I personally prefer the texture of the rice version but the cauliflower version is…

Scooping up the sauce with a piece of challah while nudging a piece of the tender fish…

Not a Lower East Side Knish
Second only to “Pigs” in Blankets, I love a good knish — especially our roti knish: creamy-savory potato filling encased in a thin layer of ultraflaky dough. It is the perfect finger food.

Blackberry Torta della Nonna
The fact that I know the secret to this torta makes me feel like a part of my Italian mentor Edgarda Bergonzi’s family. She taught me how to make it, and she learned it from her mother, who’d learned it from her mother. The first time I saw it, I thought it must have been…
