I love Onion Soup. Traditionally, if you’re not kosher, it is made with beef broth and has grilled bread covered with melted cheese that drips down your mouth as you eat it. That doesn’t work for a Kosher house. I could make it with beef stock and leave out the […]

Roast Cornish Hens
Roast Cornish Hens was one of my parents’ favorite meals. Often, as Shabbat approaches, I am reminded of all the Friday night dinners my parents ate at my table. My Mother liked them because they are small and my Father liked them because they have both dark and light meat […]
