This dish is one of my favorite noshes. This is not to be confused with cooked olives (another thing I adore) and is ridiculously simple and delish. This too is one of Paulette’s recipes although it is a do as you like one with spicing. Beware! Danger danger, they are addictive – you were warned. […]
While I am an inveterate coffee drinker and proud of it, there are times when coffee just won’t do and I just need that cup of tea. This is mostly after a meat meal since for me coffee without milk is a non-starter and PLEASE people, let’s not pretend soy milk/cream can cut it. Or […]
Growing up in the USA, eggplant was a weird veggie nobody I knew ate or knew how to cook. Even when our family went out to eat in an “Israeli restaurant” over 40 years ago, no one in the family would’ve ordered the eggplant in any shape or form. When in college, eggplant parmigiana became […]
I gotta admit, these are a bit of an obsession with me. I’ve tried many many versions of date nut bread/cake/muffins and they came out either too heavy or too light. I messed around with them till my youngest son, Netanel, complained – can’t we have a different kind Mom? He’s not a fruit based […]

Okay, so it’s not exactly my MIL’s recipe anymore since I’ve tweaked it a bit but she was the one who started me off on making my own g. fish for holidays and the occasional Shabbat. I won’t lie, this is a bit of a patchka (fuss). It tastes unlike any of those frozen loaves […]
I make this soup all during the year including on Passover. It is a simple enough recipe and delivers a rich stock. The best parts are (1) no fat to skim off (turkey neck is virtually fatless) and (2) the delectable necks themselves which you really can only serve when it’s family (or REALLY close […]
So in the course of leaving nothing to eat in our house, I mean using up chametz ingredients 🙂 I discovered that I’d purchased 4 packages of bulgur. You know how you think you have none left and toss one more package into your cart? Well, I did it 4 times, count ’em. Sigh. No […]
There is nothing quite like the scent of freshly baking challah wafting through your kitchen. It goes beyond bread baking and satisfies something deep in your soul. I have been baking challah almost since I became a bride lo these 40 + years ago. I think many people are intimidated by making yeast breads in […]
