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…

Pesach Barbecue Sauce
Make a double (or triple) batch and use this BBQ sauce over and over again this Passover. There was one Pesach where I resolved: I am no longer going to experiment with meats for Pesach. The most popular main I made each year was simply whatever type of meat I served with this sauce. There’s…
Chummus Ganoush
Get more flavor for less work! Make and serve two dips at once with this Hummus Ganuosh. In our Condiments & Dips section, you’ll find plenty of options to pair with your challah or sourdough. Somehow, this has turned into an entire course on its own! Browse all our dips here! My personal go-to dips…
Kosher Kopycat: Tuna Carpaccio
A refreshing and surprisingly different way to serve your tuna crudo. At our house, the girls have a bit of an obsession with raw fish. The boys at the table have learned to look the other way and stick to their chummus with garlic confit and sourdough, while the girls polish off another form of…
Garlic Toasted Rice
How to make rice that’s so good, you’ll want to taste it straight from the pot. I have been cooking rice like this for….a long time. I don’t remember a different way of preparing rice. Actually, I didn’t know there was a different way to prepare rice, unless you were tossing a Trader Joe’s bag…
The Diced Veggie Soup
It’s the homey, comforting, delicious vegetable soup that you always thought you’d make as a mother. Now’s your chance to make a great one. Honestly, I didn’t expect this to be as good. I thought I was making a soup that was as basic as it gets. That classic type of vegetable soup that I…
Best Ever Date Bark
It’s a surprisingly satisfying and healthyish treat Do you love a good candy bar? My favorite is a Smirk bar (the kosher version of Snicker’s) but, whenever I indulge in one, I get that sugar high that leaves me feeling kind of “eh” after. Then my daughter showed me this fun date bark idea, and…
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,…
Take Your Israeli Salad Up a Notch with Pomegranate and Olives
Your basic Israeli salad gets a big upgrade with three simple additions: pomegranates, olives, and sumac (which might be a new addition to your spice cabinet!) Each week, one of the ever present things on my list is chopping the Israeli salad. It’s one of those basics that needs to be in my fridge. I…
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…
