Passion Fruit Lotus Cups
So good. So rich and satisfying. So elegant. And so, so easy to make. I’ve been making this on repeat. Many years ago, my sister-in-law made this dessert while I was visiting her in Israel. I loved it so much…the tart passion fruit so perfectly balanced the rich mousse below it. And then there was…

It’s these simple kinds of desserts that are the ones we enjoy the most on Pesach. Before photoshoot days, we try and prepare some things in advance so that we can shoot them quickly and efficiently. But that doesn’t work for every dish. Some simply need those step by step photos, and this is one…
Do You Love a Classic Crispy Raspberry Jam Bar?
We made these with both raspberry and apple filling for a welcome change. The secret? Use a hard pan, not a disposable for perfect crispiness in every bite. Sure, you can make these in a 9×13 pan. But, skip the disposable this time. Use a real, hard pan. Since we love these bars so much,…

What’s more fun? Making this sugar-coated fruit, or eating it? It was a Wednesday night and instead of doing homework, baths, brushing teeth… we were busy watching chefs cook interesting and unusual dishes online. “One more!” was heard after each short video, followed by either “that’s so yummmmm” or, more often than not “ewww who…
