I apologize in advance for ruining your diet. I made these for a “healthy” dessert last night when I was craving something chocolatey. Coconut’s a fruit, right? Although individually they are not enough to ruin your diet, not being able to control yourself after eating just one might be. Ice cold balls of chewy coconut …
My friends introduced me to Lara. Well, to her bars at least. While I was getting stomach aches between classes from my Cliff bars (a personal issue, not trying to defame Cliff bars here), I never could have imagined a health bar with only natural ingredients (a personal preference, this is NOT a Lara Bar …
Yeah, right. Like I EVER go out anymore. BUT, even for those of us who don’t, some B vitamins and sugar are always well-loved. For those of us who do, there is nothing like this smoothie to clear out that dehydration. On super hot days in Jerusalem, this was my favorite smoothie to sip on while …
Chag Sameach! Happy Passover! If you’re Ashkenazi, I’m sorry that this recipe will likely make you sad. Cheer up, you can always enjoy it next week when Passover ends. If you’re Sephardic, WAHOO! You’ll LOVE this recipe while you’re missing all your leavened goodies this week. This is kind of like a two-in-one deal. The …

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 …
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 …
Leah Goldberg wrote: Perhaps only migrating birds know/ Suspended between earth and sky/The heartache of two homelands. 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 …
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 …
