Kumquat Pate de Fruit

by Shoshana on May 2, 2013 · 10 comments

Whenever I walk into a fancy candy shop I am drawn to the display of Pate de Fruit. These glistening fruit jellies look like shining jewels lined up in the display and I always want to buy some. While sometimes they can be disappointingly bland, a well made Pate de Fruit is intensely flavorful, capturing [...]

My husband is currently on a trip in Israel. Talking to him everyday about all the things he is seeing and experiencing has meant that Israel is very much on all of our minds (especially my older son who keeps reminding my husband that next time he wants to go too). With Yom Haatzmaut, Israel’s [...]

The Jewish holiday of Purim is just two weeks away and my household is already gearing up. We have figured out our costumes and have been listening to Purim music nonstop. (Although, in the interest of full disclosure I should probably mention that we listen to Purim music nonstop year round because whenever I give [...]

Peppermint Cookie Bark

by Shoshana on December 22, 2011 · 3 comments

Even though I don’t celebrate Christmas I wholeheartedly look forward to the sweets of the season. Gingerbread, eggnog, and peppermint flavored cookies and candy, I love it all. My absolute favorite, though, is peppermint bark. While in theory there isn’t really a season for peppermint, it just doesn’t quite feel right to make peppermint bark [...]

Almond Joy “Truffles”

by Shoshana on February 28, 2011 · 5 comments

Sometimes the combination of ingredients in my mixing bowl can inspire me try new things. These “truffles” came about one evening when I was making some Irish potato candy. (If you have never had Irish potato candy check back around St Patrick’s day, I’ll be posting the recipe then. Don’t worry, there are no real [...]

Peanut Brittle

Since my kitchen could be mistaken for a candy factory this time of year it takes very little prodding to get me to make “just one more” kind of candy. There is nothing I like making more than candy, which means I often end up with more candy than people to give it to. In [...]
