Several years ago my husband and I worked in the kitchen at the Seminary. While the food in the regular cafeteria at the Seminary was always pretty good, it was fun to work the fancy catered meals and see what delicious things the chef would come up with. One thing that was often served at […]

This year I finally made a Passover tart crust that I think is good enough to serve. I have tried various crusts over the years, but they all have tasted too “pesach-y” to me so didn’t want to use them. This year I decided to use some of the ratios and methods I use in […]

Purim, which is coming up in a week, is an excuse for people to let loose a little and have some fun. While the kids enjoy the costumes, parades, and over abundance of sweets, adults often celebrate in a more adult way. It is said that one is supposed to drink until they no longer […]
