Shavuot is one of those culinary centric holidays where everyone is trying to outdo everyone else with crazy over the top dairy recipes and anyone who is lactose intolerant gives a heavy sigh and reaches for Lactaid. I find that a pasta or fish entrée is usually the best way […]

So, everyone who’s ever purchased a bundle or 3 of parsley for Pesach and then still seemed to have a bundle or 3 of parsley left when the Seders were over please raise your hand. Truthfully, except on Pesach most of us use parsley as a garnish and well…..a garnish […]

One of the biggest problems I have when it comes to Purim is how I’m going to fill my myriad of Shalot Manot baskets and not have to take a second mortgage out on my house to buy all the stuff it will take to not make them look awkwardly […]

Let’s face it, the “OTHER” New Year’s Eve (yes, I’m talking Rosh Hashanah here) was several months ago and quite frankly, I’m still eating left overs. The December 31st New Year’s Eve is NOT a night where I want to go anywhere, because I know that that everyone else will […]

I know it’s crazy that we just finished cleaning up from Pesach and I’m starting to plan for the next holiday but, come on, it’s Shavuot, the dairy holiday and I’ve given myself permission to go cheese cream and butter crazy trying out some new recipes. In my defense, […]

I was once told by a great chef that there are as many recipes for Charoset as there are Jews in the world. I never truly understood that saying until I was a guest at a Seder where 2 sisters, both in their 70’s started discussing their grandmother’s recipe. They […]

Long hours of deliberation and work (not to mention 300 trips to the grocery for ingredients we forgot on the previous 299 trips) go into making Pesach meals sumptuous. The tastiness of the meal can set the mood for the entire day so, of course, we want everything to be […]

Doesn’t everyone buy too much horseradish for Pesach.? It so doesn’t matter if you’ve opened just one jar of the ready made stuff or lug home one big honking hunk of root on the Seder plate, there’s always leftovers. You can, of course, dump the unused portion in the closest […]
