Zucchini Pesto
I often make pasta for Friday lunch, each week with a different sauce (unless there’s a special request ^^). With spring here, I wanted to try a quick sauce with no cooking and no cheese… Zucchini pesto. It was a huge success, it comes together in just a few minutes, it’s fresh, well-balanced and pairs beautifully with pasta. If you love basil and zucchini, I highly recommend trying it!


Roasted Eggplant with Tehina - Aubergine Biladi
Here’s a must-have Israeli appetizer - smoky eggplant with tehina. It’s traditionally prepared over an open flame which gives it that very characteristic taste. We love it with a bit of tomato, plenty of tehina and cilantro. The result is melt-in-your-mouth and creamy. If you think you don’t like eggplant, give it a chance with this recipe!

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…



Chocolate Mousse
A deeply chocolatey mousse that makes that delicious sound when you dip your spoon in! I don’t know about you, but my barometer for a successful chocolate mousse is partly tied to the sound my spoon makes when I plunge it in for that first bite. It’s delicious, super easy, and satisfying! And bonus here, it’s dairy-free!

Hummus with Tahini - Basic Recipe
Hummus - chickpea purĆ©e - 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.


Peppercorn Sauce
Peppercorn sauce is one of the essential sauces in French cuisine for accompanying meats, and even fish, like in this delicious pepper-crusted tuna steak recipe. Today I’m sharing a lactose-free peppercorn sauce recipe, perfect for accompanying your meats, especially a roast beef.

Pea, Broccoli and Zucchini Soup
A beautiful green vegetable soup without potatoes. A vitamin-packed cocktail rich in fiber. The secret to a perfectly smooth texture is not adding too much cooking water to achieve a flavorful and creamy soup.


Tri-Color Quinoa with Haloumi, Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Onions
This excellent quinoa salad is best enjoyed warm. It’s rich and satisfying thanks to the sweet potato and haloumi. Much like the black lentil salad, it’s a complete and filling vegetarian dish!
