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. […]

So delicious, it should be illegal. This is a two-fer recipe. You get the chicken and you get a mix of potatoes and sweet potatoes which shamefully cook in the drippings from the chicken giving them an incredible flavor and the combo of paprika, thyme and honey will set your mouth into a tingle of […]
Comfort Food At Its Best There are some dishes that never go out of style, exactly because they soothe the soul on some deep level. I find meatloaf to be one such dish. I have played around with it over time and I have found a recipe that is both rich in flavor and equally […]
Fastest Side Dish Around I was in a hurry to prepare a side dish, I already had fresh cooked tuna awaiting me and I didn’t have the time for burgul, potatoes or rice. I racked my brain and suddenly remembered I’d bought a packet of couscous awhile ago and it lay languishing in the cupboard. […]
