I adapted the recipe from Mark Hayman’s cookbook What The Hell Shall I cook? Mark adapted it from Hugh Jackman. I googled the recipe to see where it originally came from; Central and West Africa but I was wondering who’s…
I don’t like leftovers. I don’t like to eat them nor put them in a container, knowing that I would end up throwing the food away and wasting more by washing the container. My husband loves leftovers though he rarely…
This dish is based on a Moroccan fish recipe which my mother and grandmother used to make only on weekdays. God forbid if you made it for Shabbat dinner. Moroccan Jews can be very particular about weekday food vs. Shabbat…
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…
In the hot summer days, when I can’t eat anything but vegetables, I like to roast any vegetables I have in hand and serve them with some sort of a grain, such as rice or couscous, cilantro parsley or dill,…

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.…

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…

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…
