I am going to come clean right away with respect to this cake. I taught it in about 16 classes and have made it at my house for friends and family many times and made it twice at my mom's house this summer and it's always the biggest hit. The day I made it for my website, the power went ...
How to Make a Braided and Round Challah Recipe
Growing up Catholic, I was not taught how to make challah, a traditional Jewish braided egg bread. I don't even remember the first time I tasted it. It could have been in college. But I did know how to make bread from scratch with yeast and I enjoyed the process. It seemed so magical ...
Grain-Free Apple Tarte Tatin Recipe
September means apples! I know we see apples every single day in the supermarket, but now is when they are in season. IMHO, apples taste so much more delicious in the fall. I have my favorite varieties (e.g. Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, Opal, Ambrosia) and I actually prefer cooked apples over ...
Cilantro-Lime Slaw Recipe
This was originally posted in 2011 and needed a refresh! Here's the original post: I consider myself a good eater, that is I like a wide variety of foods and I am willing to try almost anything. But I have my own personal standards (which my husband calls being a party pooper) and ...
Grilled Pizza Recipe
I'm back in LA after the most special and perfect week on Long Island. I went for it. Traveling is dicey these days as we all know, but I did everything I could to reduce my risk and be with my family whom I haven't seen since Christmas. The N95 nose pain and sweaty face from ...
Grilled Caesar-ish Romaine Salads Recipe
I am on vacation this week on Long Island with my family and I really had no idea how much I needed a break and a change of scenery. I wish I had planned for 2 weeks here since 5 days in and I'm just starting to unwind. We are having a great time hanging out, cooking together, swimming, puzzling, ...
Pizza Dough Recipe
I've gone through many pizza phases in my life (I eat it often then I don't and so on) and where I acknowledge that it is not a health food, I really do enjoy it. Even if the dough is gluten-free or made with whole wheat flour, flour is flour and will spike your blood sugar. So when I eat pizza, I ...
Watermelon and Tomato Salad with Feta and Mint
Photography by Victoria Wall Harris Here's another recipe that was deep in my archives that I still absolutely love, but needed a photo makeover! This is the time of year when I am furiously trying to maximize my consumption of all things summer. The seasonal window for some of my favorite foods ...
Salmorejo Recipe
Last summer, back when we could travel without weighing the pros and cons, I went to visit my daughter who had an internship in Pittsburgh. We were invited to my friend Joaquin's house for dinner one night. Remember when we could dine with friends indoors and without masks?? Sorry, but I am a ...
Chicken and vegetable kabobs with chimichurri sauce
Wow. I first posted this in August of 2011! I love this recipe and continue to make it regularly, but the images (not the recipe) needed an upgrade. ...
Zucchini and Corn with Jalapeño, Feta and Basil Recipe
All of my meals right now involve tomatoes or zucchini or basil or corn or some combination of these summer stars. This recipe is a big skillet of summertime if I have ever seen one. The flavors are light and bright; the texture juicy and fresh; and we have often eaten this as a meal with nothing ...
