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 […]

Strawberry Sour Cream Rugelach
Hi everyone! How are you all enjoying this Spring weather? The weather and the flowers make me giddy every year, but I also love that the advent of Spring means Shavuot is right around the corner.

Classic Cinnamon Buns
Lately, I think about the transience of life and fear hits me, hard. Every breath I take feels measured, numbered, and I want to fill every moment with every thing. Time wasted hurts in a way that makes me think what are you doing? Live. You have no assurance for tomorrow, or even the rest of […]

Cranberry Clementine Jam Pound Cake
Creaming butter into sugar is like watching alchemy happen. The butter starts out distinct. Fatty. Yellow. Chunky. The sugar is fine. Sweet, sweeping sand.

For me, summer desserts have to fit a few criteria. First off: they better be worth turning on the oven for. Second: if you don’t need to […]

Brown Butter Date Blondies
Hi, everyone. How are you all? I can’t believe the last time I posted here was months ago. It was last year! I apologize. I thought I’d have much more time and opportunity to blog here in Israel, but sadly, I have next to none. Oh, well. I come bearing luxury blondies! Apology accepted? Winter […]

Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
Can you believe it’s already August? I feel like I’m still processing July, yet here we are- beginning the second half of summer. To be honest, it hasn’t felt much like summer to me. My time has been so taken up with work, living in Brooklyn and dealing with one thing after another, that there […]

Strawberry Spelt Shortcakes
Who doesn’t love a good shortcake? Whenever I make them, they’re adored by everyone, and gone in a flash. Thankfully, they couldn’t be simpler to make: the biscuits come together with a quick pat of butter and a pour of cream and the seasonal fruit is showcased simply, gussied up with only a bit of […]
