A pure and delicious eggplant salad with the simplest of ingredients. There are two types of great cooks. Some have knowledge of cooking before they officially start (perhaps they built up their knowledge little by little). Others knew nothing–they didn’t even know how to boil water for pasta before learning and catching on quickly. Rudy…

This Bar Mat is Perfect for the Endless Washing of Pesach Dishes
Somehow we seem to wash a million times more dishes during the Pesach season than any other time of year. This bar mat will eliminate the extra loads of dish towels. The vast majority of us don’t have a dishwasher for Pesach, even if we have two for the rest of the year. And even…
Crispy Pargiyot over Caulirice and Israeli Salad
That easy, comes-together-in-minutes Chol Hamoed dinner that’s fresh and flavorful. I believe Pesach foods should be just as delicious as all year foods–no compromises. So my dinners for chol hamoed mirror my usual weeknight dinners with just slight adaptations. Here I baked pargiyot (skinless, boneless chicken thighs) because they’re incredibly tender and juicy, then chopped…
Kim’s Pesach Cookie
Kim Kushner’s “Mimi’s Cookies” went viral last Pesach–in case you missed it, here it is! Kim Kushner’s readers went crazy over this cookie last year. And so we knew it was a must-try… especially since the ingredients are so simple, you may already have shopped them before seeing the recipe. Another reason why we love…
Seder Night Flanken
Easy to prep and foolproof–you’ll love these slow-cooked strips of flanken. The first time I featured this recipe on my page, I received some feedback: “I thought you can’t cook meat in the oven for Seder night, it’s roasting, etc. I always thought you have to make everything on the stovetop”. To make sure, I…
Chablis-Infused Salmon
Also known as “White Wine Salmon” (but don’t substitute with just any white wine!) This started out as a cherished Pesach recipe in my family. And when I say “my family” I mean, my family. As in, not my husband’s family. That’s because I married into a tradition that doesn’t do fish on Pesach. At…
Caramelized Pearl or Cipollini Onions
This is the perfect side dish to your steaks and other meats. Steaks are one of my favorite mains to serve, especially when there’s a long Yom Tov and a lot of meals–everyone appreciates something grilled fresh (even if it’s on a grill pan) as a change from those long braised meats. There’s more about…
The Best Long-Lasting Lipstick (+ Code)
Special offer for the Yom Tov season: Buy 2 lipsticks, get either a free lip gloss or a free mascara using code BCP. Just add the free product of your choice to cart, and the code will make it free! Makeup artist Reizy Rosenberg first shared her favorite Static lipstick last year, and we’ve been…
3-Ingredient Gluten-Free Cookies
A perfect munch… really satisfying cookies that are a cinch to make. This one comes from the same recipe book as these 2-Ingredient Date Balls, courtesy of my mother-in-law (thank you!). And it’s just as simple, with only three ingredients this time. They’re sweet and have a great texture, which makes them so enjoyable. Start…
Classic and Stunning: Set a Pesach Seder Table Like This
We look forward to seeing table inspiration every season – and this one is beautiful in its classic simplicity. On the same day that we invited Devorah Rubin from Adorn Your Table to set this Purim table, after we shot it, the table was dismantled quickly, and suddenly… it was Pesach! (Yes, it seems like…
