Apple, Chocolate + Salted Pecan Bundt

This weekend, the resident jew is, in fact, home alone for the holidays—and in the presence of far too many apples for just one person. The problem is I just don’t love pies and crumbles. The doughs are tricky (emotional melt-downs imminent), the crumbles are too crumbly and dry, and the apples usually end up

Cake Batter Rice Krispies

Hello from Hurricane Sandy aftermath in NYC — or rather, from Brooklyn. Our apartment weathered the storm pretty well except for losing power, so all in all I would consider us pretty lucky. Much of NYC and the surrounding areas weren’t so lucky. Please, if you can, consider donating to the Red Cross to help

Brisket + Kugel: Break Fast of Champions

  “Oy the brisket’s on sale on Fresh Direct.” Sometimes I catch myself saying these things and I have to look in the mirror to check and see if i’m greying/turning into one of those people from Shit Jewish Mothers Say. But the day before Yom Kippur, the brisket was, in fact, on sale on

Roasted Pork Tenderloin & Veggies

Since working full-time leaves minimal time for home-cooked meals, I am always on the look out for easy recipes that won’t have me slaving in the kitchen after work. Translation: I’m really into roasting/baking these days. How much easier can it get? You throw something in an oven for 40ish minutes and then voila: dinner.

The Timid Baker’s Quiche

  As someone who is not skilled in baking, I always find it extremely satisfying (and surprising) to pull something out of the oven that just works. And trust me, it doesn’t happen often. Cinnamon buns have caused oven fires, cookies come out like dry, flat pancakes, cakes have been spongey (when they weren’t meant to be

Summer Risotto with Zucchini Ribbons, Corn and Fresh Basil

Oh who doesn’t love risotto? It’s creamy, delicious, filling and well it’s perfect. The main reason why I love risotto so much is because you really can do anything with it. There are so many different additions you can make- different vegetables, different wines- the options are really endless. Yesterday I wanted to make a

A Light Summer Potato Salad

SOME people would call me a picky eater. I have to admit I do tend to stray away from certain grotesque foods. But other than that, I really do try to keep an open mind. The greatest of the “grotesque foods” is by far mayo. It’s white, gloppy, gooey, fattening and just makes everything creamy

E.V.O.Oh My Gah I’m in Italy (2)!

Yesss I am still in Italia! But no this post is not on Italian food–I promise, I’ll get there. But before I got to Firenze I went to Paris to visit my friend Anjali and to have a European Reunion with lots of our friends. It was a ton of fun and I am SO
