The blend of mint, dill and parsley- the Turkish spice trilogy-gives the ground lamb and rice wonderful flavor. Finger food, knife and fork, anyway you eat these, you will be happy.

New Potatoes Stuffed with Salmon Caviar
These New Potatoes Stuffed with Salmon Caviar are an easy and elegant hors d’oeuvre for New Years Eve or any festive gathering. You can make them dairy by dotting them with creme fraiche or sour cream; or leave them non-dairy by just adding a few chopped chives. You can prep […]
Croutons
I never seem to make enough croutons! Everyone loves these crunchy cubes plain or with added salt or garlic. What a perfect way to re-purpose your left over challah or any other bread you have that’s drying out. I add croutons to soups and salads. My family even likes just […]
Mushroom Ears
Making Mushroom Ears couldn’t be easier. Defrost a box of puff pastry, spread it with sautéed mushrooms and onions, roll up, slice and bake. Mushroom Ears are actually easier to slice when they’re slightly frozen; so I always try to have a few rolls in my freezer for surprise company. […]

Making a Vegetable Frittata is so easy and very versatile. Sauté any combination of vegetables you like. I like to use vegetables of various colors like red and yellow peppers, yellow and green zucchini, baby spinach, mushrooms, red onions etc. I usually add cheese but you don’t have to. You […]
Deviled Hamburgers
These Deviled Hamburgers are flavored with horseradish, mustard, ketchup and Worcestershire (fish free) sauce. Often, I prefer to replace the bun with a grilled Portobello mushroom. Top the Deviled Hamburgers with sliced tomato (or salsa) and guacamole. Baked sweet potato fries complete this wonderful meal.
Pear, Roasted Onion & Bleu Cheese Salad with Candied Pecans

The Candied Pecans add a sweet crunch to all the other components. You can arrange the various elements […]
Cod Cakes
Cod Cakes are the kosher version of crab cakes. Cod is a medium firm white fish with a delicate taste. It flakes easily and lends itself to absorbing many different flavors. These Cod Cakes are light, satisfying and so “non-fishy” that even your guests who shy away from fish will […]
Beef Stew
Beef Stew made with fresh carrots, celery, pearl onions and new potatoes is the ultimate in satisfying, warming comfort food. The aroma of rosemary permeates the air as the stew is simmering. Add to that, you’ve got your meat, vegetables and potatoes all in one pot. That’s definitely a win! […]
