experimental cooking can be tasty or turn into a snafood...
During Rosh Hashanah, challah is made sweeter than the rest of the year. As I mentioned in previous posts, the sweetness is to symbolize a good year. Either by sprinkling the tops with cinnamon sugar, using a honey glaze, embedding raisins, or all of the above! Challahs are also made round to symbolize the circle [...]
Joining challah, these bagels are now a part of my weekly baking repertoire. I hadn’t made bagels before a few weeks ago, though I’ve always loved them. I finally decided to try my hand at making them. While they’re not always perfectly round like store-bought, I’ve heard no complaints from anyone who has eaten them [...]
We love bread. Seriously. So when I make bread, it’s safe to assume it will be eaten with a quickness. This bread may have raised the bar on just how quickly we can eat it. Breakfast, snack, lunch, dessert… {really good crumbled up with some lemon sorbet, by the way} The recipe was adapted from [...]
I’ll start with a very basic introduction to the world of Challah. Mostly because I am still learning about it. In Jewish tradition, the lady of the house makes Challah every week to be eaten on the Sabbath {Friday night, Saturday lunch, and again late afternoon}.

Here you will find experimental recipes, old and new. Buried in the archives you'll find all sorts of recipes! As time went on, there was a shift and many recipes were given a kosher twist as new family changes and traditions were introduced in our home. I'm still learning and I'm certainly no expert on the ways of a kosher kitchen. But I'm taking it all in and doing my best!
PR interest? It's gotta be strictly kosher and preferably organic - drop me a line!
