Barely a week goes by when these internet-breaking golden chewy squares do not emerge from my oven. The original recipe from my inspiring friend Adeena Sussman's book, Sababa, are mouthwateringly delicious, a cinch to make and a…
Snacks. They seem to punctuate every activity in our day. The constant desire to eat, regardless of time lapsed since last consuming a mouthful, is a strong inherited gene. In fact, there are members of…
My cornbread hall of fame ranges far and wide. From the infamous Moosewood cookbook recipe made regularly in our house during the vegetarian era of the late 1970’s/early 1980’s to accompany chili sin carne, to…
These bars are a staple of the season. Festive and wonderfully tangy, not terribly sweet, with a crispy base that is simple and quick to make without the faff of pastry making, these are the…
This recipe is dedicated to my sister. For years she has asked me to make a chocolate honey cake instead of the regular version for our annual Rosh Hashanah feast, because ultimately everyone loves a…

It is hard to believe, but baby no.4 (lovingly known around here as G4) is 1 next week. Shocking how time can simultaneously pass so slowly and quickly.
The year has kicked off with a bang, and I am excited to let you know about the new classes I am offering for early spring. All the classes take ...
These triangular shaped sweet filled cookies are traditionally made to celebrate the Jewish festival of Purim. For my entire adult life, without exception I have made the exact same Maida Heater recipe, handed down by…
It has been a high cookie demand month around here. During exam periods, an excessive amount of sweet treats (even by my standards) are required to keep the boys going. Consequently, while behind on the…
What’s my culinary solution to the holiday madness? Ginger cake. Versatile and deeply nostalgic, a moist molasses-y ginger-y slice is as irresistible with a mid morning cup of coffee as it is for a teatime…
This was a big week. I finally turned 40 on Monday. I say finally, as I have actually been celebrating for about 7 weeks now and have almost reached 40 celebrations for my 40 years of…
