MY COOKBOOK IS HERE! I will feel much better after I share this: Instead of the celebration I was envisioning upon its release, it has become my torment for almost 2 weeks now. I am terribly sorry (and deeply embarrassed) to say there were major technical glitches in the production of the book. As a [...]

Lawrence, Lynda and I at a Wild West BBQ at the Fairmont In nearly thirty five years we have been married (that’s right, my marriage predates my electronic Facebook marriage announcement by about thirty-three years, but thank you all anyway for your recent and misguided avalanche of heartfelt good wedding wishes: bring them on [...]

I have always chuckled at the old joke that in Israel, every child’s first words are “Ima, Abba, Bamba”. Bamba is a peanut-butter snack manufactured by Osem that children in Israel and beyond seem to be connected to almost surgically: Can’t leave home without it! Osem is the oldest and largest exporting Kosher grocery food [...]

It is unfortunate that in America, beets invariably conjure up loaded remarks about, uhmmm, never mind . . . I am always looking for ways to sneak them in, as in this cake, where they do their magic even while they totally escape detection: The result is this dense, moist, and deliciously funky cake. [...]

Farfel is nothing more than matzah cut up small and calibrated for quick cooking. I use the Osem whole wheat version, with wonderful results. You will love the robustness of the whole-grain flavor. No need to wait for Passover to make this treat! Oh I know it doesn’t exactly look pristine, but it is [...]

The Passover version of this timeless classic is virtually identical to the year-round one: Osem Matzah cake meal is that good! Secret of delicious brownies, beside of course delicious chocolate: Do not be tempted to bake a minute more or they will harden. Ingredients: 8 ounces best-quality dark chocolate, chopped, or 2 cups best-quality semisweet [...]

You can roast virtually any vegetable, just as long as you combine your veggies by comparable roasting time. For example, roast mushrooms, asparagus, eggplant, zucchini, shallots, peppers, endives, fennel etc… together (they will be ready in just a few minutes), and roast the selection below together (they will take a little longer) Roots are [...]

I love quinoa, on Passover and year-round. A staple in South America, it’s a nutritional powerhouse, and delicious too, and so versatile! Quinoa comes in white, red and black, as I did here, so mix and match and get fun results each time. Please do not skip the step where you are told to [...]

One of the best salmon dishes you will ever taste. Two simple secrets: the first is hardly a secret by now, but I can’t emphasize it enough: do not cook a second longer than instructed; the second is, bake it in a pan only large enough to fit the fish snugly in one layer. It [...]
