Cantuccini come from Tuscany: small, dry almond cookies, as crunchy as can be, and the best friend your fall and winter teas and coffees could ask for.
Here is a gorgeous fall cake with honey, apples and hazelnuts, so moist it’s dangerous. It’s perfect for Rosh Hashanah or Sukkot, and it’s parve.
Matzo ball soup, or kneidlach in Yiddish, is a great classic of Ashkenazi Jewish cooking. If you’re new to it, these are dumplings made from matzo meal, served in a lovely golden chicken broth. Simple to make and delicious, it’s a beautiful recipe to introduce you to Ashkenazi cooking and a magic remedy when you catch a cold.
An Israeli classic, bourekas are puff pastry triangles filled with a cheese filling. Eat them warm on the go, at a picnic, or with a big salad on the side.
A great classic of French cooking, beef bourguignon is exactly the kind of easy braise we all love: melt-in-your-mouth meat in a rich, velvety sauce. This kosher meat version is even better eaten the next day.
If, like me, you love fried eggplant but the thought of watching it soak up all that oil kills the craving, this oven-fried eggplant recipe is for you! Far less oil than deep-frying, for a result you could easily mistake for the real thing!
These ring-shaped honey cakes, fried and then dipped in honey syrup, are one of the best-known pastries on holiday tables, especially for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Today I’m sharing my family recipe for Tunisian yoyos.
A classic of French cooking as soon as fall arrives, this comforting mushroom and chestnut soup is the one to make when the temperatures start to drop.
Tournedos Rossini, a lovely name for this French specialty: a thick cut of beef tenderloin topped with a slice of seared foie gras and sometimes even shaved truffle, served on a pan-fried slice of bread with a Madeira sauce. A true celebration dish, here in a kosher (meat) version.
I love tarts and quiches and I love mushrooms. This week, wanting a change from my usual mushroom quiche, I came across a recipe from chef Ottolenghi, which inspired this one. I simplified it with what I had on hand and adapted it to our tastes, and everyone loved it. The tarragon and dill pairing goes beautifully with mushrooms and is what gives this tart its original flavor. The classic quiche filling (eggs + cream) is replaced here by a delicious mushroom cream (which, by the way, can be made dairy-free). I’ll let you discover it!
Who can resist a sfenj, those delicious ring-shaped Moroccan doughnuts rolled in sugar? Sfenj call for very few ingredients: a sort of bread dough with extra water, so it’s light, for a result that’s crispy and airy. They’re perfect for Hanukkah when you want a change from sufganiyot.
Homemade praline paste is child’s play to make. It’s made from hazelnuts and/or almonds, toasted first, then blended with caramel: a few pulses give you pralin (a crunchy praline crumb for decorating cakes), and blending longer gives you praliné, a smooth praline paste for filling and flavoring pastries.
Soup season is open! Here’s a mild, comforting pumpkin soup cooked with crème fraîche and finished with grated cheese. A kosher dairy classic.
It’s hard to get more comforting than this dish full of fall flavors. The polenta is made from very fine cornmeal, and its creaminess pairs perfectly with mushrooms. For a complete meal, I add a pan of sautéed mushrooms and a runny egg, all dusted with parmesan.
Today I’m sharing a recipe for delicious homemade bagels that are easy to make. Bagels have become hugely popular over the past few years, from street food chains all the way to restaurants that have added them to their menus. Yet bagels are nothing new: they were brought to the United States by Ashkenazi Jews who made them back home, especially in Poland. What sets them apart is their ring shape and the fact that they are boiled before being baked, which gives them that texture unlike any other bread.
