Salmon Wellington
The idea for Salmon Wellington popped into my mind when I was sent some Black Truffle Paté and Truffle Oil by Crafted Kosher- a company that is no longer in business. The term “Wellington” usually connotes tournedos covered with liver paté and puff pastry. I replaced the beef and liver […]
Chicken, Pineapple and Snow Pea Kebobs
This recipe for Chicken, Pineapple and Snow Pea Kebobs was born out out of my frustration over not having an outdoor barbecue. For years, I’ve watched my friends grill outside. My husband and I are sort of “vetted and bonded” professional guests. We don’t have a summer house. Many of […]
No-Bake Bourbon Balls
I had been making No-Bake Bourbon Balls for years and was so excited when the folks from Gefen/Kedem asked me to work with some of their products. I had always thought of Kedem Tea Biscuits as just the “tea biscuits” my husband liked to snack on. Well, they have other uses. […]

Turkey Scaloppine with Lemon and Capers
I turned Veal Piccata into Turkey Scaloppine with Lemon and Capers when a doctor friend of ours concluded that white meat turkey was the only healthy meat to eat. It turns out that the mild flavor of turkey is the perfect foil for the mixture of lemon juice, white wine […]

Potato Salad with Vegetables and Herbs
This Potato Salad with Vegetables and Herbs is colorful, crunchy and full of flavor. The trick to adding the most flavor to this Potato Salad is to add the sautéed onions and Balsamic Vinegar to the potatoes while they are still warm. They absorb the most flavor that way. This […]
