Every single time I make a batch of these irresistible heroine-biscuits, I swear it’ll be the last time. And I’d probably keep that promise if someone didn’t always beg me to make them. Or if a sudden burst of inspiration…
The other day, I made this cake but told my husband not to mention anything about it to his mother, cousin, and that cousin’s friend. I wanted to see if they would realize that it’s not a real cheesecake. I…
There’s a popular ice cream shop in our neighborhood that makes exquisite dairy ice cream but their vegan ice cream is eh. It’s not the flavors, they’re okay, it’s the texture. Sorbet is more rich than that pea protein-made ice…
Stop and pick the loquats (shesek, nispero, biwa). Those mother-clusters of oval, orange fruits you see everywhere during may and June are edible indeed. If you pick them, make sure to select only the very orange with brown spots, those…
Vegan boy complains that there’s nothing sweet in the house. He threatens to go to CVS to buy candy. Neurotic mom says “Wait! Don’t go, I’ll make something”. Quickly she melts a bar of Trader’s Joe’s 72% dark chocolate and…
I’ll never forget the night my husband and I stumbled upon the mind-blowing combo of fruits and rosemary. It was back in 2010, right after we’d moved to Los Angeles from Israel. We were checking out Sage Vegan Bistro in…
Sfenj (or “Sfenj”) are Moroccan yeasted donuts which my family and I eat on Hanukkah. They’re similar to beignets but better. Better because they’re fluffy and addictive like their sisters but don’t contain butter, milk and eggs. They have mercy…
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…
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…

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.
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…
NEVER THROW AWAY OVERLY RIPE BANANAS! NEVER!
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…
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 craving cookies but run out of coconut sugar or maple syrup so I decide to use molasses to make my basic cookies recipe. Molasses has a strong, burnt flavor but with pumpkin spice it somehow disappear. I grounded…
No ice cream machine, no dairy, no refined-sugar, no effort, no fuss, just a little bit of patience until the bananas are frozen, and then one more time after you process them into a creamy ice cream.
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…
I know that Thanksgiving is tomorrow so I hope you get this recipe before. It’s the best and easiest pie I ever made. I wish though that puff pastry had a nutrition value, but unfortunately it doesn’t. The fact that it’s…
