I’m in quarantine in Massachusetts. My daughter, 21, is locked down in London. I have nourished her though illness, grief, anxiety over exams, boys and college essays. She’s had little distress in her life that hasn’t been soothed by shakshuka, sweet potatoes, or scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. But now, when her need for comfort…
It’s like the Bachelor, but louder, more heymishe and with hummus. While the TV series puts one man in a mansion with a bunch of women and conjures up lots of tears and arguments, Yaniv Cohen’s real-life series of massive Shabbat dinners fed tens of thousands of people over the years. This Moroccan-style salmon is…

The turmeric broth is fragrant, warm, and comforting, with earthy, slightly gingery flavors. In this recipe, it’s the vital wheat gluten that gives a meaty…
What’s the star ingredient in shakshuka, the beloved north African skillet dish that simmers sunny side up eggs in a thick, peppery tomato sauce? Depends who you ask. For those who treat shakshuka as the ultimate everything-but-the-kitchen-sink concoction (adding leafy greens, halloumi cheese, and Indian curry powder), the core component remains the same, no matter…
SERVES 4 AS A SIDE I love cooking with cauliflower because it can handle anything: anchovies, chiles, olives—pretty much any strong, forceful flavors. Cauliflower is on every single menu in Israel, always roasted or fried, and whenever we put it on our menu, it’s the most popular vegetable we serve. Nothing else comes close. Which…
World Peace Cookies A little bit French chocolate sablé and a little bit American chocolate chip, World Peace Cookies are a force of their own: fine and sandy, but with a friendly, soft chew and generous pockets and wisps of chocolate. As the story goes, Dorie Greenspan’s neighbor told her that a daily dose of…
