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.
This is the kind of dish I consider humble yet smart. Where the ingredients speak for themselves.
MY SOURDOUGH STARTER IS READY, NOW WHAT? For an instant gratifictionst like me, the process of making sourdough bread can be sour indeed. It’s not the labor that gets me, the mixing, kneading and shaping is pretty easy. It’s the…
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…
I bake bread on a weekly basis. I make gluten-free sourdough for me, wheat sourdough for my husband and boys, challahs for Shabbat for my guests and simple yeasted bread when I don’t have time or patience to make a…
If you’re one of those who love anisey flavors, this is definitely for you. If you’re not a big fun or you dislike anything with fennel, anise or licorice, I feel sorry for you but hopeful. I know from experience…

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…

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…
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…
