• 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 […]

• Strawberry Brioches with Orange Almond Cream

  It’s Spring! Well, not really. There’s not a flower in sight, and the trees are as bare as ever. But it’s starting. Slowly. I’ve begun to hear the faint chirping of birds again, music to my ears, and one morning when I stepped out, it was misty and cool and it felt like Spring was […]

• Salted Chocolate Tahini Tarts

I’d discovered that it was good for more than just drizzling over falafel, and for some still unfathomable reason, I deemed it necessary to put it on everything, in everything.

• 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. […]
