You might also know this steak as “”Delmonico Strips” or “NY Strip Steak.” I have been noticing this nicely marbled cut of meat on the shelf at the butcher’s lately. Sometimes called “delmonico strips” sometimes “NY style strip steak,” and they are intrinsically the same thing. It’s a French roast cut into strips which makes…
Grilled Chicken Salad with the Best Nuts
With minimal ingredients and maximum flavor, this is the only grilled chicken salad you need this Pesach. Sometimes we put our minds together and create a recipe, together. Whenever we do that, magic happens. We did that when we came up with the Berry Coulis (which we even created a Pesach version since it was…
Nina’s Pesach Cookies
These cookies are the first thing you should bake for Pesach This is the cookie that I look forward to on Pesach each year. It’s absolutely perfect and not in any way “Pesachdig” tasting. It’s crispy, delicious, and tastes like coconut and almonds, the perfect addition to your coffee (or tea) break. We have been…
Which Spatulas Are Our Favorites?
They’re super convenient and are a great help in the kitchen. Learn what these types of spatulas can do for you.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Cheese Muffins
These Chocolate Cheese Muffins are an absolute favorite for Pesach. You may be baking them on repeat. Ever since this recipe by Faigy Cohen was featured in the Whisk’s Pesach Edition of 2022 (Ami Magazine’s Food Magazine), I have been adding 3-4 tubs of cream cheese to my Pesach grocery list. Because, these muffins are…
Kosher Kopycat: Tuna Carpaccio
A refreshing and surprisingly different way to serve your tuna crudo. At our house, the girls have a bit of an obsession with raw fish. The boys at the table have learned to look the other way and stick to their chummus with garlic confit and sourdough, while the girls polish off another form of…
Garlic Toasted Rice
How to make rice that’s so good, you’ll want to taste it straight from the pot. I have been cooking rice like this for….a long time. I don’t remember a different way of preparing rice. Actually, I didn’t know there was a different way to prepare rice, unless you were tossing a Trader Joe’s bag…
Best Ever Date Bark
It’s a surprisingly satisfying and healthyish treat Do you love a good candy bar? My favorite is a Smirk bar (the kosher version of Snicker’s) but, whenever I indulge in one, I get that sugar high that leaves me feeling kind of “eh” after. Then my daughter showed me this fun date bark idea, and…
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Mousse Cups
It’s decadent, rich, and delicious. These Peanut Butter Mousse Cups are a special occasion dessert that you can prepare in advance and simply pull out of the freezer when it’s time to indulge. This is the type of dessert that my whole family looks forward to. It is also the type of patchka that I…
The 9 x 13 Life: The Amaretto Cake (or, the Orange Juice Cake)
We skipped the Amaretto, but added convenience. This cake is probably the oldest one in my handwritten cookbook. Do you remember those binders, with flashcards for writing down recipes? I know, I’m dating myself here, and that’s ok. I’m sure that most of you here do not know what I’m talking about unless your Mom…
