OK, I admit it, there is absolutely nothing local about this treat. But I realized that I promised the recipe, so here it is… This version is adapted from one by Zoe Francois. I made 1 1/2 times her recipe for caramel and doubled the number of trays. I also decided to make one tray…

Ricotta & Pesto Souffle
Remember all that pesto I made and froze? I sent a bag of pesto “cubes” with Emily to keep in her freezer in her apartment. But there is still a lot of pesto in my freezer. So, it is time to thaw some! This dinner highlighted my pesto and Farmer Kim’s eggs in Molly Katzen’s…
Spinach, Potato & Feta Latkes
I was not going to blog about these since I was only making them for the first time, but something told me to take pictures just in case. This is an adaptation of the recipe for “spanolatkes” from the restaurant Estia in Philadelphia. I found it in Food Network magazine and could not resist adding…
Potato Latkes
Happy Hanukkah! As I have mentioned before, I have a tendency to become obsessed with cooking with one food or one type of food. So, for Hanukkah this year, my focus has become latkes. I have plans for different types of latkes every day – potato, sweet potato, spinach & feta, carrot & zucchini and…
Mashed Potato Latkes – Thanksgiving Leftovers #2
What to do with leftover mashed potatoes? Well that is a no-brainer…potato pancakes/latkes! Making the mashed potato latkes gave me the chance to decide whether I want to do those, or grated potato latkes for our Hanukah party. I like both, so I am still not sure which I will do. We are having an…
Cammy’s Cinnamon Raisin Challah French Toast
There is nothing better than challah french toast except, perhaps, cinnamon raisin challah french toast! And who better to make it than our own Top Chef, Cammy? See the recipe for the cinnamon raisin challah in the recipe for raisin challah. The bread is so flavorful, that a very basic egg dip can be used….
Cammy’s Honey Spiced Apple Muffins
For Cammy’s contribution to our Rosh Hashanah celebration, he made the apple cupcakes from Joan Nathan’s The Children’s Jewish Holiday Kitchen. We call them muffins because they seem better to us as a breakfast treat rather than as a dessert. The warm spices evoke thoughts of the oncoming fall. They are best drizzled with honey, but go…
Honey Orange Roasted Chicken
I rarely make roast chicken, but when I do, I cannot bring myself to make any other chicken than this. It has become my go-to dish for Rosh Hashanah and often finds its way to the Passover Seder (when I am not doing a Persian meal). The bird is always moist, the skin sweet and…
Raisin Challah
We are preparing for Rosh Hashanah, so it is time to bake some raisin challah. Although I use a recipe I found years ago in Joan Nathan’s The Children’s Jewish Holiday Kitchen, I am not yet ready to tackle it with Cam. Look for that post in a year or two. I am perfectly capable of making…
