Sweet-and-sour combinations work beautifully with salmon. The onions caramelize and contribute a sweet counterpoint to the vinegar. Another quick and delicious dish, just the way I like it—one pan, one step. Ingredients: 1 whole side salmon, no skin, no bones, about 3½ pounds, trimmed 1 large red onion, sliced very thin (use the food processor) [...]

Mediterranean flavors at their best. I find brussels sprouts somewhat underrated and underused in our country. They are much more exciting than they sound, and much less innocent than they look; and their pungent bite provides a nice counterpoint to the mildness of the zucchini. Ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, quartered 3 [...]

This recipe is excerpted from my new cookbook: The Whole Foods Kosher Kitchen: Glorious Meals Pure and Simple. Couscous is wonderful and fun, the rock star of Moroccan cuisine. Couscous is native to Morocco, and the word refers to both the grain and the traditional dish made with the grain. It is semolina, or [...]

One of my favorites! All of you out there always asking how we turn a same old, same old salad into an exciting main course salad: You can glorify it even further by throwing in some leftover diced fish or chicken, or make it dairy, and throw in some crumbled feta. I love the [...]

We grew up eating no end of salads at almost every meal: Is it any wonder we loved our veggies and ate them without any prompting? I am even including a dessert salad. True to form, we will bake an authentic Moroccan bread to go with the feast so we don’t leave a drop of [...]

My sister Lea’s galettes: Hers the best, even my mother agrees! Galettes were a staple at my house in Morocco, and still are at my mother’s house, where all children clamor for them, calling them Maman Biscuit (they lump all her baked goods into this one generic word: biscuit), submitting to the touching drama that [...]

A little more dicing than I like my dishes to involve, but I think you will find it well worth it. Plum tomatoes are perfectly suited for cooking, as they have little juice and lots of flesh. I love to serve ratatouille at picnics, or at summer shabbos meals as it lends itself perfectly to [...]

Artichokes: A great Sephardi favorite, in every shape and form. Someone in the food industry, bless him, has done all the pesky job of snapping the leaves off the artichokes, and the even peskier job of scraping the fuzz off the artichoke bottoms, leaving us only with exactly what we want (perfect artichoke bottoms or [...]

I am always asked whether I have received formal cooking training, and the answer – I learned mostly from my mother – at first seems somewhat ambiguous, until I introduce her in earnest: My mother, known as Maman to the whole family and even to all our friends, is the ultimate artisan, and the original [...]
