In direct contrast to my last healthy post, today’s recipe is all about the candy corn (which in spite of the word corn in its name has no relation to any vegetable of any kind). Every fall when I see it appear in the stores I always buy a bag. I just can’t help myself. […]

A while ago my son’s school had a book fair. As I was browsing the books he had picked out I couldn’t help notice the table of cookbooks they had set up. I caved and bought two books I had been wanting for a while, Heidi Swantons Super Natural Cooking and the Cookie Dough Lover’s […]

Rosh Hashanah starts on Sunday night and needless to say I have been thinking a lot about honey lately. While any honey is technically fine for dipping apples I like to use the whole holiday season as an excuse to try different honey varietals and infused flavors. Why have one kind of honey when you […]

With Rosh Hashanah just around the corner it is no surprise that the theme of September’s Kosher Recipe Linkup is honey. I adore honey and use it in all kinds of things, but in the fall I can’t help thinking about the flavor combination of crisp apples and sweet honey. I already have several different […]

One of the most iconic symbols of Rosh Hashana, besides the shofar and apples and honey, is the round challah. The circular shape of the challah symbolizes the cyclical nature of the year and the challah is often dipped in honey before eating to symbolize a sweet new year. I make mine even sweeter with […]

This recipe is in memory of my grandmother who passed away last week at the age of 88. Every time my grandparents would come to visit us in California we would go with them to this small independent grocery store that carried, among other things, 10 pound bars of gourmet bittersweet chocolate. The store would […]

With school starting this week and summer coming to an end it seems fitting to try to squeeze in just one more summer barbecue. Sure I live in California where we can grill most of the year, but there is something about the long summer days that make me want to get the coals going […]
