A Beginner Foodie’s Guide to DC
While traveling in Washington DC with my boyfriend Dov on a hot summer weekend, I was refreshed by the large variety of seemingly-healthy restaurants around.

Your Hummus Now Comes in a Cone
Israelis love their hummus. It is a nation of Zohans who have no qualms eating it three times a day and any time in between. But when I told my Israeli friends I wanted to try hummus ice cream they looked perplexed. “Hummus ice cream? Who would want to eat that?” or “That sounds disgusting….

Kutsher Tribeca’s Jewish Food Porn Flick
A knife slides seductively down a slender stalk of celery. A plump loaf of rye splits to reveal a seductive sprinkling of seeds.

Dairy: Oy, It’s Complicated
Last week’s op-ed by Mark Bittman made its way around my circles in seconds.

Shabbat Meals: Taking the Cake
When I was growing up, every Thursday night in my house was cooking night. Ovens running, music playing, pans spattering, my sister, mother and I would gather in the kitchen to prepare the Shabbat meals. The rest of the week my sister and I could do whatever we wanted as long as our homework was…
