Saffron Jeweled Rice
Friends! It’s almost Rosh Hashanah- the Jewish New Year, one of my favorite holidays- and I’m excited to be sharing this recipe for jeweled rice with you. It’s one I developed for a spice company a while back and when I realized I’d never shared it, I knew now was the perfect time. Iranian in […]

Crispy Skillet Chicken with Leeks, Shallots and New Potatoes
Passover starts this Friday! I’ll spare you a soliloquy about the meaning of the holiday and how I cook and prepare for it- mostly because you can find that on other posts on this blog. (But also because you’re just here for the recipe. I totally get it.) This is one of my favorite dishes […]

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? […]

Salted Rye and Poppy Seed Hamantaschen
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who like poppy seed hamantaschen and those who don’t. I am strictly in the former camp. To me, poppy seed hamantaschen are the most authentic kind of hamantaschen. They’re the ones I think of when I think of Purim, and they’re the ones I make […]

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, […]

Vegan Almond Fudge Cake
Here is a very simple, very fudgy chocolate almond cake that happens to be vegan and refined sugar free. It is also made in one bowl. And it is also, perhaps most importantly, kosher for Passover. All the good things! I like this cake because it’s super adaptable. During the year, you can make it […]

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 […]

Almond and Raspberry Linzer Cookies
i love love. i love the warmth of it, the way it wraps you in its sun; how it could be raining, it could be snowing, but that sun will keep you warm, and radiating with enough heat to warm everyone near you. i love the feel of it: thrilling, electric, a shock current, and […]

Salted Tahini Rye Brownies
I went to Peru for a month with my friends! It was magical. Beautiful. Cold. Hot. Challenging, scary at times, exhilarating always. I lived out of a backpack. I had three dresses, one pair of boots, a sweater, socks and leggings. And for food: tuna, cans of sardines, boxes of granola bars and bags of […]

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 […]
