My mother, Evelyn (Grandma Evie or Grandma E to her grandchildren), made a great tzimmes. As a child, I loved it, but as I got older and tasted it with a different palate and the opinions of my husband and kids, I revisited her recipe to make it more Bazil-family friendly and found that I…
For decades, Nina and Leon Merrick have brought not just a freshly baked cake to meals, but also countless stories of Poland, Ukraine, Russia and extended family across the globe—all peppered with the underlying strength, determination and calmness about the calamities they have survived. Despite it all, they exude joy and warmth—just like this modest,…
When learning about reducing kitchen waste a few years ago, I read the book Waste Free Kitchen Handbook. There is a suggestion to keep food scraps like chicken bones, onion ends, carrot, turnip, celery and other vegetable peels and scraps in a bag in the freezer. When the bag fills up, you simply toss everything…
Whenever I think of gefilte fish, I think of the Japanese version of fish cakes that I grew up with: kamaboko. Coincidentally, when you search for “gefilte fish” online, kamaboko also shows up as one of the few other similar fish cake dishes in the world (and vice versa). Kamaboko is a cured and processed seafood…
Traditional flavors of tomatoes, onions, and garlic meet nontraditional smoked salt and chipotle pepper for a spectacular smoky and spicy vegetarian version of black-eyed peas—a symbolic Rosh Hashanah food in some Sephardic Jewish communities. A dollop of labneh (optional) nicely unites the flavors and nods to the stew’s Middle Eastern roots. Serve as a side…
SAF Instant yeast can be purchased online. It is the same as rapid rise yeast, but different from active dry yeast that’s sold in supermarkets. Active dry yeast is an unreliable substitute for this recipe. If you do not have a stand mixer, scale the recipe down to two-thirds of the weight and make three loaves…

I use healthy, clean ingredients in all my recipes whenever possible. This dish is particularly popular among my clients (it was one of Pierce Brosnan’s favorites!).
I developed this recipe for Beaver Creek WinterFest. We were serving buffalo, and I remembered the first time I had had tzimmes at a restaurant in DC years before. It was a simple dish—dates with sweet potatoes and the carrots—and I thought, Oh, I’ve never had this before and people said, “That’s tzimmes.” It was…
These carrots make an excellent side dish for your Passover seder! Both sweet and spicy, they offer something for everyone. Omit the chickpeas if you do not eat kitniyot.
