When I am in Trader Joes I rarely stroll the cookies and sweets aisle. Some days – days when the universe seem to be an asshole – it’s a torture to pass by my favorite Maple Leaf Cookies or cookie…
I have no problem planning trips, photo shoots and dinner parties but I suck at meal planning. I don’t know why. I find it ten times easier to cook with 5 ingredients than to plan a meal in advance. Most…
My boys asked if I can make normal pancakes for a change. Normal as with gluten and eggs. This is my most normal pancake recipe. With a small twist but as fluffy and light as classic pancakes. No one complained.…
There are so many versions of potato salads. I love them all. One of my favorite is the potato and herb salad and this one. It’s humble, easy to make and delicious. The caramelized onions gives it extra sweetness and…
A non-israeli friend of friends made this dish for Fourth of July, while we were visiting them in Montana. She told me that if she had known that we were Israeli, she would have made something else. I am glad…
First time I made tempura. Honestly, I was surprised how easy it is. The most exciting part is that you can tempure everything, including ice cream, cheese cake and a shoe string and it would be delicious. Keep in mind…
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…
Does the world need another pancake recipe? Do you need another black t-shirt? This is actually not another pancake recipe, it’s the most cakey pancake I ever made. I make pancakes on a weekly yet I rarely make the same…

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…

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…
