Since this is a very English dish, you might ask how a native New Yorker living in Jerusalem would know of it. Blame it on my friend Paulette (hello out there xxx) who served it to us years ago in London. I won’t go into the whole where it got it’s name (briefest version, in […]
Why Tuesday night, you might ask? Because generally when the kids were growing up, we had leftovers till Monday night and then I threw something together for Tuesday night since pizza was really a Wednesday night meal, pretty much every week (my daughter Batya has mostly kept this tradition going). But, I find that now […]
I was in the mood for another crunchy cookie and I was in the mood for nuts. I also didn’t want to spend too much time on them in prep (I have my moments of crazy amounts of time on prep, this day wasn’t one of ’em 😉 ) so I decided to fiddle about […]
I’m a big fan of sweet potatoes but mostly prefer to go with a savory approach. I’ve always felt adding too much sweet made it taste like a dessert and not a side dish. This kugel doesn’t taste like a regular potato kugel, it’s got a slight custardy thing going on as well as a […]
Why honeymooners you might ask? Simple. So many of us are home just the two of us for close to two months because of Corona virus lockdown and you just want some cake. What to do? You can’t scale down a cake with an 1/8 of an egg, it’s ridiculous and not doable. So how […]
In my many years of dining out, I must’ve eaten a kajillion Niçoise salads, some excellent, some eh and some weirdly awful. There are certain things that tend to be basic to the salad, but I was in the mood for one and decided to go with a few changes in the tradition. I skipped […]
Break out the napkins for this one! Succulent, juicy, a fab first course, or if you serve a flock of wings 😉 it can be a main course as well. I love eating wings but hate cleaning them. Then, as I have already mentioned, the French butcher in our neighborhood saved us by delivering to […]
This is a delightful add on to your kitchen repertoire. Delish in the long, hot days of summer, wonderful in hot tea. In short, it is a syrup which is ridiculously easy to make, takes about 5 minutes of cooking time and then to get full flavor, you let the flavorings steep in the syrup […]
This is a great side dish although, I’ve been known to gobble this up in lieu of a main. I find the flavors quite addictive and the roasting on high heat turns the onions sweet and delectable. In addition, if you wish to make this more of a main, you can add cheese at the […]
