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 […]
Roasted 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 Roasted Cornish Hens because they are small; and my Father liked them because they have both dark and […]
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 […]
Beef Borscht is a quintessential soup for these frigid Winter days. I can just imagine my Russian ancestors huddled around the kitchen table and digging into a bowl of this body and soul warming soup laden with shredded beef, beets, cabbage, and potatoes. It is truly a whole meal in […]
Tofu Bourguignon is a delicious vegetarian rendition of the traditional Boeuf Bourguignon or Coq au Vin.

French Meringues are made from egg whites beaten with sugar and a little cream of tartar, salt or lemon juice to help them hold their shape. This process can take on many different uses depending on how you treat the meringue. You can flavor it with vanilla, peppermint or whatever […]

I saved this recipe for the last of my “In Memory of My Father” posts because, in fact, this Coconut Lemon Layer Cake was the last birthday cake I made him for his 95th birthday-last June 29-just about one year ago. I had made him this same cake for his […]
Rich, velvety Chocolate Mousse with Minced Orange Rind is a treat for everyone. Who can resist rich creamy chocolate dotted with bits of candied orange rind. It is almost too good to be true. I like adding coffee to the chocolate; but if you don’t, try adding an equal amount […]
