Chef Moshe Wendel of Pardes Restaurant looks, sounds and cooks like a force of nature. I was there last Sunday with my friends Larisa and Gene, and their precious daughter Chasya, and rather than order specific dishes, we willingly submitted to Chef Moshe’s magic and ordered a complete tasting menu, confident we were in expert [...]

I haven’t had the authentic zablaglione, a luscious Italian whipped egg-yolk-sugar-and-port cream, since one day I got sick from -and ashamed of- having splurged on it. But even at small doses, not everyone can afford it: I trust you will like the results of my tinkering: It tastes very much like the real thing, but [...]

The easiest ever! and so much fun, and delicious! You can make both the zabaglione (I am including my delicious recipe!) and the puff pastry layers several days in advance: The perfect no-pressure dessert! I love to use Pepperidge Farm puff pastry, it never lets me down. Just keep it good and chilled at [...]

Until just last week, which is just before we hosted our annual Simchat Torah Party, if the idea of serving apple sauce to guests had entered my head, I would have been worried about my culinary creativity coming to a screeching halt. But here’s what happened: I cooked and baked up a storm, then had [...]

Too many of us simply don’t believe bread or challah can be as exciting if baked with whole grain flours, and often settle for mediocre bad-for-you white bread offerings. I have the modest hope of changing that in my circles of students and readers. As you all know, and as my new cookbook amply bears [...]

I often whip up this treat after a party, when I look to recycle my leftover bread. Attention gluten- free diners: This is for you too! Any bread will do as long as it is not too crusty (in other words, don‘t use baguette or ciabatta!). You will love the kick and the bold ruby-colored [...]

Another glowing example of a treat known as dairy that doesn’t in the least suffer from a dairy-free adaptation, au contraire! (Go ahead and multiply the recipe if you would like—it keeps very well.) For a richer texture, I use a simple trick, to augment the “milk” fats in many dishes: I add soy or [...]

Italian flavors at their best! Each dish is a meal in its own right. Except for the dessert, all dishes are gluten-free I have a pretty fantastic egg-free take on the delicious but prohibitively egg yolk-rich classic zabaglione. I’ll be demonstrating: Chicken cacciatore Herb Italian bean soup Panzanella with mock shrimp Mille-feuille with zabaglione and [...]

We all used to pile into my mother-in-law’s small apartment for her famed dish and always lied to her that somehow ours didn’t come out as good as hers: Anything to have her make a vat of it, which would disappear in minutes. All the children in our family still clamor for it and feed [...]
