So, we are moving house. This is what I call a big deal since it’s going through the detritus of myriad years, 18 in this home, to be precise, and whilst we’ve moved in the past, we are leaving a neighborhood in which we’ve lived for lo these 40 years. We are moving from the […]
Okay, this recipe is a piece of my childhood. DH and I grew up in the same neighborhood (and yes, when we were dating we had to skulk around so we wouldn’t be a source of entertainment to the wags of the ‘hood) and due to this, share many food and other memories. This is […]
Got about 25 or so minutes to make dinner? This is perfect and super delish to boot. I used skinless, boneless chicken thighs to prepare this dish and it was truly fabulous. If you wish to use regular bone in, skin on chicken, I will give you (below) the cook time (longer than skinless, boneless, […]
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. […]
I have on occasion made the classic spinach artichoke dip which is this uber rich combo and had nice sourdough bread for dipping but both DH and I found it to be, although delicious, less our kind of thing, it’s a dip, not a meal. So I decided to turn it into a meal by […]
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 […]
