Many years ago, DH and I were invited to a Thanksgiving dinner hosted in the David’s Citadel Hotel to a special tasting in the hotel’s kitchen. This was great fun for all of us who got the invite, but for me, the chance to watch the head chef in action and to get a few […]
I have made many versions of this lemon cake, which uses a syrup right after baking to enhance the lemony taste of the cake and after much experimentation over the years, I have come to particularly like this version. I went shopping with lemons in mind and to my delight, found that there was a […]
The stuffing is under the skin! Before DH and I made Aliyah, we came a few times on visits and my in-laws, of blessed memory, often were here with us. They had a few favorite places to go out to eat and one of them was an old fashioned Hungarian restaurant called Leah’s Rechavia. It […]
I love a good chiffon cake since it is the (IMHO) perfect blend between the more substantial butter type cake and the sponge type cake. It has the whipped egg whites for a lovely fluffy texture and yet there is oil in it so unlike angel food cake, it doesn’t have that somewhat dry texture. […]
So my son Netanel and I were running around together getting electrical appliances for him and his bride to be and after that (exciting yet tiring) venture, I told him I needed a few groceries (turned out to be a whole shopping – watching him whizz about and shop at the speed of light was […]
I love mushroom barley soup in all its permutations. I like it with meat (I have on the blog a corned beef version which is yum) but I find that you can make a very delicious meatless version as well. Often during the week DH and I prefer not to eat a meat meal every […]

Yes, yes, I have walking sticks and proper hiking shoes but don’t get excited, I’m no fearless rock climber. I’m a […]
I confess, as a child growing up, my mom, not a big baker, was not someone who would’ve ever made biscuits, but beyond that, biscuits were what you saw on television, not something you or your friends ate. You saw them in family shows, or people eating them in diners or in Southern cuisine. Your […]
I like sole primarily because it’s a fish which is mild and delicate in flavor so that even those who are not big fish fans tend to enjoy it and it can be easily stuffed. I find when you stuff sole, it remains moist even when you heat it on a warmer for Shabbat or […]
