We recently had the great pleasure of hosting my brother Shlomo and sis in law Dorie for about two weeks. They came in from the States to visit our mom in honor of her (shhh) 95th birthday. Honestly, when I G-d willing, hopefully in good health, mental and physical which mom has, tfutfutfu, reach that […]
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 […]

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 […]
People sometimes ask me where I come up with my recipes. So some I eat at other’s homes or restaurants and either get recipes or try to deconstruct them, some I combine from cookbooks or websites (I give credit if it’s more or less the same recipe) and some literally pop into my head to […]
Aaaand Thanksgiving has rolled around again. It was one of my favorites growing up and we always had turkey and cranberry sauce, albeit the cranberry sauce was out of a can. 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 […]
