Chopped Chicken Liver is the quintessential Jewish comfort food and always a guilty pleasure! Annie Mae used to “kasher” the livers and make the schmaltz in the kitchen of my childhood. Of course, you can buy pre- kashered livers, rendered chicken fat and even Chopped Liver at the butcher; but, […]
These tiny baby Brussels Sprouts with Walnuts and Dill are full of flavor and have a wonderful aroma. Steam them gently to retain their bright green color. The result will be tender brussels sprouts with crunch from the walnuts and wonderful flavor from the dill. If you can’t find the […]
This Corn Pudding recipe was taught to me by two wonderful ladies from the South. The flavor of caramelized corn, sugar and vanilla is irresistible. If you make it with coconut oil, there is a light flavor from coconut although the vanilla covers up most of it. You can always […]

All the vegetarian chopped liver recipes I have seen have nuts as an ingredient. I tried many variations- combining different amounts of mushrooms, string beans, onions, […]
Why am I thinking about Vegan Borscht? It’s early, I know; but people are already thinking about Passover. We’ll be home this year and the menus will be on me. Vegan Borscht works because my vegetarian daughter can eat it as well as the rest of us; but it’s also […]
