• 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. In honor of Shavuot, I made these beautiful little rugelach for The Nosher. Rugelach are a classic Jewish pastry, made…

• Berries and Cream Sponge Layer Cake

  

  A cake takes a lot out of me. It requires planning ahead: the softening of butter, the warming of eggs, the buying of ingredients. Often, I realize I am low on sugar, or an egg too short, once I have already started the mixer. Somehow, I always manage to dirty every utensil in the kitchen.…

• 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…

• Greens with Grapefruit, Olives and Parmesan

  Happy 2018, everyone! I know I’m a little late with that sentiment, but things have been busy around here; baking projects have been relegated to the backseat for a moment. However, I thought I’d share this salad with you, mostly so you don’t think my diet consists only of baked goods, but also because it’s…

• Spiced Whiskey Honey Cake with Whipped Mascarpone

  While making lists and going over menu ideas for this year’s Rosh Hashana meals, I was struck by how little relevance was given to the honey cake. Sure, it was on the menu- it’s too traditional to do away with, and there are always a few diehard honey cake fans who would raise a hell…

• Sour Cherry, Red Currant, Rye and Poppy Galette

  The changing of seasons makes me wistful. Have we come to the end already? Nights are already cool, mornings already crisp. The time seems to have slipped through my fingers and in my attempt to catch up with it, I am left grasping at air. I am worried that I will wake up and it…
