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…

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…
