• Sesame Braised Chicken with Squash and Chard

  Dinners around here tend to be simple: roast chicken and potatoes, salmon with vegetables and rice, that sort of thing. There’s always a protein, some sort of carb and plenty of greens and vegetables, and the preparation’s always easy- we roast and grill a lot. But sometimes I come across a recipe that makes me…

• Beef Bourguignon Pot Pie

  Happy 2016, everyone! I know my new year sentiments are a bit late, but I was in Costa Rica this past week (more on that soon!) and only now do I have the chance to wish everyone an amazing, successful new year. Bring it 2016! Let’s do this! I think January is the sort of month that…

• Honey and Za’atar Roasted Carrots with Cumin Aioli

  The problem with holiday meals is that the classics can get old, fast. The brisket is repetitive, the honey cake’s too dry, and the elaborate dishes you once thought were new and exciting are suddenly, due to the realities of life, too time consuming to attempt. To remedy that, here are these carrots. Carrots are…

• Eggplant & Tomato Jam

  I am going to hazard a guess and say that right now, in the dead of August, you are probably not interested in a recipe that involves a lot of time in the kitchen, especially time that is spent frying, blanching, peeling and simmering. I know. Neither am I. But the thing is, when I…

• Bourbon BBQ Beef Ribs with Cucumber Vinegar Slaw

  It’s almost the 4th of July- AKA, barbecue season! Do we agree that barbecues are the perfect meal, the only way to celebrate summer? Yes? Good! Let’s begin. What do your barbecues look like? Are they a carnivorous feast? Do you dole out fat slices of watermelon as guests arrive? We usually begin with lots of…

• Steak Tacos with Parsley + Radish Salsa & Lime Guacamole

  In Israel, my dinner of choice was shwarma from a tiny shop near our apartment. They piled their sandwiches with roasted eggplant, fiery s’chug, french fries, onions, hummus, cabbage, salad and tahini, and although it took serious effort to stay clean while eating, boy, was that a sandwich. Since then, I’ve been in love with the concept…

• Blackened Salmon with Parsley Powder and Purple Cabbage Slaw

  My love of baking is well documented on this blog, as nearly every single recipe I post is dessert. But slowly (thanks to many Top Chef episodes watched with my mom) my appreciation for cooking is blossoming too, and I’ve begun to enjoy the process as much as I enjoy baking. One of the things that…
