I can’t remember where I first ate Chopped Eggs and Onions. It could have been at a hotel in the Catskills or at an older relative’s house. All I know is that I loved it. It’s completely different from Egg Salad. There’s no celery and no mayonnaise. In the old […]
I grew up eating Halibut Salad. It was on our Thursday rotation of fish meals. Halibut is a firm white fleshed fish that has a very mild flavor. It’s actually whiter than other white fleshed fish like snapper or flounder. I think that’s what makes it so pretty as a […]
Goujons de Sole are small pieces of Sole that are dipped in fritter batter and fried. The concept of fried fish was originally brought to England by Western Sephardic Jews in the 17th century. What we know as Fish ‘N Chips is made with whole fillets; while this French version […]
I love Chestnut Soup with Beer. This recipe starts with a “mirepoix”; the traditional starter for many French soups. A mirepoix is a combination of onions, celery and carrots minced together. When sautéed, it forms the flavor base for the soup. I’ve had the experience of peeling fresh chestnuts and […]

I was born on Thanksgiving Day. Perhaps, that’s why it is my favorite holiday. From our first one bedroom apartment to the larger family apartment we live in now, Thanksgiving Dinner has always been in our house. Every year, my husband makes his famous cornucopia as a centerpiece and sets […]
I make Herbed Roast Turkey with Maple Glaze with herbs under and over the turkey skin. They impart the most delicious flavor and amazing aroma. Add maple syrup to the turkey’s natural fat for basting for a whole other layer of sweet deliciousness. The skin on Herbed Roast Turkey with […]
When I grew up, we ate lots of food from cans. Maybe that’s why I’ve always had a thing about not using canned puréed pumpkin to make pie. As you can see from my other Pumpkin Pie recipes: https://kosherbygloria.com/pumpkin-pie-2/ and https://kosherbygloria.com/pumpkin-chiffon-pie/, my daughter’s personal favorite, I always roast and purée […]
Fish Tacos are a fun dinner whether you opt for a soft tortilla or a hard taco shell. I’ve served these Fish Tacos for lunch and dinner. Adults and children alike enjoy scooping up the grilled fish and choosing their favorite add ons of guacamole, cole slaw with lime juice […]
Vegetables Bourguignon (a riff on Boeuf Bourguignon), is a flavorful vegetarian entrée all year round and perfect for Passover as well. My video shows me serving the Vegetables Bourguignon over a slice of Roasted Cauliflower. I also love to serve it over a mound of mashed potatoes ! Whichever way […]
