Chicken/Turkey Pot Pie
In the 1970’s, you could not find Chicken/Turkey Pot Pie on any kosher menu or in any kosher freezer section. These days, I see mini casserole versions being served during the cocktail hour at many kosher events. Creamy chicken and vegetables in pastry crust- what could be better? It was […]
French Toast
When my brother and I were children, Dad decided that the whole family should learn how to ice skate. I’m not really sure how he arrived at this idea. I know that there was a large group of parents and children from the Ramaz School, at which my brother was […]

The leeks and mushrooms can be prepped the day before assembly and kept well wrapped in the refrigerator overnight.
Baked Poached Salmon
Baked Poached Salmon may seem counter intuitive; but baking your salmon surrounded by herbs and wine in the oven produces the most moist and delicious fish. I used to poach my salmon stovetop in a gorgeous stainless steel poacher. Placing the salmon in the poacher was no problem. Lifting it […]
