This is the dairy, buttery, oozing with chocolate, and dense type of Kokosh Cake that we love. When I was growing up, we always made and enjoyed homemade babka or babka buns, and the recipe that my mother and siblings return to again and again is the one I published in Fresh and Easy Kosher…

Bulgar Nectarine Salad with Feta
It’s a refreshing and inviting salad featuring the best of summer with fresh, sweet nectarines, warm bulgar, and feta…and you can serve it in a bowl, or even better, beautifully displayed on a platter. Editor’s Note: Renee Muller came across this salad, prepared by Ruchy Frankel, when she traveled to London for her niece’s wedding….
Simple, Wholesome Meals for the Nine Days
If your family enjoys dairy, it’s simple. The Nine Days is not a time that we want to be looking for new dairy recipes. Nope, we’re not looking for indulgent, dairy things like we do for Shavuos. That defeats the purpose. The days are long and hot, and we simply want to feed our families…
Eggs In A Pita
And why you need this breakfast/brunch (or sometimes supper) idea in your life I’m not sure when I started preparing these pitas stuffed with scrambled eggs and yummy gooey cheese, but I have a feeling that they were born during the Covid lockdown. There is a very vivid recollection of my then 5-year-old son eating…
Tomato Carpaccio

Fruity No Sugar Added Pre-Fast Sports Drink
Ok, so this isn’t exactly a sports drink…then you’d have all the sugars in there. It’s pretty much just a ‘doctored up’ cup of coconut water. But I couldn’t put that in the title in case you’re like me and have an aversion to plain coconut water. Now hear me out, what if I told…
Strawberry Crunch Ice Cream Cake
The most perfect, refreshing, 4-ingredient strawberry ice cream dessert. My first attempt to duplicate the flavors of the Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars I remembered enjoying as a kid came when writing Kids Cooking Made Easy. In that cookbook, I made a vanilla streusel and a strawberry streusel made using strawberry jel powder, and combined…
