Sweet Potato Rice & Quinoa Pilaf
Six years ago I didn’t think I can cook rice together with the vegetables or meat in one pot. Now I use this method to cook all kind of things, especially when I’m in rush or feeling lazy – it…

Honestly, I don’t know what to call this dish. I think Kibbeh is the most appropriate name for it other then experimenting with black beans – I was trying to make veggie burger but I over-processed the beans and added a large egg, which made the mixture too mushy to…
Veggie burgers with melted tahini
The first time I had a burger was in the beginning of nineties, in Israel. It was soon after I moved in with my twin friends. David, their New Yorker dad/excellent cook made them for lunch. The first time I had a veggie burger was in 2000 at a…

Alex: Mommy, if Anthony Bourdain came over to dinner at our house, do you think he would like your food? Me: I think he would, but he might need to go eat some pork belly or lobster fat afterwards. I actually have a few things…
Simple Thai-Style Coconut Soup
I love Thai food but I don’t like it when restaurants make it overly sweet. Sugar has a negative affect on the immune system. I feel weak when I eat it and my slender body immediately becomes an greenhouse for fungus.
