It’s not your typical dip–whether or not you like spicy things, you’ll love these jalapeños and lemon on your fish, challah, or sourdough. So, this was totally unexpected. This recipe came from my friend Malky Blum–and I don’t know if you so much call it a recipe, or just an amazing combination… so amazing, that…

This Gluten Free Beef Risotto Can Become Your New Cholent
Easier on the stomach even for those who don’t have a gluten free diet, this risotto still has the classic Shabbos taste! We got this recipe from our friend who got it from her friend, who got it from her friend who created it because she wanted a lighter cholent. While some of us were…
Orange Glazed Salmon

Creamy Butternut & Lentil Soup
Add some protein to your butternut squash soup…you might like this version more than the veggie-only version. How many years have you been making the same butternut squash soup? Forever?

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.

Tuna Ceviche: The Perfect Summer Fish Course. We Never Tire Of It.
Whether you are serving it for Shabbos lunch or Shalosh Seudos, I can guarantee you will not have a drop left. Summer is here and I am not in the mood for cooked fish. Unless it’s steaming hot, just-came-out-of-the oven, type of fish. So, Friday night is easy. I usually serve this Moroccan Turbot, and we never…

Forget those jarred sauces. Rorie’s Sticky Silan Brisket, from food you love that loves you back, is just the meat you want for Yom Tov.
