Photos taken by Meir Pliskin, www.meirpliskin.com Would it make me sound like a dinosaur if I said I remember early Kosherfest shows taking place, ages ago, with flocks of young mothers pushing strollers and turning the show into a giant lunch break in an industrial playground? Then the show moved to Javitz Center sans strollers, [...]

Guys, here’s what I do, and this is really all it takes. I buy porcini powder online. It doesn’t really need a kosher certification, but it just happens to have one. It will at first seem expensive, until you realize a little goes a very long way, a terrific investment. Just a few drops of [...]

Crab cakes and other seafood goodies were always verboten in the world of kosher dining as well as that of all diners who frown at eating seafood, until some inspired professional foodie recreated the texture and flavor with a plain-vanilla-type fish called pollock. It is processed minimally, so I have no trouble using it. Mock [...]

Chocolat à Toute Heure: Which means, chocolate anytime. That’s right, not only in minor emergencies such as an attack of the munchies. You can have it for dinner too, as in this fabulous bean dish and chicken dish: how liberating is that? Of course we are only talking about dark chocolate, not chocolate candy [...]

The star of yesterday’s shabbos lunch was a delicious tuna burger, which I served with my famous Apricot Chutney. What I love about tuna burgers is, you can eat them at any temperature, without running the risk of having some congealed fat form on the edges, as it does on meat burgers. Much leaner, [...]

Too many diners complain that they love schnitzel but are disappointed that they are so easily dried out. My daughter-in-law Ruthie makes the best schnitzels but always keeps insisting she does nothing in particular, so I decided to spy on her once when she made the dish, from beginning to end. The result is some [...]
