We…

Chummus Bassar
You’ve tasted Chummus Bassar–the chummus dish with spiced ground meat–before. But this one is simply the best version. Editor’s Note: We first tasted Chayale’s Chummus Bassar when she had prepared it for a get together. We tasted it. It was simply better than any Chummus Bassar we had ever tasted (and we have tasted lots…
Pavlovas With Lemon Curd Cream and Berries
Pavlovas are a show-stopping meringue dessert, and this one is filled with lemony goodness and berries–everyone has room for it. If you know me, you know that I have something for lemons, and….meringue. It’s that delicate but vibrant flavor that just “does it.” Add some fresh berries, and who can resist? We always have room…
Pomegranate Leek Relish for Your Rosh Hashanah Simanim
Instead of making leek patties, we make this tangy relish that combines leek and pomegranate. I’ve never made leek patties for our Rosh Hashanah simanim. (We do have a recipe for them here on Between Carpools.) It’s not something my family would enjoy eating. For a few years I made Yussi Weisz’s leek and olive…

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Ramekins (Pareve)
A shortbread cookie, cheesecake layer, tart apples, oat crumble, generously topped with caramel–it’s a combination that’s too good to pass up. This isn’t a new recipe. I’ve been making these in the bar version for years. But I never thought to share because, one, this dessert is not my idea. It’s a classic popular dessert…
