Hanukkah’s A Perfect Excuse To Talk ‘Donuts’ With Star Chef
It was thoughtful of the James Beard-Award winning chef Michael Solomonov and his business partner, Steve Cook, to come out with the “Federal Donuts” cookbook close enough to Hanukkah that I could write about it within the context of the holiday.

Recipes Cipe Pineles’s Caraway Soup With Dumplings
Cipe’s recipe for caraway soup with dumplings may make you wonder what kind of strange dish it will yield.
