach Braverman, once got on the train to Vilna at the Eishishok station. He sat next to an elterra Yid already on board and struck up a conversation with him. The old man became angry and said the manhigim in Vilna that had hijacked the place without a general consensus are destroying Yiddishkeit there.
Rav Braverman became incensed. Who was this man to deride ("recognized"?) community elders? He responded vociferously. "Excuse me, but I think you should learn the new sefer just out. It is called Chofetz Chaim and deals specifically with lashon horah. In fact, I have it here with me."
The old man asked to see the sefer. He took it and immediately opened it to a section which specified when it's a mitzvah to speak out in the case when they act against Daas Torah.
Rav Braverman remained quiet and took back the book. The trip ended and the old man and Rav Braverman went their ways in Vilna. It only took a day until Rav Braverman found out that he was seated next to none other than the Chofetz Chaim himself.
Aiy, yaiy, yaiy, de sekratoren,vee Spotlight und feivish oo'chavairov hoben shoin iber genoomen nit nor agudah nor oichet daas taira.

Chaimel, how dare you say the hailiger R' Chaim would be m'abed atzmo al hadaas. Sounds like apikursis to say such a crazy thing.
Otherwise you're back to your old games of spinning things in reverse, Mr. Executive Sekretair. R' Chaim Brisker redt vegen the unelected nobodies in organizational positions vee deer vus halten zich Daas Toirah.
My goodness, what "Daas Torah" are you presenting, and based on what halacha?
The halachah inferred from "Al tashken" refers to keeping a Sefer Torah (and, by extension, any Sefer) that contains typos or other errors. This is because you may make a mistake while reading, and learn the wrong thing. Where does that come in here?
As "yekkishe bekishe" quotes Rav Schwab, a fruit or herb cannot be "Treif", and therefore a recipe using it is not Treif. If it's infested, it cannot be used, but the recipe doesn't call for "wormy strawberry" or "bugged cilantro" - does it?
Your overwhelming and misplaced "zealotry" only serves to work against you. If you yell at everybody that everything they eat is Treif, you won't get anywhere.
