The Challah Project continues… This recipe caught my eye because it was called a “flatbread” Challah. What exactly is a flatbread challah? I am still not sure I know what it is, but I do know how it differs from a “standard” Challah. It is all in how the yeast is treated and how it…

Corn Gazpacho
It’s hot, I don’t want to cook, I don’t want a salad, but I have a lot of veggies on hand, even some fresh corn from a local farmer. So I pull out my blender and throw it all in… The color doesn’t look so pretty, but the taste makes up for it. A refreshing lunch……
Asiago Crisps for Tomato Salad
I must fess up – I wrote this last September when the last of my tomatoes were coming in. It just did not feel like the ‘right’ time for a tomato salad recipe, so I decided to hold it off til now, when a nice tomato salad would sound quite appealing. Most of the time you…
Rice and Lentils with Leeks, Kale and Za’atar Tomatoes
This version of mujaddrah adds greens to the dish, making it very healthy dish. We found that adding tomatoes marinated in red wine vinegar and olive oil, then topped with za’atar, brought out a brightness to the flavor. For lunch the next day, we ate it cold with some feta cheese – that was another good…
Skillet Eggplant and Kale Pizza
One of my favorite things in my garden is when have enough eggplant to make something. It has been a rough few years for eggplant plants, they have been attacked by bugs early on. This year, however, has been a good one, very few bugs, so the eggplants have been able to grow. Hopefully this…

Bibimbap from the Garden
My new food discovery this year was bibimbap – a Korean rice, vegetable and egg dish (it can also contain meat). All it took was trying it once and it has become my go-to dish at Korean restaurants. And yes, sometimes I even have cravings for it. So here is my attempt at bibimbap based…
Spaghetti with Zucchini
The zucchini harvest has begun, it must really be summer! Not enough yet for zucchini bread, but the perfect amount for a nice pasta dinner. Simple flavors – zucchini, garlic, basil and cheese – so very satisfying. Fresh and filling. Spaghetti with Zucchini adapted slightly from Katie Lee Kosher salt 8 ounces spaghetti 2 tablespoons…
The Challah Project #6 – Scallion Pancake Challah
Asian food for dinner Friday night? Not so good with challah, unless, perhaps you make a scallion pancake challah. I was so excited to try this one. I took Molly Yeh’s ingredient list and used my developing challah technique and ended up with this… The flavor was great, the sesame oil is the real star….
Chocolate Krantz Cake
Ever since I first opened my copy of Yotam Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem cookbook I have been mesmerized by the chocolate Krantz cake. It looked so beautiful, and so complicated. But I finally worked up the nerve to make it. And, surprisingly, it was really quite simple and….oh so delicious! Chocolate Krantz Cakes From Yotam Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem…
