Simplest Almond Torte with Strawberry Rhubarb Compote
Baking for Passover seems to fill a lot of people with dread. And I get it- when gluten and grains are off-limits, baking can get challenging. But the truth is, Passover baking doesn’t have to be complicated or produce second-rate results. Some of my favorite desserts are the ones I make for Pesach. The trick?…

Herby Quinoa with Roasted Carrots, Pomegranate, and Pistachios + A Passover Guide
It’s easy to view Passover as a burden. With grains, rice, and even seeds and legumes completely verboten*, the restrictions can feel overwhelming and the options few. But instead of viewing the eight day holiday with dread of deprivation, I view it as a time to rediscover basics. To pare back, to simplify and to…

Strawberry Rosé Pops
What is up with this New York heat?! These past few days have been the kind of weather that makes me want to wear as little clothing as possible and also do as little as possible. I just want to live in an ice cold swimming pool and maybe eat some ice cubes. OK, I…

Pavlovas with Lemon Curd & Citrus
The past few weeks, my creativity, something I’d never given much thought to, demanded attention. Truthfully, it didn’t demand attention so much as seemingly vanish from existence: why couldn’t I think of a single thing to bake?

Oat and Cottage Cheese Pancakes with Maple Berries

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…

{Gluten Free} Triple Chocolate Almond Biscotti + An Anecdote
“Let’s bake!” I tell my little sister and she runs right up, beaming. It’s not often that I invite her to work with me; I prefer to bake in solitude, keeping the messes small and the techniques flawless. But today, I want to spend time with her. I will not care about any spilled milk,…

Classic Chocolate Mousse
My memories of Passover desserts involve dry cakes, crumbly ladyfingers and ubiquitous boxes of macaroons- the chewy, coconut type, not the trendy french ones. As a kid, I kind of dreaded the whole holiday and by the end of the eight days, I was usually desperate for some sort of gluten. But as I got…

English Toffee
Every year before Passover I’m on the lookout for holiday worthy desserts that don’t require flour but still taste delicious. This year, on a recent caramel kick, I decided to make english toffee. It requires only six simple ingredients and couldn’t be easier to make. Sugar is melted in a pan, butter is added, and…
