Irish Soda Bread is a quick bread. It has all the deliciousness of yeasted breads, without yeast, kneading or rising time. Perfect for brunch. I make mine with spelt flour, my favorite flour: low gluten, high fiber, high protein, great flavor! Dairy please. No substitutions here; it won’t be nearly as good. Irish soda bread [...]

This challah silicone mold, which was created to obediently take on a beautiful braid’s shape for dutiful but less-than-dexterous bakers, elicited many comments, a few of them of a gastronomic nature, most of them of a reconstructive-surgery nature (vaguely reminding one as it does of some enhancement plan…), and just one of them of a [...]

Although the number of gluten-free commercial offerings is expanding daily, I am sorry to say they are quite often loaded with trashy worthless ingredients, and not terribly tasty, which makes gluten-free eating an unhealthy and uninspiring experience, defeating the whole purpose. You would be amazed how resourceful you can get with gluten-free baking right in [...]

Since I use spelt flour for all my baked goods (except the gluten-free ones), both sweet and savory, let me start with a word about spelt: While I see no reason to put the whole nation on a gluten-free diet (you will see throughout my latest cookbook that I make ample prevision for our gluten-free [...]

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 [...]

Not just gluten-free, but delicious and nutritious as well. This might well be the solution to your gluten-free bread cravings. Here’s all I ask if you want to pull this off perfectly: Don’t shape the dough into loaves. Rather, shape into rolls. There will be much less room to end up with a dried-out bread. [...]

I love the idea of quickbreads, whipped up at the drop of a hat, ready for guests and us on short notice, no kneading and no rising time. The added bonus is that they are only moderately sweet, placing them in the category of real foods rather than desserts, even though they taste delicious enough [...]

During our recent trip to Israel, my husband and I were delighted with the quality and caliber of the food, that is, just as long as we stayed clear of all forgettable poultry and meat items. Which suited us just fine: All salads, fish dishes, desserts (even store-bought!), ice cream, were delightful. But the great [...]

Cranberry Muffins You say cup cakes, I say muffins! Gosh, I would hate to lose my popularity with the junior cup-cake crowd, but many years of catering kids’ parties and watching their delighted faces as their lick their fingers put my fears at rest. As if that was not enough, my granddaughter Musia recently described [...]
