Sweet potato noodles are Korean vermicelli or glass noodles made from sweet potato starch. Some people love their unique, slightly chewy texture and some don’t—but since I’m sharing this recipe, you know I’m obsessed! When I go to a Korean…
I experimented with my grandmother’s Moroccan Anise Biscuits (Reifat) recipe and came up with a delicious gluten-free version that can also be made vegan. These biscuits are easy to make, only require one bowl to wash, and contain a small…
I learned to cook from both of my parents, mostly from my mother. But I learned to improvise from my father. He taught me not to stick to a script and not to let anything stop me from cooking, even…
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 (the Sephardic version of Cholent) is a traditional Jewish overnight stew that has been made by Jews around the world for generations, specifically for Shabbat, as they were prohibited from cooking or lighting fires from Friday sundown to Saturday…
NEVER THROW AWAY OVERLY RIPE BANANAS! Especially if they’re brownish and honey-like. When they reach that state their flavor is intense. They are also very sweet so you don’t need to add lots of sugar to the batter. I used…
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…
It’s funny that I know how to make ratatouille but didn’t know how to spell ratatuille… it took me five attempts to spell it right RATATOUILLE ? I need to explain, to the French of us, that for me, any…
I was craving cookies, healthy cookies, but I had run out of coconut sugar and maple syrup, and so I used molasses instead, and came up with these crispy, subtly sweet, warmly spiced treat. While molasses has a strong, almost…
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…
Don’t you find it annoying when you search for a recipe online, click on a picture, scroll down, and down, and down and down, and after 10 seconds, you’re like, “screw you, I don’t need your recipe!” So from now…
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…
I spent half of my life in Israel. The other half I spent moving around. In total I lived seven years in New York, five in Los Angeles and five in Mallorca. I am Israeli and will always be, I…
Rice pilaf – what a great effortless dish to make when you have little motivation and time to cook or clean after—everything goes into one pot, preferably a high-rimmed skillet with a lid. If you make it with basmati rice,…
I love potatoes! Anything that is made with potatoes. From Russian potato salad to tortilla Española to Belgian pommes frites to campfire potatoes. Now that we have a fireplace – the second-best invention after a dryer – we bake them…
I had started to write this post in the summer, while we where visiting Israel, but never finished it for the same reasons I haven’t been able to start or finish any posts since leaving Los Angeles back in June; lack of time, lack of motivation…
We’re moving! Again? Where to? I can’t tell you yet. You’ll have to wait for my next post. But I’ll give you a hint… It’s a small island in Spain. But before we settle down, we will do some traveling,…
