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…

Herbed Wild Salmon with Roasted Summer Vegetables
My new job as a baker means lots of new side effects! Here are some of them: 1. Muscles! Whereas I couldn’t even lift one initially, I can now carry 50 lb. bags of flour across a room without breaking a sweat. Progress! 2. Back pain! Or stiff joints/tense shoulders/tense everything. Professional baking is like…

Labneh Mousse and Olive Oil Tart with Cardamom Figs
Hi, everyone! Here’s a recipe I wrote up for The Nosher, an awesome, Jewish/Israeli food mashup site I occasionally write for. You can get the full recipe there! For me, summer desserts have to fit a few criteria. First off: they better be worth turning on the oven for. Second: if you don’t need to…

Boozy Cherry Apricot Pop Tarts
It’s a busy Friday and my mom and I are in the kitchen, preparing for Shabbos. Various pots are bubbling on different stoves, both ovens are full. The countertops are packed with ingredients- half a lemon, herbs strewn everywhere, carrot peels making a mountain. It’s hot, although the windows are open, and I am ready…

Lemon Glazed Blueberry Poppy Seed Cakes
Hi there! It’s been a busy week, but I’m popping in to share this quick cake recipe. Being that we’re almost at Passover (it’s next Friday night!) I thought I’d save this for after the holidays, but the truth is, it’s just too good to push off. So I hope you’ll forgive me for tempting…

Blueberry Cheese Danishes
Everyone wants to know why I’m making cheese danishes. They make comments like “Wow, so much butter!” or “These are a little more involved than brownies, aren’t they?” Yes. Yes, they are. And no, I don’t have a reason for these, other than: it’s February. It’s snowy and cold. And there’s butter in the fridge.…

Brûléed Lemon Curd Olive Oil Tart
I can’t believe Chanukah is almost over! Tonight’s night number six. Crazy, isn’t it? Only two more days left until my yearly eat-as-much-fried-food-as-you-want pass is up! I’m spending this weekend in Brooklyn with my extended family and bringing this tart along. So many people think that Chanukah is all about doughnuts and latkes (and don’t get…

Lemon & Lilac Cake
I was standing in my friend’s garden one day, appreciatively inhaling the scent of her fully-in bloom lilac blush, when another friend mentioned that as a kid, she used to eat lilacs. “Really?” I asked. “Lilacs are edible?” “Yes!” she said. “There’s a drop of honey at the stem of each flower, and as kids,…

Blackened Salmon with Parsley Powder and Purple Cabbage Slaw
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…
