If you are anything like me every year when Chanukkah is over I find myself with a big box of leftover gelt. I always think we will need more gelt than we end up using, and, not wanting to run out, I stock up before Hanukkah. Once the holiday is over the gelt loses its […]

I can never have a Spanish churro without thinking fondly of my trips to Spain many years ago. There is a cafe in Madrid that is known for their churros con chocolate, and the best time to get them  is in the very early morning, after a late evening of carousing. One such morning, my […]

This month the theme for the Kosher Connection recipes is stuffing. While my turkey stuffing has no place on a parve blog, given that it is made with schmaltz and chicken stock, I still wanted to participate in the theme so I started thinking about stuffing related desserts.

With Thanksgiving next week it is officially pie season. I know that there are those who would argue with me, claiming that the middle of summer when fresh produce overflows the farmers market is the height of pie season.

This time of year pumpkins are everywhere! A couple of weeks ago we took the kids to the local pumpkin patch. While they busied themselves painting silly faces on their pumpkins I walked around and picked out one of each variety pumpkin that was good for eating. Needless to say we have been eating a […]
