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,…

Orange Blossom Quince Tarte Tatin
a lesson from quince and all the other ugly fruit (the ones we skip in favor of dusty concords and burning apricots and the plums with verdant green interiors) a lesson to never judge a book by its cover- a fruit by its peel-? both. and, i never do- judge books by their cover. in…

Salted Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake with Maple Creme Fraiche
One day when I wake, the air is suddenly cold. I am confused until it starts to settle, bitingly, on my skin- then, I gasp and dive back under the covers. Only my dreams can save me. But work awaits. The alarm reads 4:30 and in half an hour, I will be at the bakery.…

Giant Concord Grape Hand Pie
Shana Tova from Israel! I am here for the year, studying and touring and eating lots of good food. I won’t be posting very often, but I’ll pop in once in a while to share a recipe or two and a couple of pictures and updates from this beautiful country. While I love lots of…

Concord Grape Muffins
It’s Monday! We need muffins. We need them jumbo, crunchy with sugared tops and moist with butter. And most of all, we need them filled with luscious Concord grapes! Have you ever had Concord grapes?

Apple Slab Pie
When it comes to pie, I’ve always been more of a filling girl. Sure, I love the contrast between a crisp, shattering crust and a soft, fruity filling. But if I had to choose between them, I’d definitely choose the filling. Hands down. Unfortunately, my family doesn’t agree with me on this point. They’re crust…

Salted Butter Apple Tarte Tatin
The first time. The butter puddles on top of the sugar. Is that normal? Is it??? The apple pieces are a mess. Was I supposed to cut them differently? Caramel splatters my arm.The puff pastry is rising unevenly. When I flip the tart, caramel runs all over the plate, all over the counter. The dough is instantly…

Acorn Squash, Pomegranate and Kale Salad
I’m always looking for interesting new salads and this one, which serves a crowd (a big plus!) is my new favorite. It takes a little longer to make than most chop-and-go salads, but the results are so worth it: the squash is caramelized and sweet, the kale adds freshness and crunch, the pomegranate seeds burst in…

Maple Glazed Apple Fritters
Do you have any kitchen fears? Is frying things one of them? If it is, it’s time to do away with that fear. Poof! Vanish it. Because while you sit worrying about oil splatters and fat intake and other nonsensical things like that, people all over the world are eating FRESH DOUGHNUTS. HOMEMADE. DOUGHNUTS!!! I…

An Apple A Day
Time slips by quickly and suddenly it is night, or tomorrow, or next week, or next year. Time slips by quickly and we are left spinning, thrown from its grasp and wondering if ever it will slow, if ever we can hold it. It doesn’t. So we grasp it ourselves. We run to catch up,…
