Picture by Lisa Teiger A nice and super healthy take on pumpkin pie, and so easy to make. Easily converted to a gluten-free treat: You could use any flour at all. The pairing of figs with rosemary is deliciously funky. Remember, as always: No cooking wine or cooking sherry or any of those calamitous ingredients: [...]

If it is true that opposites attract, no dish would bear this out better than this one. Tuna and Fennel! Besides, here is a whole new and fun way to eat canned tuna! Do not be alarmed by the fact that I don’t drain it—that’s practically all the oil contained in the dish, and that’s [...]

This new star was born just this past Shabbos, when I was tinkering with a batch of Apple Tomato Chutney that tasted too delicious to be used only as a condiment; I went all out and incorporated in this Indian lamb meatball dish, and the finished dish was heavenly, and as importantly, affordable. Do not [...]

I live in the vicinity of several Chinese restaurants (who doesn’t?). Every morning I watch the mountain of trash at their back door, and it always includes enormous jerry cans of teriyaki sauce: No wonder all those dishes look like a container of motor oil has accidentally landed there. This unwelcome sight has totally [...]

Eggplant is a huge favorite in our Sephardi Cooking. This dish is all roasted, so it is pretty streamlined, and pretty lean. Anything not to have to fry eggplant, which gobbles up oil like crazy! The preserved lemons do make a big difference, so please don’t skip them. I have provided a super simple recipe, [...]

I always loved this Sephardi dish I grew up with: In the finished dish the chicken breasts were diced, the chicken livers were whole and the lamb was shaped into meatballs. I made it and it was quite delicious but a little messy. When I recently asked my mother how she kept every item so [...]

There are times where we want to enjoy turkey without the whole production: Long roasting, boning, slicing, dealing with leftovers etc. Boneless turkey breast to the rescue! The following combination of flavors produced a succulent roast, easy to slice and easy to serve, and gone at just one seating! It served eight people quite comfortably. [...]

I love the robust flavor of cauliflower, and the roasting intensifies it even further. So good it needs no help from cheese or cream. I use frozen cauliflower, as it is already cut, cleaned, and every bit as delicious and nutritious! Attention Gluten-Free readers: This is for you too! Ingredients: 2 pounds frozen cauliflower florets [...]

Recently my very pregnant daughter Bella mentioned that her ob-gyn recommended she include more fiber and more vegetable protein in her diet. Always tinkering with the whole gamut of grains, I welcomed the opportunity to experiment, this time setting as my goal, making a breakfast that would be at once quick, delicious and nutritious. I [...]
