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’m crazy about eggplants. Especially when they’re roasted for a long time until their meat is very tender and sweet. The way they melt in the mouth and their umami flavor remind me of meat’s fat. The longer they cook…
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.…
I made this dish for lunch with friends and served it with hummus, tahini and burnt peppers and everybody loved it, except for my son, Leo, who doesn’t know yet how much he loves eggplants. Alex, my younger son, who…
Does the world need another pancake recipe? Do you need another black t-shirt? This is actually not another pancake recipe, it’s the most cakey pancake I ever made. I make pancakes on a weekly yet I rarely make the same…

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…

I experimented with my grandmother’s Moroccan Anise Biscuits (Reifat) recipe and came up with a delicious gluten-free version (and can be made vegan). They’re easy to make, only one bowl to wash and contain small amount of sugar (coconut sugar).…
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…
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…
Hamin (Chulent) is a traditional Jewish overnight stew, which Jews around the world used to make for Shabbat since they couldn’t cook or light fire from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. Although I don’t observe the Shabbat I sometimes to…
