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…
Teriyaki Portobello Salad with Spiralized Carrots and Beets
This is a beautiful, new salad with the perfect amount of umami and crunch. When Renee Muller started writing a column for Ami Magazine she asked me for advice. I told her no one will invite you for meals anymore. And so it came to be. (No worries, I invite her!) In my case, my sister-in-law…
Easy Minestrone Soup
The quickest way to that classic pot of soup. I asked the rest of the Between Carpools team: does this count as a recipe if I used those bags of minestrone soup mix? And they said: Yes, of course! We’re not always in the mood to both chop and measure ingredients (just a little bit…
Outrageous Kanafe Ice Cream
There’s so much flavor in this (easy to prepare!) ice cream dessert, it’s hard to even begin describing it to you. I have had the concept of a knafeh ice cream simmering in my mind for a while now. But before we begin introducing this amazing dessert, I need to begin by crediting two other…
Tangy Asian Chicken Fingers
It’s your favorite crispy chicken fingers, but with a twist that everyone will love. In our house, any sort of fried chicken is always a hit! We love this recipe. It tastes great and has a punch of flavor that is a nice change from traditional schnitzel. I often double the marinade and save half…
Churros
We knew we had to bring you this perfect-for-Chanukah item, straight from the fryer and straight from Best of Kosher. This recipe, originally from Everyday Secret Restaurant Recipes, made the cut when we were deciding which recipe from the book to include in Best of Kosher. Why? It’s been a favorite and a go-to ever…
Orange Glazed Salmon
This salmon is fresh, vibrant, plus takes only minutes to prepare. It might become your favorite weeknight dinner. Freshly baked (read hot) salmon is just better. We all know that. Now, did you know that skillet seared salmon is even better? Yes, it is. And it’s not scary to prepare at all. Pinky promise. Also,…
Creamy Butternut & Lentil Soup
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…
What Do You Do With Leftover Chicken After Making Chicken Soup?
Turn that pale and boiled chicken into an amazing meal for another night. Growing up we called chicken that was used to flavor the chicken soup, “chicken of the sea.” My mother would never serve it. She knew all of my siblings wouldn’t touch it. Chicken of the sea was not for us. But then…
