Children, Israel, Food, Torah – things I love and talk about often!

  • Getting Back to Basics in the Kitchen

    Hi, everyone!   This morning, for all of us, crazy for cooking, I’ve decided to share this article from the online Tablet magazine.   Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

  • My Cookbook Collection. Take II

    These days we have such an abundance of on-line resources that one could ask – why books? And – why cookbooks in particular? This is not  question I ask myself ever. I LOVE books. And, I love cookbooks. At By now, not for recipes themselves, and not even for ideas I pick up to start…

  • A Nice Reminder of the Jewish Food Words

    I just couldn’t pass this by. Nosher, a project of the My Jewish Learning has published a mini-dictionary of words related to Jewish foods. Turns out that I knew them all (go me!) and made most of the great foods it talks about. Of course, there are a couple dishes like schlav or bamia that I wouldn’t…

  • Honey Cakes

      Apparently, this year honey cakes are a subject of debate, so I am sharing this Tablet article with you, my readers. I would love to hear what you have to say on this subject. What is your favorite honey cake? Do you even bother to make them and how often? As for me, this…

  • Another Day, Another Year

    So here we are, again, Ready (?) to stand in front of HaShem begging for mercy. אבינו מלךנו – our father, our king – we cry asking for a better year that the one passed. Somehow, the liturgy of the High Holidays always brings me to inner tears. I don’t think I am able to…

  • Just an Article About Jewish Food

    Right when I was giving a recipe for knafe, someone posted an old article from Forward, the paper that I read very rarely as I have lots of disagreements with its usual stand. This time, the article was about food, so I couldn’t possibly pass that over, especially that it was talking about foods mostly…

  • Quick and Delicious Dairy Ricotta Cheese Crostata

    I’ve been hooked lately on the Great British Baking Show on Netflix. I usually do not like to watch series specifically because it sucks me in, and then I have no time for anything else. So, my bad – I did get attached. On top of everything else – that English they speak! Watching the show,…

  • Summer Vegetarian Delights

    Summer is the best time to experiment with vegetables. It is, of course, easier to do if you live on the land, or in one of those countries like Israel, where everything tastes delicious. My digital nomad, daughter, currently in Croatia with RemoteYear is munching on red currants that we very rarely get here, for…

  • Poppy Seeds?

    There are some foods that divide the population into two parts. The fiercest division that I found so far is related to two foods that I love, but many people cannot stand: cilantro and poppy seeds. I use both all the time. I put cilantro, practically, everywhere – in salads, meats, roasted vegetables, etc. Some people say it…

  • Leftover Pesach Quick Shabbat Salmon

    I do not usually use mayonnaise, but for Pesach I buy a small jar that hangs around my fridge for a while. Neither do I buy chraine, but naturally, I had some leftovers after the Sedorim. So for this Shabbat, I’ve decided to put these two to a good use marinating salmon in it. So I mixed…
