Stuffed cabbage is the ultimate comfort food you need this Shabbat
Comfort. A port in a storm. A bowl of something so warm and hearty, that when you taste it you forget what you were thinking. Your mind goes blank. It’s like meditation, your mind is completely quiet. You forget where you are. You escape into memory. I am on my parent’s back porch in Boston….

No company this Sukkot, but at least there is pumpkin chocolate chip cake

I love having a house overflowing with company, Sukkah building parties, brunches, cocktail parties, even weeknight dinners are celebrations. The holiday is long enough to luxuriate in, with days and…

Rutabaga Latkes
Serves: 4 to 6 Rutabaga, the zippier relative of the turnip, is similarly overlooked as a drab winter storage crop vegetable. These simple latkes help the humble rutabaga make a star appearance over the more traditional potato pancake. Because they are dense, using a food processor to shred the vegetables is much easier than doing…
