About the Author

Chanukah Gift Guide: Female Foodie Finds
This Chanukah, support small foodie-focused businesses owned by Jewish women. Judith rounded up eight gifts that are sure to be a hit with food-loving family and friends.
The New Chanukah Miracle: An Air Fryer
Air fryers are all the rage now. Whether you got one on Black Friday or have had one for a while, Chanukah is a great time to pull it out.
Black Pepper Honey Fried Carrots
The miracle of Chanukah is alive in the air fryer, where a magical tiny amount of oil turns any vegetable or latke into a crispy fried treat. These carrots are sweet, spicy and the perfect crisp side to eight days of air-fried latkes.
Stuff Your Challah, Not a Turkey
Instead of overloading on the tryptophan before the big day, turn this year’s Friendsgiving into a big challah-baking party with lots of Thanksgiving inspo (think cranberry-stuffed challah).
“Wine” Not Honey Wine?
We’re used to putting honey on apples and challah and in cakes, but honey can also make its way onto our tables in the form of mead, a Viking drink experiencing a revival.
Farewell, Feta; Hello, Halloumi
Have you heard of halloumi? Long a favorite in Israel, this squidgy, chewy Greek cheese has a high melting point so you can fry it until it’s crispy outside and melty inside.
Tangy Turmeric Tomato Watermelon Salad
Say farewell to summer with this bright and refreshing salad. Juicy watermelon and tomatoes get paired with crispy fried halloumi and a vibrant turmeric-infused oil. The sweetness of the melon complements the spiced oil and salty-creamy halloumi. Feel free to swap in another summer fruit like peaches or plums for a twist on this salad.
Winding Summer Down with Watermelon
Don’t get us wrong—sliced watermelon is perfect, but did you know that it’s also great in soups, salads, cocktails and sweet treats? And you can even work wonders with the rind.
“Dyeing” to Tackle Food Waste
DC-area artist and workshop instructor Sophie Kanter tackles food waste—think avocado pits and turmeric—in a new and creative way: by turning it into dye for hand-dyed textiles.
