Mushroom Tart with Tarragon and Dill (Ottolenghi-Inspired)
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!


Homemade Bagels - New York Style Bagels
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.

Fish Kefta - Tunisian Fried Fish Patties
Keftas are a type of fish ball, and what makes them special is their slightly flattened shape and the fact that they are fried. Enjoy them as an appetizer or alongside a fish couscous.
