Put up this brisket ahead of time and it’s hot and ready when you need it. One of my personal favorite recipes in Dinner Done cookbook is the Oven-Smoked BBQ Brisket (page 130). I’ve made it so many times I even made a Pesach version (I will share it next Pesach!). I realized it freezes…
Shabbos & Yom Tov
These Shiitake Ribs Are One Amazing Yom Tov Main (Works With Most Meats)
This meat recipe uses pantry ingredients…and you’ll be sure to hear a “wow.” I think I know my ribs. Short ribs is one of the favorite cuts of meat in my house, and I like it because I can purchase the specific quantity I need to feed my specific crowd…no huge roast necessary. Some people…
How to Make Arbes (Cooked Chickpeas)
They taste way better when homemade. I used to joke that, as a kid, I knew one of my siblings was having a baby any day now if, by Wednesday, I saw a bowl of chickpeas soaking in water on the kitchen counter. Many have the tradition to serve arbes and beer at a shalom…
Back To Challah Baking: Which One Is Our Go-To?
This is a conversation between the 5 of us (see what we did there?) and what we bake for our family. And it’s not just about challah. We are used to thinking in advance. So you’d think it’s natural for us to think about baking challah while we are here frying crepes and baking Pesach…
This Crock-Pot Shredded Beef is an Amazing Make Ahead Meal
Shredded beef works for a Yom Tov meal…and it’s also a treat to come home to it on Chol Hamoed. It’s super easy to make too! If you have limited oven space available, a Crock-Pot is a great appliance to use to get your shredded meat cooked. In addition, on Chol Hamoed you can set…
This Refreshing, Crunchy Salad Is Exactly What You Need
With all those heavy dishes over Pesach, a light and superfreshing salad like this will be very welcome! We love this salad based off a recipe by Chef Einat Admony! One day, during a photoshoot, we were deciding what to prepare (or order) for lunch while prepping this salad. Once the photos were done, our…
Dips are Everything on Pesach. And this Eggplant Dip by Faigy Murray is Just-So-Good.
When you cook for Pesach, you start with the desserts, then move onto the dips. And this eggplant dip from My Pesach Kitchen should top the list. As a young girl, I never touched dips. My father would come home every week with containers and containers. I didn’t look at them. My mother made this…
The Easiest Flanken Recipe You Will Ever Need This Pesach
Also, the most delicious one. Or so I’m told. (I never had to try another one.) This dish is one of the most popular meats on Our Table. Which is surprising, since it’s a Pesach recipe. So many have told me that this is how they cook their flanken all year round, never mind Pesach. …
Basics: How We Make Our Chicken Soup
Our basic section wouldn’t be complete without the most basic Jewish food of all – some classic chicken soup. We all agreed that we needed to have a BCP Basics post about chicken soup. But we couldn’t all agree on the best recipe. Because everyone knows, chicken soup is personal. There’s no right way or…
The 9×13 Life: How to Make Farfel in the Oven
Make this Shabbos staple in one pan with no pots or cleanup required! We’ve changed so much of how we cook over the last few years here on BCP. We started creating 9×13 dinners that are easy, quick and delicious…then it was no-mixer cakes…then we began baking dishes we usually prepare on stove top, saving…
