My SIL Suzy, as I’ve mentioned many times, is a skilled baker and I’m happy to say, along with my other sisters-in-law, a dear friend. Who says you can’t get lucky with family? I still remember at one of our family events her turning to me and saying, “aren’t we lucky”? Yes we are, thank […]
There are times I’m in the mood for a nice piece of cake but know that we will be a very small crowd. So, I can always make muffins but that’s not cake, it’s a muffin. There are a number of differences between cake and muffins, primarily the amount of fat/oil/butter/marg and sugar but it […]
I got this recipe from my sister in law Yocheved many many years ago and made it often. It’s so easy to put together and so tasty but best of all, goes in together for that first hour you are cooking your meat or chicken (or vegetarian stuffed peppers) that you don’t have to dedicate […]
Yes, yes, it’s another pre New Year brisket recipe. What can I say? It’s tradition. It’s not to say I never prepare other cuts of meat, I do, but this cut particularly freezes well and reheats well and is just so delicious, I couldn’t help myself. As I’ve said numerous times, this takes a long […]

I wound up (knowing in […]
The name of these cookies is either the French (like palm tree tops) or the more delightful elephant ears, which they use in Israel. Personally, I like the ear version. This is almost ridiculously easy to prepare if you use bought puff pastry, which I do, although I’ve made my own it’s a huge amount […]
I have discovered that many people are in search of how to make basic white rice which is fast, tasty and doesn’t require much effort to come out properly. So I give you my recipe which is for white rice, not brown, (see on the blog Excellent Basic Brown Rice ) and all you require […]
As I’ve oft mentioned, DH and I love to travel and I must say that although Covid definitely impacted this and we were being careful about it, we have been venturing forth again. My BFF, Paulette and her hubby Doug, is one of our favorite destinations, whether in Gibraltar or London. This time we were […]
