This gluten free babka from Simply Pesach and Beyond goes on your must-bake list this Pesach. Editor’s Note: After Renee Muller styled the photos for Rivky Kleiman’s Simply Pesach and Beyond, she told the rest of us, “We must feature the Meltaway Babka on Between Carpools. Rivky is a genius.” She had tasted it, and…

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…
Rocky Road Marshmallow Pesach Brownies
We used Lieber’s cocoa and chocolate chips (the best, for real!) to make these extra special gluten free brownie bars that are so special, they work as a complete dessert. Last year, we set about making our Pesach menus, full of BCP tried-and-true favorites. But then we realized–that might be easy now, but then what…
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…
Date Spread Cookies (“Megulgalot Tmarim”)
If you’re not familiar with this classic cookie, you soon will be because they’re too good to pass up. So whether you call them by their original name, Megulgalot Tmarim, or you go with the easier “Date Spread Cookies,” just bake them! Megulgalot Tmarim are a popular treat in Israel, a delicate and flaky cookie,…
Toasted Marshmallow Sandwich Cookies
These fun cookies with a marshmallow filling are a kid’s favorite (adults like them too but might not admit it). The first time I made these cookies, I had no grand plans. They didn’t need to go into my freezer for anything in particular, and they were available for the tasting. That meant they were…
Gluten Free Cookie Dough Bark
It’s just five ingredients and so simple, you can even bake it last minute on a Friday. Plus, it’s wholesome so you can feel good about this treat too. Editor’s Note: When deciding what recipe to feature from Rorie Weisberg’s newest book, written in collaboration with the talented Sara Goldstein of @tomatoestomatoes, More Food You…
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…
The No-Mixer Honey Cake
Mix it in a bowl, then bake it in a Bundt or loaf pan. This is the easiest honey cake you will ever make! This recipe started out as a 9 x 13 idea. We said, “Let’s see if we can create a 9 x 13 version of a honey cake?!” So we made one….
Dairy Kokosh Cake
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…
