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.…

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…

Tomato & Zucchini Cobbler with Gruyere and Thyme Biscuits
We’re making savory cobbler! Why let fruit have all the fun? This one’s quick, easy and full of flavor. The best kinds of cobbler are. We start with the filling: sliced zucchini, yellow summer squash and halved cherry tomatoes are combined with fresh thyme, salt, pepper and olive oil for lusciousness. A little bit of…

White Peach, Gooseberry and Spelt Pie
To bottle summer- to capture its fleeting spirit- pie. Always pie. It starts with a good, flaky crust. It contains the prettiest of summer’s bounty. Hopefully, maybe if you are lucky, it is made at dusk, when the air is thick and the fireflies are dancing. Maybe, if you are like me, a midnight baker,…

Buttery Dinner Rolls
It’s November! Welcome, morning frost and fresh cranberries. Welcome, soup and tea and nights-that-are-dark-too-early. Welcome, month of pies and all things good! This year, I’m hosting a Friendsgiving gathering at my house. We’re doing away with a lot of the traditional Thanksgiving foods, like turkey and stuffing, (mostly because we are teenage girls and there…

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…

Roasted Blackberry Apricot Ice Cream
The blackberries were on sale. Big boxes of them, full of ripe fruit- a sure sign of the advent of summer. They were calling to us, singing a song of green fields and sun, and their dark, midnight sheen was bewitching. We bought two cartons. “I bet we finish one box on the way home,”…

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…
