If you are a sweet potato fan, like me, then you know there are myriad ways of preparing this delicious root veg and I play around with them all the time. This is an incredibly simple method of preparing them but the taste is sublime since this is a savory sweet potato dish no added […]
This is a take on a recipe my late mother in law used to make fairly often. It was always a hit with adults and kids and fairly quick to put together. In Israel, I haven’t found pre-crushed cornflakes so I simply crushed my own and give you amounts crushed and uncrushed. We’ve got hungry […]
Okay, here’s a shoutout to DH for being such a good sport about this. I experimented with this cake to the point that I thought he’d go into open revolt but he really was a trooper and understood the need for research here. I must’ve made 10 different versions of this cake till I was […]
So Chanukah is upon us again and as usual, I have to make a traditional fried food to feel I’ve done my bit. This is no hardship, mind you, I enjoy these little holiday indulgences although I confess, this recipe makes 12 nice latkes and I only got to eat 2. Nuff said, DH was […]
It was cold outside and I was in the mood for a beef stew like dish so I rummaged in my pantry and found a wonderful array of dried fruits and then my eye caught a nice big can of pineapple in its own juice. Done. I was already dreaming of the combo. I decided […]

It was still good and we gobbled (sorry I just had to) it up. In Israel, there are no fresh cranberries but I’ve discovered […]
I had the great pleasure of visiting with my BFF Paulette just last week and when we hang out together, we talk of many things but of course, we talk food. I perused some gorgeous cookbooks she had (and she was busy making Shabbat meals from some) and was particularly taken by a recipe by […]
As I think I’ve mentioned a number of times, I’m a big fan of mushrooms of all types. I particularly enjoy portobello mushrooms since they are meaty in texture and flavor which adds an additional dimension to your meal. I serve these as a side dish to accompany fish, chicken or meat and if you […]
