Gluten-Free Anise Biscuits (Reifat)

Gluten-Free Almond Pear Cake (DF)

Vegan Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cake
Up until a month ago I didn’t like the flavor of sweet peanut butter, such as in PB&J and Reese’s. It took me almost a decade to like peanut butter in general and another decade to like it sweetened. It’s…
ketoish dark chocolate & tahini truffles
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…
gluten & grain-free bagels
They are gluten-free, grain-free, plant-based, easy and quick to make and satisfying like their New Yorker relatives.
savory vegetable crumble

Cashew e pepe
I have serious writer’s block. My brain slams the door in my face every time I sit down to write, just like our nasty upstairs neighbor. I knocked on her door and begged her to ask her little girls to…
Basic Porridge
If you love porridge, great. If you don’t, I would love to change your mind about it. First you should know that I totally get why you don’t like porridge because me too for years until I had a good…
Cauliflower Tabouli
I always roast my cauliflower but never thought to chop it finely and make a beautiful salad with it.
Beet soup with vegetable dumplings
A shower thought: If there’s a Vegetarian Festival in Phuket, a Herring Festival in Denmark, a Pizzafest in Naples, and a Dumpling Festival in Hong Kong, then there should definitely be a Kubbeh Festival in Jerusalem.
potato & herb salad
I love potatoes and 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 thing you can have in the…
Root Hummus
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…
