Caramelized Onion Chicken

by | May 22, 2023 | 6 comment(s)

It might take a couple extra steps–but this dish is that “notch up” chicken you’ve been missing on the menu. One afternoon, I set out to make Chicken Marsala for dinner. I didn’t, though, like the look of the mushrooms I had on hand. It was time to improvise. I worked with the remaining ingredients…

Mock Techina

The nutty dip that fills in for a favorite. Years ago, I first learned about this concept when one of my neighbor’s mothers-in-law came for Pesach. Since then, it’s been a Pesach staple. While it was originally published in Passover Made Easy, I’ve double the recipe here because it makes it much easier to blend….

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…

How to Cook and Serve Tongue

by and | March 26, 2023 | 4 comment(s)

Using this method, you can stretch a tongue and impress your guests with an elegant start to your meal. When you prepare and serve this way, we found that one tongue is enough for 12-14 appetizers! It’ll look super impressive–but is not that hard to prepare. (Let’s just say, it’s way easier than rolling blintzes!). …

Chablis-Infused Salmon

by | March 23, 2023 | 0 comment(s)

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…

The easiest way to get a fresh overnight potato kugel on Yom Tov. We can’t believe we’re sharing another overnight kugel recipe, but when we heard there’s a new “Chantzy W hack” we knew we were going to be making it this Pesach–and of, course, we’d have to share it with you.  What are the…
