Recipes Shabbat Traditions: ‘Caterpillar Cake’ and Hamburgers
The first time I saw my Granny putting ice in her hamburger mixture, I thought she was crazy, but it’s something she did nearly every Friday night when I visited as a child.

Recipes The CSA Psolet Challenge: Week One
Frisée! My CSA nemesis. What to do with this morass of spindly, bitter leaves that poke wildly in my mouth?

Recipes What’s for (Shabbat) Dinner? Spanish Tapas Platters
Last March I visited a good friend studying in Spain. Being early spring, I packed scarves, boots, and jeans for our trip to Valencia. My friend and I arrived at the hostel in a full sweat, annoyed at just how inaccurate the weatherman had been. Tired and hot, I checked out the forlorn hostel kitchen….

Recipes 5 Summer Shabbat Salads
During the summer it has to be a pretty special occasion for me crank up my oven and roast something. And, to be honest, it’s really unnecessary. When so many fresh vegetables and varieties of fruit are in season, it is the perfect time to make a Shabbat dinner out of salads. The leftovers make…
