No kitchen? No problem. This recipe only requires an electric tea kettle, a bowl, a knife or scissors, and a paper plate. This recipe comes out fragrant, spicy, and full of flavor. Since it only takes five minutes, I recommend putting the ingredients on the table and allowing kids to mix and match. You can…

French Toast Bread Pudding with Berries and Basil
This dish is easy and a real crowd pleaser from toddlers to grown ups. Sometimes if I am feeling particularly cheeky I put it right on my challah board and surprise my family when they pull the challah cover off for hamotzei. I’ll make it on New Year’s Eve and let it sit all day…

How the Nazis robbed Alice Urbach of her cookbook
Growing up, there were always two copies of the cookbook “So kocht man in Wien!” (That’s How You Cook in Vienna!) in the German historian Karina Urbach’s family home. There was the original, written by her grandmother, Alice, first published in Vienna in 1935. Some 500 pages long, the book is encyclopedic, an amalgam of…

Cinnamon sugar snowflake cookies with rich and creamy cocoa
Warm cinnamon and sugar pairs perfectly dipped in this ultra-rich cocoa, which almost acts as a sauce. This cozy dessert is pretty, fancy enough for Shabbat but fun and relaxed enough for a snow day. The cocoa is very rich so the portion here would be a small mug or half a large mug with…

There is no yeast, so they come together quickly and easily. I used coconut milk as a fun way to make it pareve, but you could use real milk if…

Tahini Hot Chocolate
Until embarrassingly recently, I’d only ever made hot chocolate from a store-bought mix, and that might have been why I phased it out of my life. most of those mixes are soo wildly sweet that I always felt like I’d have to choose between hot chocolate and sufganiyot or some other holiday dessert, out of…
