Savory Babka with Cheese and Fresh Herbs

Do you know babka? Some call it Krantz cake – 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.

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!

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.
