I already said it a hundred times, I love potatoes and everything that is made with potatoes. Everything! Especially mashed potatoes. You don’t need much for this pie. You probably have most of the ingredients in hand (As for produce…
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…
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…
We are still in quarantine, cooking and baking nonstop. Hope you’re all doing well and getting the most out of this situation. Sending my love and strength to anyone who needs it xxs I already posted two or more banana…
I know, there is a decent selection of gluten-free pastas everywhere but most of them are made with grains or legumes, which I try to avoid because a) they give me digestion problems and b) most of them don’t taste…
This is the kind of food that I eat on a daily basis, usually in the winter, when I feel that I’m coming down with something. I also avoid eating sugar and take extra vitamin C and D. It works…
I needed to bring something for a friend’s birthday picnic in nature (Franklin Canyon). I didn’t have any direction or idea, or a lot to choose from. I found a box of cremini mushrooms in the fridge and walnuts in…
NEVER THROW AWAY OVERLY RIPE BANANAS! NEVER!
Remember the days when cauliflower wasn’t popular? When she was considered boring? When no one knew what to do with her? Well those days are over, a decade ago. Now she is a mega celebrity that everyone wants to cook…
Since winter arrived I’ve been mostly braising or roasting veggies for lunch and dinner. I don’t know why but I can’t think of any other cooking methods when I am cold. It isn’t as cold in LA as it is…
Is it normal to be organized but messy? Fearful of failure but courages to start all over again? Love all foods but be fussy? Terrified of cockroaches but totally okay with spiders? Hate to fly but love to travel? Skeptical…
When I was a kid in the not-so-holy land, the only type of pumpkin – Dla’at in Hebrew, not as fun to say as pumpkin, or as Alex used to call it when he was a toddler pumpking – I…
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…
They have an addictive flavor and fun to make, which can be challenging when you try to avoid sugar completely. They’re all the diets friendly (Keto, vegan, Paleo…). Too friendly 🙂 if you can limit yourself to 2 maximum 3…
I was going to make baked falafel, with the little I had in hand, but I over processed the chickpeas (I hummused the hell out of them.) I should’ve had used a fork to mush them. Oh well, no harm…
Jap-che, I love saying it with Korean accent. I can make a pretty good Korean accent because I had a Korean friend, who has a thick accent. So thick that when she says zoo it sounds like Jew. She is…
Once upon a time we lived in New York City, had no kids and no use for our kitchen. We had our breakfasts at our second homes Cafe Mogador or Cafe Gitane. Z used to get the baked feta and…
There are a bunch of restaurants and cafes in Tel Aviv that I like very much. One of them is Cafe Anastasia, which is vegan, refined sugar-free and mostly gluten-free. I go there occasionally for their vegan cheese plate or…
Last week after feeling low and bloated again I decided to quite gluten, grains and most sugars. Luckily, I have Miss Rogel, who’s a friend, a brilliant designer, a talented cook, and many other things. She’s been on a strict…
If you could live anywhere in the world for one year, where would you live? I would live in a small village in Italy, where I would make friends with the local ladies, learn how to make pasta, explore the area,…
