Savory Babka with Cheese and Fresh Herbs
Do you know babka? Some call it Krantz cake ā it’s the famous twisted Ashkenazi brioche that’s all the rage in Israel and around the world. After its success in previous years, I’m bringing back this twisted version of Babka in a savory edition.




Pistachio Dessert Cream
If you love rich and creamy desserts, these pistachio dessert creams are for you. They’re simple to make and gluten-free. This has become a classic in my kitchen whenever I have homemade pistachio paste.

Chocolate Truffles
Truffles are probably the easiest chocolate treat that exists. They’re eaten without hunger (and without end…) and are perfect with coffee. Here’s a chocolatey, indulgent recipe that’s dairy-free!

Gua Bao (Chinese Steamed Buns) - Base Recipe
These little steamed buns are incredibly soft and fluffy. Here’s a detailed version to make them at home. You can fill them with anything - meat, fish, mushrooms…!





Mushroom Tart
I love tarts and quiches as much as I love mushrooms. This week, looking for a change from my traditional mushroom quiche, I came across a recipe from chef Ottolenghi that inspired this dish. I simplified it with what I had on hand and adapted it to our tastes, and everyone loved it. The tarragon and dill combination pairs beautifully with the mushrooms and gives it an original flavor. The classic quiche custard (eggs + cream) is replaced here with a delicious mushroom cream (which can also be made dairy-free). Let me share it with you!

Gratin Dauphinois (Kosher French Potato Gratin)
What could be more indulgent and comforting than a gratin dauphinois? Potatoes, cream, milk, and nutmeg. That’s it! Don’t expect to have leftovers…




Tapioca Pearls with Coconut Cream
An easy dessert reminiscent of rice pudding but made with coconut cream and tapioca pearls. These small pearls are used in desserts, sauces, and soups as an excellent thickening agent.

Chocolate Hazelnut Praline Dessert Cream
I love dessert creams - they’re indulgent, silky smooth, and ready in no time! After sharing a chocolate dessert cream and a pistachio one, here are delicious homemade chocolate hazelnut praline dessert creams. They can be made lactose-free and are gluten-free. Perfect if you have a jar of homemade praline to use up.
