Vegetable Frittata with Mushrooms and Onions and Potatoes and Spinach
Sometimes you want to whip something up and you open your fridge and contemplate the pickings. Hmm, let’s see. So I had cooked, cubed potatoes, spinach in danger of wilting beyond repair and just as I prepare in advance caramelized onions, I had made caramelized onions and mushrooms. Frittata!!! My fridge practically screamed it at […]
Smoky Eggplant Salad
I made this for Shabbat and there isn’t a drop left of this delicious salad. Some call it eggplant “caviar” since it has small seeds that can look like caviar but to me this is the most basic of basic eggplant salads, the sort you can pick up in any grocery shop in Israel made […]
Royal Vacation in Eilat, Interview with Head Chef Nisim and his Recipe for Lentil Soup
Let me start by saying that DH and I have been super super careful this whole year due to Corona/Covid and haven’t eaten at any restaurants or even contemplated hotels. Then, after a coupla lockdowns, we decided to try to book a hotel in Eilat, at that point a “green” city. Suffice it to say […]
Chocolate Dipped Almond Horns
Ah childhood memories! Nothing quite like ’em, are there?

I’m always trying to find new ways to prepare veggies, and sometimes I feel that they are so delish they can beckon me more than the main! While DH and I like cabbage in many forms, we were having Netanel and Ayelet over and I know she’s not a cabbage fan (from childhood, apparently) but […]

Brisket is one of my favorite cuts of meat since I find it so flavorful and delicious. I have a number of recipes for brisket on the blog but decided to do yet another, this time the pulled beef version. There is an important heads up I give you here. If you don’t let the […]
Meat Stuffed Empanadas
These are delicious and crispy crunchy and baked in the oven. Since the dough is similar to a pie dough, if you are feeling the crunch of time, and you wish to buy the dough, that’s the type of dough to go for. I have the recipe for the dough below, as you see fit. […]
Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Spread
In Israel, we are famous for our elaborate restaurant breakfasts with all kinds of dips, cheeses, eggs, bread etc. The first time I ever ate the tomato pesto spread I confess I was leery. I have an ambivalent relationship with tomatoes since if they are very acidic, I have a very mild allergic reaction to […]
