Meyer lemon curd hamentaschen is the last best Purim recipe of 2021
This recipe is not just about coming up with a hamentaschen that is actually, you know, good. It’s about my nostalgia for the lemon hand pies I used to buy at the supermarket as a kid. They were junky, sugary calzones, shelf-stable, filled with a too-sweet lemon custard, and I loved them. Either they disappeared…

My Zabar’s hamentaschen revelation
My girlfriend Felice bought a Zabars goodie box for Valentines Day. Now that’s a present I can get down with. And yesterday I had the bagels and lox. You can’t get this kind of lox in Los Angeles. Actually, Zabars calls it “Novie.” It’s oily, it reminds me of the smoked salmon of yore that…

Seared Tuna on Sushi Rice
This recipe is easy, beautiful, healthy, and delicious. If your kids are too little for raw fish, just give them a bowl of sushi rice with avocados and cucumbers, and lox if they are big enough. A bowl of edamame or a cucumber salad goes great with this dish. Ingredients 1 pound tuna steaks 4…

Kaddish for Knishes? Post-pandemic, Jewish delis face an uncertain future
“Once this whole thing is over,” my father declared, early in January, “one of the first places we have to go is to Sammy’s!” He was speaking, of course, about Sammy’s Roumanian Steakhouse, the legendary restaurant on New York’s Lower East Side known for its chopped liver, garlicky karnatzel and blackened skirt steaks, leaden latkes,…

Beef Stew with Syrah
I made this in an Instant Pot, but you can easily make a stove top, just know it will take longer. I love syrah in this stew, as opposed to a more traditional cabernet or Burgundy because its dryness adds a lovely acidic taste to cut through the richness of beef and potatoes. Ingredients 3…
