Meyer Lemon Raspberry Tart

April 2, 2012

This year I finally made a Passover tart crust that I think is good enough to serve. I have tried various crusts over the years, but they all have tasted too “pesach-y” to me so didn’t want to use them. This year I decided to use some of the ratios and methods I use in [...]

Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

March 26, 2012

When I was a growing up I never felt deprived on Passover. Quite the opposite in fact. In an effort to make sure the kids didn’t feel like Passover was too much of a hardship my normally health conscious mother would fill the pantry with all kinds of sweets and treats we didn’t usually get [...]

March 24, 2012

Tu B’Shevat Macarons

February 8, 2012

Today is Tu B’shevat, the Jewish new year of the trees, this year. As a child we always planted a new tree in the backyard every year on Tu B’Shevat and now that we live in California I am continuing that tradition with my children. Last year we planted concord grape vines and this year [...]

Amazing Sugar Cookies

January 28, 2012

Sugar cookies are the little black dress of baking. They can be dressed up with fancy frosting or left plain to fit any occasion. Just like the little black dress it is the accessorizing that really makes them shine. That is why it is always important to have a great sugar cookie recipe in your [...]
