Hummus with Tahini - Basic Recipe

Hummus - chickpea purée - is one of Israel’s national dishes. You’ll find dozens of varieties in restaurants (some - called Houmoussia - serve only that!) but it’s so quick to make that I encourage you to try it at home. Here’s a classic version of hummus with tahini as we eat it here.

Egg Salad - Kosher English-Style

I discovered this egg salad in London, where the English traditionally eat it in sandwiches. I absolutely love this salad - it’s more flavorful than our classic egg-mayo thanks to the addition of green onions and mustard. I also add a finely minced shallot, and it’s always devoured in moments, even by the kids. You can enjoy it on bread, challah, or use it to fill appetizer bites.

Ashkenazi Stuffed Cabbage - Gefilte Kroyt

Stuffed cabbage is a charming, old-fashioned dish that belongs to the family of comforting home-cooked meals. I discovered it in Israel where it’s deeply rooted in home cooking, an Ashkenazi heritage recipe. It has many cousins as stuffed dishes of all kinds are part of Jewish culinary tradition.
