Preserved Lemons (Beldi Lemons) - Salt-Cured North African Lemons
Beldi lemons are small lemons, about the size of a walnut, found mainly in North Africa and Israel. Their season is fairly short; I usually find them between December and January. Their thin skin makes them perfect for curing in salt, and they add a lovely fragrance to fresh salads, fish or tagines.




Roasted Broccoli with Herbed Tahini Sauce
More delicate than its cousin the cauliflower, broccoli doesn’t always get people dreaming. And yet… If you liked the Roasted Cauliflower, here is an excellent, simple recipe. Feel free to add it to your kemia (Tunisian mezze spread) or serve it alongside a baked fish. It’s vegan and parve.


Roasted Eggplant with Tahini - Eggplant Biladi
Here’s an essential Israeli appetizer, smoky eggplant with tahini. It’s traditionally cooked over an open flame, which gives it that very characteristic taste. Here we like it with a little tomato, lots of tahini and cilantro. The result is melting and creamy. If you think you don’t like eggplant, give it a chance with this recipe!

Egg Salad - British-Style with Shallot and Chives
It was in London that I discovered egg salad, which the British love to eat in sandwiches. I adore this salad; it has more bite than our traditional French œuf-mayo (hard-boiled eggs with mayonnaise) thanks to the scallions and mustard. I also add a small, finely minced shallot, and it always gets devoured in minutes, even by the kids. You can enjoy it on bread, on challah, or use it to fill mini rolls for an appetizer.


Tomato Tart - Provençal Puff Pastry Tart with Herb-Marinated Tomatoes
Tomato tart, Provençal, summery, indulgent - here we are crazy about it! The secret to making it really flavorful is to let the tomatoes marinate with the herbs and aromatics before baking. Try it once and it will become a must of your summer.

Tomato Tarte Tatin with Balsamic Caramel
Summery and beautiful to look at, this is a recipe for last-minute dinners, buffets, or whenever you feel like something indulgent without having to start two days ahead… Everyone will ask for seconds; it’s always a big hit. It’s parve when made with margarine.




Lentil Salad with Smoked Salmon, Avocado and Crunchy Vegetables
Lentils are one of those ingredients that are often sitting in the pantry, and they shouldn’t be overlooked: they’re healthy and packed with protein. Beyond the famous French lentils with sausages, today I’m sharing a lentil salad recipe with fresh raw vegetables and smoked salmon, which pairs beautifully with lentils.


Zucchini Ricotta Roll-Ups with Roasted Tomato Sauce
Tender zucchini roll-ups filled with a light ricotta, lemon and fresh herb filling, standing upright in a rich, concentrated roasted tomato sauce. A fresh, flavorful dairy dish that’s perfect for a holiday buffet or a summer lunch.
