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…

Chocolate and Honey Fig Cake
My grandparents have a fig tree near their garden in Switzerland. It is large, impassive to the treasures it holds, entrancing. Its leaves, elegant and waving green, shade little purple parcels of fig. It takes a measure of patience to watch the fruit ripen. When it does, it is perfect: floral, woodsy, dusk-colored and heady.…

Chocolate Cappuccino Cheesecake Bars
I like cheesecake bars. They’ve got all the creamy-ness of a big round cheesecake, but require less effort. They serve a crowd. They’re lowkey, but they don’t look it. So! Let’s talk about these! These cheesecake bars came about on a whim. I wanted to make coffee cheesecake but I didn’t want to make a big…

Salted Chocolate Rye and Vanilla Bean Olive Oil Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ice cream wars! Who else had them as a kid? Chocolate or vanilla! Strawberry or chocolate, vanilla or both?! I always chose chocolate, and I got a fair amount of flack for it. But vanilla never held a candle to chocolate for me. It was boring, tasteless and way too basic. I’m still not much…

Salted Chocolate Tahini Tarts
Around two years ago, I went through a phase where I was seriously obsessed with tahini. I’d discovered that it was good for more than just drizzling over falafel, and for some still unfathomable reason, I deemed it necessary to put it on everything, in everything. I mixed it with honey and and yogurt. I poured it…

Blood Orange, Cacao Nib and Einkorn Scones
I have always loved the blend of oranges and chocolate; oranges are a sweet and lightly perfumed companion to classy dark chocolate and together, they are an elegant combination of flavors. Here, I decided to use a seasonal variation of that combination- blood oranges and cacao nibs- and put them in my favorite flaky scone…

Chocolate Pavlovas With Lavender Cream & Strawberries
Exciting news: I chewed today! For the first time in two months! As soon as my doctor gave me the go-ahead, I started thinking of what I’d have first: sushi? Pizza? God, I’d been dreaming of pizza. But he quickly brought me back down to earth. I have to start with soft foods as my…

Key Lime Pie Pops
It’s almost Shavuos! Shavuos, with cheesecake, flowers, more cheese-things and lazy days. Also, Shavuos with heat. So. Much. Heat! Although Shavuos is one of my favorite holidays, the weather doesn’t usually cooperate. And by that I mean: it’s unbearably, record-bustingly hot. It’s almost as if the entire month is filled with tauntingly gorgeous weather, and then…
