You read the title, and 90 percent of you thought, “What is Grandma Pizza?” Growing up in New York, my choices at the pizza store were always a slice of pizza or a slice of Sicilian pie. A regular slice of pizza was and is triangle-shaped, with a thinner crust and Sicilian is a square…

30 Minute Thin Crust Pizza Dough
2 14-inch thin crust pizza (or 2 balls of dough) So many great pizza dough recipes need time. And time isn’t always on our side. This dough was originally used to make French bread, but it’s perfect as a thin and crispy pizza dough. A thin crust pizza dough works great when you want to…
This Recipe That Is Not In The Cookbook. But The Picture Sure Is.
I probably should have put it into “Our Table,” because, after all, if it is on the table, it’s deserves to be there. If you own my cookbook Our Table, chances are you wondered why there is this really appetizing and very Italian looking dish on page 81, front and center, yet….no recipe for it. Well,…
Thursdays not the same without cholent? Please even meat-lovers with a hearty pareve cholent.
Is dairy, cheesy food not your thing? This is the nine days meal for you. For some, nine days with no meat is really difficult.

You can be drinking a cold, refreshing blended iced coffee slushie in about 90 seconds. In Dairy Made Easy, I included a recipe for a Blended Coffee Frappe, but the texture is more like a blended coffee, not like the icy slushie that I buy at the bagel store. At the time, I was…
Are You Tired of Biting Open Freeze Pops and Getting Sticky? Wish There Was a Better Way?
There is. And your kids will never need your scissor or your teeth again when it’s time for freeze pops. Freeze pops are summer’s most economical refresher. They’re the treat our kids enjoy at the end of each camp day, and almost every freezer has a box ready to go. If you overlook the food…
Cherry Berry Smoothie
This recipe is a basic that’s refreshing, delicious – and satisfying. Summer means cherries and summer means smoothies. Ergo, summer means cherry smoothies.
