I know you probably thought that I was over you. That I had…given up. That suddenly we just…lost it. But, it’s not you, it’s me, really. Well, it’s not me, really, it’s my computer, and it’s my winter vacation. Fortunately for all of us, it’s also all the left-over/loser ingredients in my fridge before embarking …
Hi friends! I am having a major computer issue – and it’s the last week of finals – so as soon as this is settled, I will post something new. Please keep stopping by and checking in or subscribing to my blog (on the right hand side) so that you can stay in the loop …
I’ve been waiting till I thought you could think about food again. I hope you all had delicious Thanksgivings, ate over 3000 calories, and were shocked when you woke up hungry. This was one of the appetizers that I brought to our Thanksgiving dinner, and although not so much pull-apart ish as the first loaf …
A few things first. 1. Pronunciation: “Muh-rock Koo-beh Ah-dome” = Red kubbeh soup. Kind of a mouth full, so let’s just call it “kubbeh.” 2. Kibbe/kubbeh/kubbi/kubba: sort of a “tuh-may-toe v. tuh-maw-toe” deal here = dough balls (made from semolina or bulgar) stuffed with ground beef (vegetarian suggestion below). Apparently there are over 17 …
Shhhh! I have a secret. Come close. A little closer… I think I figured out how to make Cafe Bezalel’s EXTRAORDINARY jam. Now, if you’ve never had it and you’re wondering what it is, and why I’m calling something with cherry tomatoes and star anise “extraordinary,” you are probably in good company. I can actually assure …
I don’t know that Adam thought about the repercussions of making such a delicious tomato sauce when he did a couple of weeks ago. Had he, I’m nearly certain he would have kept his talents under cover because we’ve had it four time since! That night, brainstorming dinner ideas, he very casually mentioned, “You know, I could …

After posting last week, I began worrying that I have been straying from my Jerusalem-inspired cooking and settling with recipes that are simply easy to make. This is probably because Trader Joe’s is at my beck and call, the onions …
Shame on me. I’ve been a little tardy with my posting this week. As an apology, I’m posting two recipes that I’m calling “cheaters,” because you can put them together in NO time and together they almost amount to the time of making one meal. Chocolate bark is, like, the easiest thing ever. You can’t …
I should have kept my big mouth shut. After all that gloating about San Francisco summer arriving, it has been raining, raining, raining on and off for the last week. So, a warm bowl of soup seems more appropriate than a cold bowl of ice cream. This is Adam’s mom’s recipe for pea soup, and …
I know what you’re thinking: Um, Lauren, this post is about a month overdue. It’s not warm where I live anymore. Well, allow me gloat for just a moment. Because the weather is pri-taaay, pri-taaaay nice in San Francisco these days. Now, whether or not you can get the wording right the first time, we have …
