With infused oils it is important to only use well-dried herbs. Fresh garlic, peppers or herbs can hold water, which can cause food safety problems, so for infused oils please choose only dried materials. Vinegars are so acidic that don’t have the same problems, but I still think dried herbs serve best for infusing and…
My philosophy on Passover baked goods is to never use matzah meal or Passover cake meal. It makes everything taste like a “Passover Dessert.” I try to make desserts that just happen to be flourless, such as these cookies, pavlovas and flourless chocolate cakes. These are pareve and perfect for Passover, gluten-free/dairy-free/nut-free diets and for…
Kale’s popularity continues to rise, and for good reason. It’s both nutritious and delicious. This salad is perfectly balanced with roasted sweet potatoes, healthful kale, earthy nuts and bright, beautiful pomegranate seeds. Make sure you don’t skip the step of rubbing the kale leaves with a bit of olive oil. Just like we relax with…
At Dini’s, Beijing’s only kosher restaurant, the chefs cook authentic Chinese food along with traditional Jewish dishes and Western favorites that travelers expect (there’s a sushi bar, too). The restaurant is named for Dini Freundlich, the local Chabad shlicha. Local Chinese residents also enjoy eating at Dini’s because they feel that kosher food is safer…
Boxes of seeds are arriving in the mail now, and winter will not be here much longer. In the meantime, we are still working our way through crates of winter vegetables. We are “picking” sweet potatoes from crates piled in our house instead of the ground. And we are discovering the art of winter bakes…
Apple kugel is a great Rosh Hashanah tradition, but is honestly delicious year round. This grain-free version is sweetened only with local honey and makes a great alternative to its traditional counterpart.
Trust me, you want this stuff hanging around in your fridge. It is 1) one of the most delicious things you will ever put in your mouth and 2) seriously versatile. You can set it out during cocktail hour with crackers and cheese, bake it into cookies, mix it with a ton of almond or…
In the years that I’ve been developing and writing recipes, I’ve made a number that have been really popular, some of which you can find in my book. None, however, have been as iconic and popular as my Hot Gooey Caramel Pie. When trying to figure out why this recipe took off so well, I…
This magnificent magenta salad is packed with vitamins, minerals, and almost everything else you need. Each ingredient has its place: something crunchy, something smooth, something tangy, something sweet, something leafy. Perfect! You can prepare the components up to a day in advance and then assemble when ready to serve.
Latkes are my favorite winter tradition. Four years ago, I threw a Chanukah party in India. I grated potatoes with three friends, two knifes and one hand peeler. We poked holes into a bottle gourd for a menorah. We covered the floors with newspaper to soak up the grease. We left the door open in…
