Homemade Bagels - New York Style Bagel
I’m sharing today a recipe for delicious homemade bagels that are easy to make. Bagels have become very trendy in recent years, appearing everywhere from street food chains to restaurant menus. Yet bagels aren’t new at all - they were brought to the United States by Ashkenazi Jews who prepared them, particularly in Poland. They’re characterized by their ring shape and being boiled before baking, which gives them their unique texture, different from other breads.

No-Bake Kosher Cheesecake
As Shavuot approaches, I’m adding a new easy cheesecake here, the no-bake cheesecake. It features a cookie crust topped with a very fresh cream cheese layer, egg-free, and is a variation of the traditional Ashkenazi baked cheesecake. You’ll find this cake everywhere in Israel—here’s the recipe to make it at home.

Passion Fruit Salmon Tartare
If you’ve browsed Pita & Chocolat before, you’ve probably noticed I love fish tartares. I’ve shared my mango tuna tartare, and my pani puri with tuna and salmon tartare. Today I’m adding a newcomer to the collection with an unusual fruit. What’s great about these appetizers is that they’re simple, festive, and beautifully presentable all at once.





Fig, Goat Cheese and Honey Cake
Fig season is here and it’s short, so make the most of it! We don’t always think of figs in savory dishes, so here’s a delicious and indulgent fall meal idea to change from the usual recipes. This savory fig, goat cheese and honey cake will be perfect with an endive salad. If you’re having a brunch these days, think of it too.


Homemade Blinis
An easy and delicious recipe for the famous Russian blinis. They’re thick and wonderfully fluffy. You’ll never buy store-bought blinis again!




Italian-Style Roasted and Marinated Vegetable Antipasti
Roasted and marinated vegetable antipasti are a cornerstone of Italian starters. Colorful and flavorful, they can also be served as a side dish alongside beef carpaccio or beautiful burrata mozzarella.
