Always Room On The Shabbos Table
It's time for the next chapter in the re-education of kosher cooks. First came correctly pronouncing quinoa, incorporating edamame into salads and soups, and who can forget the strawberry mango salad? Now, there is a mass of new recipes available with the introduction of Kolatin, a parve bovine-based, kosher gelatin. Espresso panna cotta, here we come.
Chanukah
Cooking according to Chanukah tradition doesn’t have to be boring! Though it’s unlikely that any Maccabee ever saw a potato, latkes are traditionally made with potatoes and that particular “traditional” dish is based on a South American tuber that didn’t cross the Atlantic until the sixteenth century.
Sukkos Delight
I am obsessed with Trader Joe’s chili lime seasoning. Most, if not all, of the Trader Joe’s spices are under the OU, and are just amazing.
Winter Soup with Homemade Croutons
The amazing thing about a pureed soup is that it is pretty hard to mess up.
Hamantasch Wars
While purists insist on traditional fillings, others are reinventing and loading them up with goodies ranging from s’mores to baklava to pulled brisket and even spinach and cheese.
The Chabad Cookbook – The Most Prized in My Collection
I collect cookbooks the way other people collect coins, shot glasses, or miniature teaspoons.
Kids In The Kitchen: Chanukah
Try these with your kids; there’s something for every age group and once all the recipes are made, dinner will be ready!
New Cookbooks Spark Kitchen Creativity
Given the subject matter, it seems appropriate for this cookbook to open with a chapter on food safety since giving your family food poisoning by feeding them spoiled ingredients is definitely something to be avoided.
Simple Plank-Roasted Salmon With Herbs
Ingredients:
Four 6 oz good quality salmon showing good color,
and clear marbling, skin on
Salmon Marinade
5 oz balsamic vinegar

Instant Countertop Cooking
For those of you who have never cooked in a pressure cooker, it helps to back up a little and understand why they work as well as they do.
Cooking With Tantrums: Esty Wolbe
It was kind of a joke, recalled Esty. We never really expected it to turn into anything. If we had a family barbeque we would post pictures and I would share recipes when I ate something really good, but that was pretty much about it.
Wrapping Up An Iconic Cookbook Series
Lest you think that this entire book is about decadent recipes that will wreak havoc with your diet, there are plenty of offerings to make even your nutritionist smile.
Refreshing and Healthy Pesach Meals
With our focus now turned to the upcoming Pesach holiday, I wanted to share with you some lighter and healthier meal ideas. We have some baked, not fried eggplant, low-carb “rice” created in a unique way, a nice salad and a refreshingly light dessert. I hope this will enhance your Pesach and bring you many nice compliments.
Third Time’s The Charm
There is nothing like cracking open a fresh new cookbook, the pages still pristine and crisp and wondering what surprises are about to jump off the pages and leap onto your serving platters as they wait to be carried to your table and devoured.
Baked Falafel Latkes With Tahini
Because it is a tried and true favorite, I decided to shake up the recipe a bit to create a healthier and more festive Chanukah feel.
Succulent Chicken with Squash
It’s coming before we know it! I’m not worried, because I’ll use some of my favorite go-to dishes such as my succulent chicken with squash recipe.
Yom Tov Recipes
Last year, OneFamily published a cookbook in Hebrew featuring the bereaved mothers’ recipes.
‘Chips Ahoy’
Wow! Did you hear that? - A huge sigh of relief from all the women who have finished putting away the last platter of food from Yom Tov!
One – Skillet Suppers
The all-purpose stovetop to oven skillet is a kitchen essential. Mine works overtime and never lets me down. My skillet and a pair of tongs turn out delicious dinners for my family. Here are three special skillet suppers:
Thanksgiving Dinner
Brining A Turkey
Turkey is a mild-flavored meat that easily dries out during cooking. Brining a turkey - basically, bathing in salt water, sugar...
CHIC Made Simple: Fashionably Fabulous Food Without The Fuss
Goodbye humdrum. Hello, gorgeous!!
With the release of CHIC Made Simple, an all new cookbook written by food stylist, columnist and recipe developer Esther Deutsch, kosher food continues to blaze new trails, offering sophisticated, appealing recipes that are, (surprise, surprise!) both delicious and deceptively easy to prepare.
A Taste of The Middle East
As an American of Sephardic heritage, I was raised on the mouth-watering delicious foods that define Middle Eastern fare. For as far back as I can remember the kitchen has been my comfort zone. Whipping up culinary creations to please the palates of an Ashkenazic husband, Sephardic kin, fussy kids, and guests who frequent our dinner table can be quite challenging, but at the same time tremendously satisfying.
Simple Home Cooking
Welcome to Part III – what to do with the cooked chicken. Our job is to rehydrate it, change the way it looks, and, at times, hide it using dough, eggs, mayonnaise, or sauce. I have found that making up fancy names for the dish not only adds flair, but will help your family know what to ask for next time. Unless otherwise stated these recipes serve 4-6 people. (Note: Though we use the word chicken – each recipe works just as well with meat or turkey.)
Salt Of The Earth
With all of those different salts, the question remains – do any of them actually taste any different?
Balsamic Glazed Salmon
There’s just something so beautiful and special about serving the entire side for everyone to dig into and share.
Gazpachos for Beth
Gazpachos are also a good idea for the days before the 9th of Av, since many don’t eat meat and it’s quite hot outside.
Kosher In The Kitch
My son will request hamantaschen like most kids ask for chocolate chip cookies. It’s his favorite treat and he refuses to wait for Purim to eat them.
