Me, my mama and DH are totally obsessed with lamb (as are my bro Avi and SIL Diane) and since it’s a celebratory kind of dish, which while it might not take great effort but does take time, I save it for special occasions. Whenever we spot a sale on leg of lamb, we sock […]
I’m always looking for a quick way to prepare chicken, sometimes for a mid week meal, sometimes for Shabbat either as a starter or a main. This is a very simple but deeply flavorful way to prepare chicken giving you the option of serving it hot or cold. I particularly like to leave it to […]
DH and I had tasted this soup a number of times in different restaurants and loved the flavor, so I decided to copy it and make it at home. The roasting of the red peppers is an essential part of the flavor of the soup so you can’t skip it. For the roasting of the […]
My cousin Debbie (married to my cuz Eman), is one of those relatives you pray for. I know many people say you can’t choose your relatives, thank G-d you can choose your friends? Well I’d have chosen Debs every time. She and I have remained very close despite living far apart. Not long ago, DH […]
