    Crispy Skillet Chicken with Leeks, Shallots and New Potatoes

    Crispy Skillet Chicken with Leeks, Shallots and New Potatoes

    Passover starts this Friday! I’ll spare you a soliloquy about the meaning of the holiday and how I cook and prepare for it- mostly because you can find that on other posts on this blog. (But also because you’re just here for the recipe. I totally get it.) This is one of my favorite dishes […]

    Simplest Almond Torte with Strawberry Rhubarb Compote

    Simplest Almond Torte with Strawberry Rhubarb Compote

    Baking for Passover seems to fill a lot of people with dread. And I get it- when gluten and grains are off-limits, baking can get challenging. But the truth is, Passover baking doesn’t have to be complicated or produce second-rate results. Some of my favorite desserts are the ones I make for Pesach. The trick? […]

    Salted Rye and Poppy Seed Hamantaschen

    Salted Rye and Poppy Seed Hamantaschen

    There are two kinds of people in this world: those who like poppy seed hamantaschen and those who don’t. I am strictly in the former camp. To me, poppy seed hamantaschen are the most authentic kind of hamantaschen. They’re the ones I think of when I think of Purim, and they’re the ones I make […]

    Kabocha Squash, Tahini and Olive Oil Loaf Cake

    Kabocha Squash, Tahini and Olive Oil Loaf Cake

    A few weeks ago, I was experimenting in the kitchen before Shabbat and uploaded a snap of a cake I’d made to Instagram. It was a loaf cake, an odds-and-ends kind of thing, made with the remainder of a can of pumpkin, a mixture of the oat and buckwheat flours I had in my pantry, […]

    Rye, Hazelnut and Pink Pearl Apple Cake

    Rye, Hazelnut and Pink Pearl Apple Cake

    Hello from New York City, where the weather is slowly turning cooler and the brisk pace of Fall is setting in. If you are a longtime reader of this blog, you’ll know I have complicated feelings about this season. It’s a moody one, just like me, and it often leaves me a little sad and […]

    Vegan Almond Fudge Cake

    Vegan Almond Fudge Cake

    Here is a very simple, very fudgy chocolate almond cake that happens to be vegan and refined sugar free. It is also made in one bowl. And it is also, perhaps most importantly, kosher for Passover. All the good things! I like this cake because it’s super adaptable. During the year, you can make it […]

    Marbled Tahini Hamantaschen

    Marbled Tahini Hamantaschen

    Hi! I know it’s been a while. I’m writing from Israel. I moved here in October and am still settling into my life here- juggling school, a new language, new responsibilities and freelance work. It’s a lot. It’s good. It’s hectic. OK, yalla, let’s skip the pleasantries and talk Purim. Purim was my favorite holiday […]

    Shwarma Chicken Kebabs

    Shwarma Chicken Kebabs

    When you think of kebabs, you might think of veggie-laden skewers with dry cubes of chicken- in other words, not the most exciting offering at the cookout. But there’s a lot more to kebabs- which are generally defined as small cubes of skewered meat cooked over fire- than you might think. In fact, roasting meat […]

    Chickpea Hawaij Confit

    Anyway, here we are. You’ve read the news. You don’t need me to tell you anything. You don’t need me to talk about “the new normal”. God, I hate that phrase. You don’t need me to ask how you’ve been doing. Someone’s asked already, everyone has. I know. You’ve made banana bread. You’re thinking about tackling sourdough. […]

    Quarantine Buns

    I couldn’t think of a title for these. Chocolate buns? Iced buns? These-aren’t-what-they-were-supposed-to-be buns? Because these weren’t supposed to be chocolate buns. They were going to be cinnamon buns, right up until I rolled out the dough, went to make the filling and realized I was out of both brown sugar and cream cheese. On […]
