Stuffed Collard Greens
I love stuffed vegetables but I’m rarely in the mood to make it myself. Though I love stuffing leaves — it’s like rolling a joint (says the woman who, in 51 years, has never actually rolled one). It’s satisfying —…
Best Vegetable Pita Sandwich
Pita is a hiding place, a sleeping bag, an edible bowl. Anything you tuck into a pita will be delicious. No wonder Eyal Shani’s Miznon restaurants are so successful. He didn’t invent pita sandwiches, but he showed the world that,…
Vegan Vegetable Gratin
There are only a few ways I can tolerate the sweetness of butternut squash: when it’s roasted and mixed with harissa or something spicy and tart that settles its intense sweetness, in spicy curries, and in this semi-gratin. I craved…
Tomato Sauce with White Wine
Do you know what the problem is with being a digital nomad? You’re always missing something. You’re missing family, friends, kitchen tools, an ingredient. Last week I wanted to make my grandmother’s tea biscuits but I didn’t have a rolling…
Quick Cabbage Frittata
Believe it or not I’m walking on air… You know that song. Never mind. Believe it or not, we are moving. A G A I N. Not too far though. To the other side of the hill. To the same…
Buckwheat, Brussel Sprouts & Leek
I’m going to make a bold statement that might be false, but I’ll make it anyway. Creative cooks don’t do weekly meal planning. The only planning I do is in my head and when I’m walking through the produce section.…
Zucchini Stuffed With White Beans
As a content creator I don’t use it as much as I could. I mostly use it for proofreading. It’s very helpful for people whose English is a second language, it’s a life-changing tool. I am aware of the risk…
Simple Pumpkin Lentil Soup
Yesterday, I accidentally stumbled upon a diary entry from exactly a year ago. It’s in Hebrew, so I translated it for you: Sunday, October 8, 23 (in London at Ruby’s) The situation in Israel is dire. More than 600 people…
Salad Inspired By Mexico City
My husband and I just got back from a trip to Mexico City. We flew down there so I can get a dental implant. It is much cheaper there. It’s not something I would normally do but the dentist was…
Sheet Pan Salmon and Vegetables
That’s it, I’ve decided. If I were to take one thing to a deserted island, I would definitely take an oven. Assuming I have electricity. That way I could make fruit rolls, toasted nuts and roasted fish. With an oven…
Simple Lima Bean & Celeriac Dip
The first time I had celeriac “hummus” was in Habasta, an exquisite restaurant in Tel Aviv. I was surprised by the intense earthy flavor of the celery root. It blew my mind. I remember thinking out loud, I have to…
Red Lentil Soup with Kale
While most people feel comforted when their fridge is packed with food, I get restless. I love going to the market and buy lots of fresh produce but over-crowded situations – trains, supermarkets, streets, closets – and fridges, stresses me out.…
The Best Carrot Salad Ever
First, say Hi to your new favorite salad. Second, lemon season is around the corner. During the next 10 months, I won’t be buying lemons, I would be picking them from the trees in my neighborhood. I always joke that…
Burek With Cashew Cheese & Swiss-Chard
I loooove all pastries equally. However, I have a particular weakness for savory stuffed pastries. Pastries that have the letters “BRK” in the name, like burek and burekas. Pastries that, when you bite into their flaky dough, make a delicious…
Plant-Based Meal in One Hour
How would you feel about me posting pictures of our meals with a short description and a video instead of posting a recipe? That way we all spend less time in front of a screen. I will still mention important…
Sautéed Beet Leaves With Eggs
Throwing away the beet tops is like tossing a gorgeous strand of human hair instead of donating it. What a weird analogy. It’s a shame not to cook those flavorful Swiss chard-like leaves. Particularly when organic and intact. They are…
Pasta With Creamy Cabbage Sauce
I love cabbage so much that I asked my jewelry-designer friend to make me a cabbage charm. Vegan-boy on the other has a lot of attitude about cooked cabbage. I must caramelize the shit out of the cabbage and mix…
Roasted Pumpkin & Candied Pecans
I don’t know how comfortable you are about including non-traditional dishes, like this one, in your Thanksgiving feast. If you are open to it, then you must try this one. It requires only four ingredients and take about 30 minutes…
Easy Upside-Down Cabbage Bread
It’s been a while since I posted anything. As some of you know – from my Instagram stories – we moved, again. This time not too far though. To a close-by neighborhood that has a better public high school. I…
Roasted Cauliflower Over Vegan Yogurt
Summer, you’re hot, toasty, sweaty, smelly, exhausting, Yet, I miss you in the winter and welcome you with open arms in the spring. You and this refreshing and light cauliflower dish. This recipe works also with labneh or lemony tahini.
