I love to cook almost any kind of food, mediterranean food, moroccan food, french, Iraqi, vietnamese or any other cuisine, as long as it is tasty. But one of my favorites is the one I call “what ever there is in the fridge”
Moroccan Yoyo Cookies
"What can I bring?” I asked our friends that invited us to a Hanukkah candle lighting party. “Whatever you feel like,” they answered, “we trust you to bring something tasty.” This is usually the answer when I ask what to bring, which challenges me every time to find something new and interesting to contribute.
Moroccan Vegetables Patties
"Try it, at least one time, and if you don’t like it, I’ll make you something else” mom would try to convince me, but I stubbornly refused to even taste. “ I put only things you love: potatoes, carrots…” she said,
Pecan Maple Pie
"Would you like some cake?” asked the waitress, “we have excellent cakes” she added. We looked at each other, trying to decide if to take a cake at all, and if so which one. Cafes weren’t places we went to often. Usually we would gather in the public park, close to the neighborhood kiosk.
Stuffed Turkey Breast
Thanksgiving we celebrate with our extended family. It’s not an easy task to explain the relationship between the guests. One of the first times we celebrated together, my younger son took the video camera, went from one guest to another and asked “how are you related to me?”
Beef Stew with Root Vegetables and Chickpeas
After the first rain comes, and the wind swirls the fallen leaves and makes it clear that she is here to stay at least until spring, I find myself returning to one of the dishes that always warm my heart, and my belly. Although as a child I did not agree to eat foods that contained more than one ingredient...
Lentil soup
These days, as the sky gets darker, the wind changes from refreshing to cooling, and a colorful carpet of leaves covers the back yard, the dish I really want to have is a steaming bowl of soup. Split pea, lentil, meat, it really doesn’t matter, as long as it’s a rich, thick soup that warms you up and fills you with pure pleasure.
