Recipes Shabbat Meals: Sweet and Sour Stuffed Cabbage
It happens the same way each year. Just as the leaves begin to turn colors and the crisp fall air fills my lungs, I get a frantic phone call from my mother. I hear the desperation in her voice, and I know it can be about only one thing: pareve ginger snaps. These little trinkets…

Recipes Kadorei Shokolad: Israel’s Favorite Dessert
Chocolate balls are as iconic as falafel in Israel, yet most tourists have never heard of them. After all, nobody is hawking these colorful confections on street corners.

Recipes Veggies in the Sukkah — A Delicious Harvest Meal
Sukkot is one of the rare Jewish holidays that lacks traditional dishes, which is ironic since as a harvest holiday, it’s really all about the food.
