Hey, meat eaters! Is there a vegan in your life who’s got you muddled as you attempt to plan a holiday barbecue? Someone, perhaps, who preaches about tikkun olam and compassion for animals? You love them, but maybe not enough to give up your juicy, oil-dripping-from-your-mouth hamburger. And that’s okay — because you can have…
The gorgeous and arresting Israeli actress Gal Gadot, who proved her mettle as a hand-to-hand combat instructor in the IDF, immediately establishes a commanding presence as the star of Wonder Woman. But we never see our superhero sit down for some sustenance — there’s just no time. But at some point, a gal’s gotta eat….
I love this potato salad that my “real” Israeli sister-in-law Chanie is always whipping up for family get-togethers. It reminds me so much of the Romanian salad I grew up with, a chicken-based take on salata de boeuf. Made from leftover chicken-soup chicken, it was mixed up with everything you see below.

Classic potato salad can be so heavy, and in the summer months I love to lighten things up. Peppery arugula, sweet cherry tomatoes and bright lemon say “summer potato salad” to me.

Chef Zachary Engel, chef de cuisine at Shaya restaurant in New Orleans, has said that he lacks “a-grandma-taught-me-everything story.” No matter. He was this year’s winner of the James Beard Rising Star award. The most important meal of the day for Wonder Woman, he said, is breakfast. “You can’t stress enough the importance of breakfast.”…
We asked four-time James Beard-award-winning Israeli-American chef and restaurateur Michael Solomonov what he would serve Wonderwoman. For the main dish, he settled on a modernized version of siniya, an Arab main dish. His version uses barbecued beef cheeks cooked with tomatoes, cinnamon and tahini. “It’s usually braised meat or kabob stewed in tahini, which is…
The cuisine of Shanghai, as with that of most Chinese cities, tends to feature pork and shrimp-based dishes. This recipe uses veal instead of pork (turkey is also a fine substitute) and includes the soy sauce and sugar that distinguish Shanghai cooking. Lion’s head meatballs got their name because they were thought to resemble lions’…
