Moroccan Tea Cookies With Anise

Cashew Cheesecake With Strawberry
The other day, I made this cake but told my husband not to mention anything about it to his mother, cousin, and that cousin’s friend. I wanted to see if they would realize that it’s not a real cheesecake. I…
Easy Plant-based Fig Ice Cream
There’s a popular ice cream shop in our neighborhood that makes exquisite dairy ice cream but their vegan ice cream is eh. It’s not the flavors, they’re okay, it’s the texture. Sorbet is more rich than that pea protein-made ice…
Tapioca Pudding with Pureed Loquat
Stop and pick the loquats (shesek, nispero, biwa). Those mother-clusters of oval, orange fruits you see everywhere during may and June are edible indeed. If you pick them, make sure to select only the very orange with brown spots, those…
Vegan Chocolate Bar Topped With Granola

Wintery Fruit Salad With Rosemary
I’ll never forget the night my husband and I stumbled upon the mind-blowing combo of fruits and rosemary. It was back in 2010, right after we’d moved to Los Angeles from Israel. We were checking out Sage Vegan Bistro in…
Moroccan Donuts with Cardamom
Sfenj (or “Sfenj”) are Moroccan yeasted donuts which my family and I eat on Hanukkah. They’re similar to beignets but better. Better because they’re fluffy and addictive like their sisters but don’t contain butter, milk and eggs. They have mercy…
Baked Nectarines, Peaches & Plums
I intended to make a fruit crisp but I accidentally over processed the nut mixture into a sandy mixture. So I mixed it with 1 egg to fix it and the crust came out chewy, like nougat. It was tasty…

Vegan Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cake
Up until a month ago I didn’t like the flavor of sweet peanut butter, such as in PB&J and Reese’s. It took me almost a decade to like peanut butter in general and another decade to like it sweetened. It’s…
ketoish dark chocolate & tahini truffles
