A lot has happened since last I posted, the holiday of Succot has passed, I had a birthday and last but most definitely not least, our living hostages have come home. We thank G-d for many things, generally on a personal level – health and happiness, family and livelihood but my tiny beloved country loves […]
As my regular readers already know, I love to develop new recipes and in general play around in the kitchen. I’m a big fan of biscotti since I love crunchy cookie like objects and find that coffee and chocolate makes my palate hum in happiness. I quite deliberately didn’t add chocolate chips to the recipe […]
As the holiday of Rosh HaShana comes ever closer, I like to prepare myself mentally, spiritually and physically. For the physical part, we bring in the New Year traditionally, with something sweet, generally with honey although sweet foods are always a theme. This year, I decided to go with a “milk” and honey theme, since […]
This cake has all the things I particularly like in a cake. A nice textured cake, not too dense, and not too sweet but sweet enough, with a bit of apple and cinnamon – what I consider a perfect coffee cake. Even the apple isn’t a filling precisely but rather a flavor pop. A note. […]

Okay, so the party girl here is the Halloumi cheese which has a most interesting texture, it’s firm and white and looks a bit like a block of tofu but the texture is harder and it slices well. The magic that happens when you fry the Halloumi (no need to deep fry, shallow frying does […]
How do I describe the deliciousness of this dish? Let me count the ways. Probably the best way would be to say that DH said, this is unbelievable, you gonna make it again soon? the first time I made it. The second time I made it it was clear it was the top of his […]
I love this meal since you’re getting serious bang for your buck, so to speak, with a protein, carb and veg all in one, easy to prepare and yummy, yummy for all ages. You can either use your own chicken which you’re repurposing, a rotisserie chicken or even uncooked chicken breast which cooks quickly enough […]
While things are a bit quieter now, thank G-d, it’s been an eventful few weeks and I promised you guys a “set it and forget it” dinner. When life gets complicated and you have little time or patience, there’s nothing quite like a slow cooker meal. When the whole family sends each other WhatsApps and […]
