Leek Quiche
I love Leek Quiche. Leeks have a milder and more mellow flavor than onions. When they’re sautéed, the leeks just seem to melt into the custard filling. Leeks also mix beautifully with other vegetables. I often reduce the amount of leeks by a cup or two and substitute them with […]
Goujons de Sole
Goujons de Sole are small pieces of Sole that are dipped in fritter batter and fried in hot oil. I had always considered them to be a French creation; until I learned differently. Fried fish was originally brought to England by Portuguese Sephardic Jews in the 16th century. As Marranos, […]

Roasted Cauliflower
A whole Roasted Cauliflower is a thing of beauty! Can anyone resist digging into that crisp outside and discovering the soft mellow flavors within? Don’t be surprised if you only get 2-3 intact slices from a large cauliflower. You can arrange the pieces that separate into a slice or serve […]

Warning- these rugelach are incredibly dairy and delicious. I make them with nuts and without nuts. Either way, your family and guests will clamor for more! This is not one of those 1-2-3 recipes; but the results are more than worth it! They can be frozen; but beware they can […]
