This checks all the boxes: family-friendly, quick-to-prep, cost-effective…and best of all, deliciously smokey. I’m not sure if it’s just food people (food writers, avid cooks… ) that go through food phases. One example might be obsessing over a particular salad combination and making it over and over again. Or creating different variations of a similar…

How to Cook and Serve Tongue
Using this method, you can stretch a tongue and impress your guests with an elegant start to your meal. When you prepare and serve this way, we found that one tongue is enough for 12-14 appetizers! It’ll look super impressive–but is not that hard to prepare. (Let’s just say, it’s way easier than rolling blintzes!). …
Chablis-Infused Salmon
Also known as “White Wine Salmon” (but don’t substitute with just any white wine!) This started out as a cherished Pesach recipe in my family. And when I say “my family” I mean, my family. As in, not my husband’s family. That’s because I married into a tradition that doesn’t do fish on Pesach. At…
Roasted Chickpeas
Elevate your hummus/chummus plate (or how to keep it simple!) with roasted chickpeas. Chummus plates are a great item to serve as an appetizer, or on the table alongside the appetizer. Dressing up the traditional chummus plate is a great idea as well. Read our post on how to plate your hummus (+ 2 more…
Chevy’s Pistachio Salmon
A sweet sauce, a savory crunch…it’s classic and fresh in one salmon dish. My sisters-in-law really deserve a lot of credit. Since I’ve been sharing so many recipes for years, of course I’m constantly asking them for their latest and greatest. I pick their brains and ask what they’re cooking lately. “Anything new? And can…
Sushi Donuts
Make it a fun family activity, a special Chanukah dinner, or even a Chanukah party program…whichever way you go, you are guaranteed a delicious experience. By now, you have probably seen sushi donuts sold in many sushi restaurants or take outs, especially this time of year. They look very pretty and hard to do. But,…
Daniella’s Panko-Topped Kale Salad from Best of Kosher
This salad by Daniella Silver in Best of Kosher is one of our favorites… some of us are just addicted. While we were working on Best of Kosher, we thought that we would find that we were already familiar with all the “favorites!” After all, we’re food writers. We should know about all the famous…
Orange Glazed Salmon
This salmon is fresh, vibrant, plus takes only minutes to prepare. It might become your favorite weeknight dinner. Freshly baked (read hot) salmon is just better. We all know that. Now, did you know that skillet seared salmon is even better? Yes, it is. And it’s not scary to prepare at all. Pinky promise. Also,…
The Eggplant Carpaccio Shortcut
Nobody will guess how easy to prep this really is. Add it to your menu today. Leah and Renee have been serving up this hack all summer long, and, as a result, sharing this recipe, which isn’t even a recipe, with all those who subsequently asked for the recipe. It’s that good. It’s the type that…
Kosher Kopykat: Turkey-Wrapped Dates
You may have tried these meat-filled and wrapped dates in a restaurant and thought: this is really gourmet. But perhaps you didn’t imagine just how easy peasy they are to recreate. Most of the time that I eat out at restaurants, I don’t come home with much inspiration. But then there’s the unique times where…
