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…

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? Why did none of my attempts at writing result in anything other than a blank page? How come any painting…

Blood Orange and Saffron Semolina Upside Down Cake
I created this simple, pretty upside down cake for The Nosher, and it’s perfect for February: made with seasonal blood oranges, sweet, floral saffron and nutty semolina flour which gives it a moist, hefty crumb and makes it perfect for a cup of tea. You can learn more about saffron, see how I utilize blood…

Brown Butter Date Blondies
Hi, everyone. How are you all? I can’t believe the last time I posted here was months ago. It was last year! I apologize. I thought I’d have much more time and opportunity to blog here in Israel, but sadly, I have next to none. Oh, well. I come bearing luxury blondies! Apology accepted? Winter…

Egg and Vegetable Breakfast Wrap
Breakfast is a meal that most people tend to skip, or at the very least, skimp on, downing a quick bowl of sugary cereal or a steaming mug of coffee on the go. And while I get that mornings are busy, and that there’s not exactly time to assemble the sort of glorious brunch spread…

Six Impossible Things
Last week was one of those weeks when everything just aligned. I organized my room, made a pile of clothing to donate, and did a little DIY project to spruce things up. I also finally got Tartine’s bread book, a dutch oven and a kitchen scale, and with those implements, succeeded in making amazing sourdough…
