Caramel Date Truffles
Three ingredients. Beyond easy. Beyond yum. And so feel-good! I first served this on Pesach, but they became such a favorite that I now make them all year round – they’re really amazing, special, and the perfect thing to keep in the freezer to bring out for dessert. I love that they’re not junky –…
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…
Roasted Veggie Chummus Platter
It’s the most gorgeous of appetizers and an absolute party in a platter. “Victoria, Shana our bookkeeper said she made the Chummus Platter from Leah Nagel of Truffles and Trends and she said it’s amazing. It’s very much your type. Do you want to try it?” Absolutely, I did. I had worked with Leah Nagel…
Lemony Jalapeños
It’s not your typical dip–whether or not you like spicy things, you’ll love these jalapeños and lemon on your fish, challah, or sourdough. So, this was totally unexpected. This recipe came from my friend Malky Blum–and I don’t know if you so much call it a recipe, or just an amazing combination… so amazing, that…
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,…
Frozen Raspberry Crumb Bar Ice Cream Cups
You’ve never had a better version of ice cream and sorbet together. Ever since we published this recipe in Dinner Done (or perhaps, beginning when we were working on the book, I’ve been making this dessert on repeat, switching off between this and the coulis and crumbs. It’s really hard for me to remember what I…
Kosher Kopykat: Turkey-Wrapped Dates
You may have tried these meat-filled and wrapped dates in a restaurant and thought: this is really gourmet. But perhaps you didn’t imagine just how easy peasy they are to recreate. Most of the time that I eat out at restaurants, I don’t come home with much inspiration. But then there’s the unique times where…
What Kind of Apples Should I Use?
Some are good for baking, and some for straight up eating. But there are so many varieties. How do I know what’s best? There are thousands of varieties of apples. Apple varieties span across countries from around the world. There are so many different types of apples that it can be hard to keep track…
Ready for Baking? Make and Freeze This Apple Crumb Galette
The crumbs are the perfect addition to this apple version of our popular galette. One of the first recipes ever published here on BCP was this fruit galette. In the past I’ve only made this recipe using plums. I would begin making them midsummer and freeze a few raw to be baked during the fall….
