This being Chanukkah, I trust we have plenty of chances to eat more than our fair chances of latkas: You will love my latkas recipe, complete with all tips on frying sensibly and effectively.

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.

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.) Delicious over ice cream, pound cake, bread puddings, etc… For a richer texture, I use a simple trick, to augment the [...]

I usually find the holiday pecan pie almost too sweet for human consumption, but when I add a pumpkin filling, the customary cloying sweetness is pleasantly mitigated. Besides, pumpkin and pecans are a match made in dessert heaven. This pie adapt beautifully to gluten-free needs, as you could make the crust with any flour. Ingredients: [...]

Lemon non-lovers need not apply! but I doubt we’ll find too many of these! The lemon curd is pure lemon seduction: I love to make these, not only because they are outrageous, but also because they are so low maintenance: Make your curd anytime and keep it refrigerated. Then make the crust even up to [...]

I have my mother to thank for providing the inspiration for this beautiful tart. The base is not a classic pie crust as we know it, more like a cookie dough, making this tart much less perishable than the classic apple pie. You will create in no time a dessert that looks as professional [...]
