Poaching chicken cutlets keeps them very soft and moist. They become the perfect foil for any sauce you choose. For this recipe, I chose to make a pure roasted pepper puree-just seasoned with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Capers and olives give it an extra flavor boost. This recipe is […]
Take advantage of the season’s delicious peaches and make Grilled Chicken, Peach & Onion Salad. I make it with chicken I’ve marinated in mustard vinaigrette. For my vegetarians, I marinate tofu separately in a separate cup of vinaigrette. After I’ve grilled all the components, I arrange them over a mixed […]
These flattened Chicken Cutlets Stuffed with Spinach and Mushrooms look impressive; but are very easy and fun to make. Personally, I really enjoy pounding those cutlets. It’s a safe way of releasing some tension. Some butchers carry thin chicken cutlets or even extra thin cutlets; and then you can avoid […]
Roast Duck In Fruit Sauce is a mouth watering recipe that is relatively simple to prepare- except for cleaning the ducks. Major TIME saving hint: Get pre-roasted unseasoned ducks from your butcher and then braise them in the sauce. One of my favorite gourmet food experiences was eating duck at […]

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 […]
