Recently I mentioned to my daughter Bella I was going to Montreal soon for a demo, and she said with great urgency: “Mommy, whatever you do, make sure you go back to the store where we had those heavenly chocolate danishes. You just can’t go to Montreal without having one!” We had that danish almost [...]

Chanukkah is around the corner. Fear of Frying? Start by going over my tips for frying efficiently and safely.

The appeal of Moroccan food is universal. The aromas and flavors of the dishes do their magic every bit as much as the simplicity of their preparation.

At my Cooking Demo this past Monday night, Thanksgiving Feast, my guests were simply amazed we finished the preparations of a whole Thanksgiving dinner with more than half an hour to spare, not including the 2 hours baking time we started the turkey on before demo started, during which we also did all our prep [...]

We display them on our coffee tables, give them our coveted, valuable kitchen counter space, we read them in bed as if they were gripping novels.
