In fall, a housewive’s thoughts lightly turn to thoughts of bread.
That’s what happened to me two days ago. Colder weather wakes up the desire to bake. When I went bonkers in the kitchen, I wound up my day with these cheese rolls. The recipe comes from the King Arthur Flour site. On YouTube there [...]

I love saffron, but have always limited the use of this pungent spice to savory dishes. What is arroz con pollo without saffron? Answer: a sad thing. And how delicious fish is, covered in a saffrony, lemony, lightly garlicky sauce with a little cilantro stirred in. And how about lentils spiced with cumin, ginger, [...]

Yesterday I woke up feeling uplifted. Newly risen, like a loaf of bread. Yeasty. So I strolled into my kitchen, took out my mixing bowls and reached inside the fridge for yeast and flour. (I keep flour cold to prevent bug infestation.)
What was I going to bake? Follow the next three posts, and you will [...]

Memories of countries we left behind twine themselves around memories of meals eaten there, till we can’t separate the language, scenery, workday, from the food. Unforgettable, the arepas and tostones of Caracas; and the hallacas our maid Augustina used to make!… Sturdy peasant food, poor people’s food, so savory and satisfying. Dishes that reflect the [...]

I realize this post is ‘way distant from my usual foodie thoughts, but this was an eerie highlight in my day.
I was on my way to the supermarket, head down and going over some things in my mind. A shout from across the street: “Lady! Stay away! There’s a suspicious object down the street!” I [...]

When we lived in Tsfat, we weren’t always sure who would be sitting down with us at Shabbat meals, or even how many. We had regular guests, occasional guests, and sometimes, uninvited guests. Over time, I learned to just cook a lot before Shabbat and have plenty in case of surprises.
Apart from people we ourselves [...]

Towards the end of Sukkot, Baroness Tapuzina asked me if I’d like to drive out with her and Mr. Baroness T. There was a regional wine festival promoting the wineries of the Judean Hills, and they proposed to travel and taste. Drive through those cool, hilly roads and go tasting from winery to winery? Sure [...]
