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…
Pesach Ice Cream Sandwiches
Chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, and sprinkles are so much better together in this Pesach dessert. This is the perfect example of two things that are just ok on their own being way more amazing together. When I’m hosting a lot of people for a meal over Yom Tov, rather than be busy making lots…

Date Spread Cookies (“Megulgalot Tmarim”)

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…
Chestnut Mushroom Soup
This soup is deeply flavorful, a bit different, and easy to prepare. The umami flavor of mushrooms and a delightful nuttiness of chestnuts is a perfect match! Our discussions on “new soups” started a few months ago when we were planning the content for the Sukkos season. One of our colleagues had mentioned that she…
