DH and I have very dear friends, Vivi and Steve, whom we have known since we got married (over 40 years ago! Whoa!). We have stayed in touch over the years, getting together whenever possible when they are in Jerusalem or we are in the States and have had the pleasure of hosting their kids […]
So, people, we are going through difficult times but life must go on and time and tide won’t stop the holiday from coming and ya gotta eat. So some sweet richness makes it a bit easier to muddle through. While I have a wonderful non-dairy recipe for rugelach from my in-law Rivky, I felt in […]
Aside from the fact that these have this wonderful marbled look to them which is both cool to look at and somehow tastes better too, these are a delightful snack or addition to a meal. These are nicely spiced but you can always up the spiciness, depending on your taste. A little more red pepper […]

Since Israel Independence Day is hot on our heels, the whole country rubs its hands in glee and prepares for a “Mangal”. This is barbecuing Israel style. There are all sorts of inside jokes about how this is done and the proper way to do it (many prepare their feasts in public parks with old […]
Many of us are still recovering from the cooking marathon that usually accompanies a holiday. Passover has come and gone and is remembered with fondness and joy but hey, some of us just wanna throw something easy together. This is the dish.
