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? It’s simple, everyone likes it, and if you’re buying precut butternut squash (is that the vegetable that virtually everyone buys precut?) it’s really quick to…

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…
Roasted Veggie Turbot Over Sweet Potatoes
This beautiful fish dish is fitting for Yom Tov-but it’s also a complete meal for any day of the week. The truth is, I originally made this because I hadn’t planned what to make. I had picked up some fish–but hadn’t decided on a recipe. Time was short. Dinner had to be served. I sliced…
Frozen Raspberry Crumb Bar Ice Cream Cups
You’ve never had a better version of ice cream and sorbet together. Ever since we published this recipe in Dinner Done (or perhaps, beginning when we were working on the book, I’ve been making this dessert on repeat, switching off between this and the coulis and crumbs. It’s really hard for me to remember what I…
Freezer-Friendly and Delicious Japanese Noodles
This side dish can be prepared in advance and frozen, and nobody will know. It’s delicious Japanese noodles that taste just as good fresh and they do when they’re rewarmed. Sometimes you just want to cook up one big recipe (maybe even double it), freeze it, and know that it’s done. We do that often with…

Some are good for baking, and some for straight up eating. But there are so many varieties. How do I know what’s best? There are thousands of varieties of apples. Apple varieties span across countries from around the world. There are so many different types of apples that it can be hard to keep track…
Bake Your Gefilte Fish
Forget the pot. Forget the onion. Forget the carrot. It’s 2022. Almost ‘23. We will never stop eating gefilte fish (serving it, at least. Debatable on the eating part), but, we will figure out how to simplify the cooking. Know that sticky smelly pot that you really don’t enjoy washing out? It’s a distant memory…
The Tahini-Chickpea Dip
This tahini-chickpea dip is a great mashup of your favorite Shabbos staples. I love having a variety of dips on my Shabbos table. chummus, techina, my favorite tomato and eggplant carpaccio (will share a hack in a few weeks to make this easier to prepare!) are pretty much the basics every week. Since I like changing it up a bit,…
How to Crisp Up That Baguette or Sourdough Bread
Nothing beats a fresh loaf. But when you have one left over, you can easily make it *almost* fresh again. Do you sometimes have leftover loaves that don’t seem quite as exciting the next day? Or do you like to shop/bake ahead of time and by the time you want to serve the bread, it’s…

You always wanted to have a go-to rugelach recipe. Whether you love the chocolate or vanilla versions, your rugelach will now finally be coming out of your own oven. (Perfect for break-the-fast!) As our kids grow up, they’ve become unofficial ambassadors for BCP. They help us out with posts like What Does My Daughter Need…
