I usually make this when I have leftovers of basmati rice. If you don’t have rice leftovers, it takes 12 minutes to cook basmati (but make sure you wash it thoroughly). You can make it with one type or bunch…
I made this dish for lunch with friends and served it with hummus, tahini and burnt peppers and everybody loved it, except for my son, Leo, who doesn’t know yet how much he loves eggplants. Alex, my younger son, who…

The last time I ate a tortilla soup was in a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Cozumel, Mexico, six years ago. Not sure why it took me so many years to make it. Especially when it’s my husband’s favorite soup (I didn’t…
Many times I look at the vegetables and let them tell me what to do with them. This is exactly what I did with the Japanese yams that I bought in the Korean supermarket (They were organic, small and cute…
When life gives you mushy and bland strawberries make jam with black peppercorns. Why with black peppercorns? because the peppercorns give a pleasant spicy kick. Homemade jam is easy to make and heartwarming.

I like to make this lentil shepherd’s pie when a vegan friend comes over for dinner—it impresses and satisfies EVERYONE. People can’t believe my mashed potatoes don’t have any milk or butter – that’s the magic of olive oil and…
My mother taught me how to cook but my father taught me to improvise, not to stick to the script, not to let anything stop me from cooking. Even if I’m missing some ingredients. You can always make a dish…
MY SOURDOUGH STARTER IS READY, NOW WHAT? For an instant gratificationist like me, the process of making sourdough bread can be sour indeed. It’s not the labor that gets me – the mixing, kneading and shaping are pretty easy. It’s…
In this recipe, I make hummus with parsnips instead of chickpeas. This makes it a great alternative for people who cannot eat legumes. However, this dip would appeal to anyone who appreciates earthy and unique flavors. Parsnips and turnips are…
I bake bread on a weekly basis. I make gluten-free sourdough for me, wheat sourdough for my husband and boys, challahs for Shabbat for my guests and simple yeasted bread when I don’t have time or patience to make a…

If you’re one of those people who love anise-y flavors, there is no question you are going to love this salad. But if you’re not, then I kind of feel sorry for you. Sorry, but hopeful too, if you’re willing…
