Labneh Basque Cheesecake with Sesame Poached Apricots
Hi! It’s been a little while. I’m back to share this cheesecake recipe with you in honor of Shavuot, which starts on Thursday evening. Shavuot might be one of my favorite holidays. Since I was young, my cousins and I have gone upstate to celebrate the Chag together. We make a beautiful menu full of…

Saffron Jeweled Rice
Friends! It’s almost Rosh Hashanah- the Jewish New Year, one of my favorite holidays- and I’m excited to be sharing this recipe for jeweled rice with you. It’s one I developed for a spice company a while back and when I realized I’d never shared it, I knew now was the perfect time. Iranian in…

Herby Whipped Ricotta with Peas and Garlic Scapes
Hello! Second week of June. What a joy. May was green, strawberries, flowers, lots of cooking, long days on set. June is shaping up to be much the same. Which is completely fine with me. I don’t have too many more things to say, other than: have you been to the market lately? You should…

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
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.

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
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
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
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…
