This is a surprisingly simple recipe, using very basic ingredients, but has endured the test of time. DH, who truly loves and understands me, bought me many years ago for my birthday/anniversary present a 10 week course, of once a week to meet with the head chef of the Hilton hotel in Jerusalem at the […]
Personally, in many ways I prefer gravalax to regular smoked salmon aka lox. It has a less “gushy” texture (sorry for the complicated foodie jargon 🙂 ) is firmer and more meaty. I think people are a little scared of making it themselves but once I nerved myself to trying it and potentially wasting a […]
IMHO these really are the best. I got this recipe over 15 years ago from my friend Sharon. It went missing for a time and I tried to find it on the Quaker website but at the time, the recipe was not the same (despite a similar name) and I was despairing. Then I reorganized […]
This is so quick and easy that you can’t quite believe it. Of course, this all started when I spied a package of fully cooked, peeled beets in the refrigerator case and thought, hmm, nutritious and popping with bold color and flavor, let’s add this to the menu. It’s both tart and a bit sweet […]
So I had a bunch of my kids and grandkids over for Succot and I find that this is a dish that both adults and kids alike are very happy with. I made a little extra to use up the puff pastry roll and it was snorfed down in seconds. The joy in their eyes […]
No flour added, cooks up thick all on its own! The first time I saw red lentils was in the States, one of those mixed bean packets that contain soup ingredients with a spice packet but I didn’t know what they were. Living in Israel, they are sold on their own in 500 gram packages […]
Flanken can be substituted but better you use the lamb. Don’t snoot the prunes, they add an incredible depth of flavor and umami yumminess and almost melt into the dish. This dish is ridiculously delicious and a bit exotic (not a bad thing) and surprisingly easy to make. When I served it to my brother […]
No added flour, mix it up in your food processor in one go! I am still recovering, not as you might be forgiven for thinking, from Rosh Hashana and all the prep involved but rather, with Gratitude (with a capital “G”) to G-d from the wedding of our youngest son Netanel to his beloved, Ayelet. […]
Not the regular toll house type of CCC, a good hard crunch in every bite! I think that most people I know, even if they claim to be on a strict diet, will unbend enough to eat a cookie. The thing is, I love chocolate chip cookies warm from the oven but after they harden, […]
