• 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…

• Raspberry Rhubarb Galette

  I held the pink stalks in my hands, wondering what to do with them. Should I make another jam? Roast them with honey? Use them to top a cake, maybe one with ricotta, frangipane? Possibilities stretched endless and I, wary of condemning the fruit to a trite, strawberried fate, dawdled. The rhubarb stalks, the ones…

• Rhubarb, Cinnamon & Lavender Breakfast Puffs

  I have to tell you something about rhubarb: it is my favorite. So much so that I planted rhubarb last spring, so much so that I even buy frozen rhubarb during the winter, so much so that when spring comes, and the stalks are pink, gleaming, I put it in everything.  Even in breakfast puffs. Breakfast…

• Six Impossible Things

  My birthday was two weeks ago, but between Purim, busy family events, and other celebrations, I’ve hardly had time to think about it. The actual day of my birthday was nice and calm: my mom and I went out for sushi and manicures, and a couple of days later, my friends and I went out…

• Six Impossible Things

  This past week has been pretty epic. The weather’s gorgeous, our Shavuos in the mountains with family (and friends) was beautiful, and the rhubarb that I started growing a mere two week ago is already sprouting. As always, I’m grateful for all the little things as well as the big, and Six Impossible Things is…

• Hazelnut Coffee Ice Cream Sandwiches

  Shavuos is basically the ultimate holiday. There are flowers, traditions to eat dairy that result in copious amounts of cheesecake, long, relaxed meals and beautiful weather to accompany it all. This year, as always, I was in charge of making dessert. I tried to think beyond the usual cheesecake (though that will definitely make an appearance)…

• Strawberry Yogurt Bowls with Homemade Granola

  Yogurt and granola is one of my favorite healthy breakfasts. It’s quick, filling, and requires no coordination when you’re running late and need to leave the house. Most mornings, I’ll usually just grab a Greek yogurt and toss in some packaged granola. But one weekend, with more time to spare and room for a little…

• Strawberry Buttermilk Scones

  No matter how big the box, whenever we have fresh strawberries in the house, they’re usually gone within a day. This time though, I set some strawberries aside to use in a recipe for scones that I’d bookmarked a couple of weeks back. Using the sweet, juicy strawberries, I made the scones over the weekend…

• 2nd Annual Spring Fete

  I can never resist a good party and all the more so when I’m throwing it! This year, my friends and I once again celebrated Spring with our 2nd Annual Spring Fete. Having done it once before, my vision for this year’s party was much clearer and it turned out exactly the way I wanted.…

• Baked Eggs with Snap Peas & Asparagus

  I’m constantly looking for new ways to update my breakfast routine and these baked eggs with snap peas and asparagus fit the bill. They’re filling, delicious and easy to put together; you can substitute vegetables like peppers and spinach for the asparagus and snap peas, but these are two of my personal favorites, and since…
