There is a cabbage farm just a couple of miles from our house. I am glad it is not closer because at certain times of the year, it is painful to drive down that road – cabbage is a very “aromatic” crop – to put it mildy. Naturally, cabbage was in our CSA basket. I…

Kalam Polo (Persian Rice with Cabbage and Beef)
I have to admit that I was shooting in the dark when I made this. I had made a different version before, and it was ok, not great. But I figured, making a tasty combination of rice, beef and cabbage is kind of in my eastern european, Jewish blood. I just needed to figure out…
Beef and Cabbage Packages
As I often mention, we eat very little beef in my house, so when we do, it has to be special. This is a recipe I found in the newspaper over 10 years ago and has been a surprise treat every time I have made it. Called “Desperized” Bierocks in the original article, this is…
Cabbage, Onion & Millet Kugel
Two of our daughters may need to go gluten free, so I have been trying out some alternative dishes. Tonight it was a kugel based on millet. I love cabbage (as I know I write every time I cook it). This dish did not disappoint. The creaminess of the cottage cheese combined with the richness…
Japanese Vegetable Pancake Latkes
I make these latkes when I am craving vegetables and still feeling the need to do the Hanukah olive oil ‘thing.’ I love them. The recipe comes from Smitten Kitchen, to make it more latke-like and less pancake-y I have reduced the eggs to 4. The original recipe calls for 6, I like that as well….
Cabbage, Kale & Carrot Latkes
A latke recipe? in October? Really? Who says latkes are only for Hanukkah? Not me. Pan-fried patties made of vegetables are good any day, especially when the combination of the vegetables results in such a pretty color palette. As I have mentioned, the kale in my garden has escaped the jaws of the groundhog. Looking…
Cousin Bentzi’s Pasta & Cabbage
I have never met my cousin Bentzi; he lives in Israel and was away when I was there last year. But I have been getting to know him through his art and the cooking he shares with us through our family group on FB. I guess cooking, and enjoying feeding people, is a family trait we share….
Cabbage Leek Latkes topped with Asparagus and Eggs
It is always fun when leftovers turn into a tasty new meal. I had planned on a Passover meatloaf for dinner, but the meat was not yet defrosted, so I checked my vegetable bin – half a cabbage and 1 leek unclaimed for any other meal. Add an egg and some matzoh meal, and I’d…
My Two Adopted March Holidays – St. Patrick’s Day and Persian New Year
As I am busy preparing mentally and physically for Passover, I am taking a break out for “my” two March holidays – St. Patrick’s Day and Persian New Year (Nowrooz). Why are they mine? St. Patrick’s Day – Well that is simple…I grew up in New York City, and all New Yorkers are Irish on…
Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with Crunchy Apple Slaw
I had planned to make this for dinner, but forgot to set up the crock pot before I left the house for the afternoon. By the time I realized it, it was too late to make it for dinner that night. So, I put it up to cook when I got home and set it…
