I am not as confident of a cooker as I am of a baker (and I’m better at photographing baked goods) but this recipe is delicious. It has become a weeknight staple for us because it is healthy, tasty, and incredibly easy. It is done in 30 minutes max. Packed with vegetables of your choice, […]
My sophomore year of college a Pressed Juicery opened near Columbia. For the rest of college and pre-pandemic law school this became my go to lunch place when I didn’t pack a lunch and had to be on campus. I would get their freezes which are kind of like healthy ice cream and while they […]
We do date night once a week and this week was my turn to choose what to do. I decided I wanted to do an indoor camping evening with s’mores (always up for quarantine activity ideas!). We did this once before back in April during Pesach but then instead of graham crackers we had matzah. […]
I have not bought bread since quarantine started back in March. Almost immediately making bread just seemed easier than going to grocery stores. Since then the process has become even easier. I make bread generally once a week and we have it every day. Growing up my Mom always made fresh bread. As a child […]
I love Mandelbrot. It is similar to biscottis just with Ashkenazi origins instead of Italian ones and a slightly different texture. I believe both cookies are better when dipped in chocolate. These cookies remind me of childhood. When I was in grade school there was extra time between school ending and either my ballet class […]
I had never tried pistachio salmon before and then last Fall it felt like pistachio crusted salmon was at every fancy event. I had it at Kiddushes, bridal showers, weddings. It was the culinary highlight of all of these events for me. I then began on the journey of recreating it at home. It took […]
Pretzel challah is good but sourdough pretzel challah is better- after all sourdough pretzels are better. While you can use the directions for the pretzel challah with my classic challah recipe, I highly recommend sourdough. More detailed instructions can be found at my sourdough recipe. Most of this recipe follows the same instructions. I made […]
A few months ago I had the idea of sourdough challah. I have been really into sourdough recently (in part because once you have the starter it is honestly easier than making bread totally from scratch). When I searched the internet for a recipe for it that would tell me how much yeast to add […]
Once I made the mistake of leaving the city for more than a month (kidding, sort of) by studying abroad in Australia and I found myself with no good bagels anywhere. The store-bought ones were atrocious (not even boiled). I did finally find some good ones made by someone from Brooklyn, but that was months […]
We received this beautiful Chrysler building bundt cake pan as an engagement present and we have been so excited to use it. The Chrysler building is my favorite building and despite having been in the city since COVID began we haven’t gone to midtown or anywhere else you would see it since before March, so […]
