My friend Diane prepared this dish one Shabat and blew us all away. Not only did her quinoa have a lovely crunch, it had an intense flavor, too. I begged her for the recipe and have been preparing these pearly nuggets to the delight of my guests ever since. Perfect for Passover–quinoa isn’t […]

Dipping fish fillets in coconut milk makes for an incredibly moist and tender fish. I love to coat my fillets with cornmeal, as it makes a thin, crisp, golden crust, much more so than flour or matzoh meal does. St. Peter’s fish, from the Kineret River in Israel, is also called tilapia when […]

Romaine lettuce hearts are very tender and crisp. They cost a little more than whole heads of romaine, buut they are worth it, especially because no leaves get discarded. This is the salad of choice in my home, and romaine hearts are the only salad greens I ever cut with a knife because […]

Although the flavors are rich and complex, this soup is ready in about 15 minutes–no joke. Miso adds its intriguing fermented flavor and a bulky, but not starchy texture to the broth. It is important to add the Swiss chard at the very end of the cooking process, so that it retains […]

With kosher meat, the smaller the item you buy, the saltier it is likely to be. That’s why I recommend soaking these tiny birds before cooking them took to release any excess salt. When roasted, the birds turn a beautiful mahogany color. Lapsang souchong tea has an intriguing pungent, smoky, “tarry” taste. […]

I was never overweight, but for about five years, I lugged around a pesky 10 pounds, I couldn’t shake off. Ten unwanted pounds was too much to look my best, but too little to do anything radical about it. So I decided to do the equivalent of dropping the daily penny in […]

How we start our day determines how we spend the day. If we begin with a healthy breakfast, chances are we’ll have a healthy day. A new study confirms this long-held theory and also shows a correlation between skipping breakfast and weight gain in kids. “There’s a pretty significant inverse association between how […]
