An easy, delicious recipe for the famous Russian blinis. They’re thick and wonderfully fluffy (and dairy, so kosher with smoked fish). You’ll never buy blinis again!

Stuffed cabbage is a charming, old-fashioned dish, one of those comforting family meals. I discovered it in Israel, where it is firmly rooted in home cooking, a recipe inherited from the Ashkenazi tradition. It has plenty of cousins, since stuffed vegetables of every kind are part of the Jewish culinary tradition.
