Salted Caramel Doughnuts
*In anticipation of Chanukah, (which starts on December 16th and lasts ’till the 24th!) I’ll be posting festive and holiday-worthy recipes all month long, starting with this recipe for doughnuts. Doughnuts! Is everyone else as obsessed with doughnuts as I am? And no, I’m not talking cake donuts (which are a doughnut’s seemingly virtuous yet incomparable counterpart). I…

Spiced S’more Tart
In the summer, we made s’mores. We were inventive- if there was no blazing campfire around, we’d use the flames from the stove. Another time, me and a friend made peanut butter s’more cookies late at night and ate them hot, while we sat outside in the warm night air. While we were reminiscing about…

Classic Chocolate Babka
There’s nothing (seriously, nothing) like a good chocolate babka. With a soft, brioche-like dough, cinnamon-spiced chocolate filling and beautiful, twisted shape, babka is basically the epitome of what dessert (or breakfast-shh, don’t tell) should be. That’s not to say I make it all the time; it takes a good four hours. But other than that,…

For The Love of Food
Everyone’s heard of Israel’s traditional fare, such as shwarma and hummus. If you’re lucky you’ve even gotten to taste some of it. But Israel’s eats have become a lot more varied as of late, and it’s not uncommon to find both new interpretations of old classics and completely exotic fusion dishes, as well. Just take…

Purple Plum Cake
It seems like lately I can’t get enough of fruit filled cakes- first this apple cake, and now this. But the truth is, besides for being delicious, they’re versatile like no other cake is, especially during fall, when you want cozy treats that can double as breakfast and dessert. This plum cake is one of…

Apple Walnut Cake
Since Rosh Hashana’s tomorrow night I’m sharing a recipe for Apple Walnut Cake, which perfectly suits the holiday. Rosh Hashana is when we celebrate the Jewish New Year and we have the custom of symbolically dipping an apple into honey for a sweet new year. It’s one of the things I look forward to every…

Spiced Pumpkin Scones
Scones, as you might well know by now, are my favorite breakfast pastry, and with good reason. Stuffed with fruit, crumbly or moist, and frosted or spiced, they can be made to fit any occasion, whether a fancy brunch or a mid-morning treat, While it isn’t really Fall yet, I made these pumpkin scones to…

Tomato, Nectarine and Corn Salad
Summer is the season for salad, and what could be more fitting than a salad composed of all of the season’s freshest produce? Here, I started with spinach as the base, for some green goodness that has a little more flavor than your average salad greens. Then, I roasted corn over a fire, which gave…

Sour Cream Poundcake with Grilled Peaches
Peaches are one of my favorite fruits, but I’m careful when buying them, as they’re fickle. As disappointing experience has taught me, when you buy them in the winter, or even early spring, they’re a ghost of what they can be; lackluster in both flavor and color. But come summer, and all their beautiful potential…

Triple Berry Pie
When it comes to quintessential summer desserts, my mind immediately jumps to pie. Full of fresh, seasonal fruit that turns deliciously soft and juicy, encased by a flaky, buttery pie-crust, what better way is there to end a barbecue? Or a picnic? None! So we make pie. We make it sweet and simple, with hints…
