There’s fish and barbecued meats, but many of the best Israeli foods are vegetarian- or vegan-friendly and contain plenty of spices, seasonings, and herbs. Grains, pasta, and dairy are other commonly used ingredients, and chefs often use cheese, nuts, and rose water in their desserts. While Israeli foods aren’t as well-known in the Western world as Mexican, Chinese, or Italian cuisine, certain things like hummus, baklava, and latkes are pretty common even in the U....

A note from my sister Susie: Since I’ve started to write about books now and again for my sister’s blog, I have begun to feel a greater responsibility for finding really awesome stories. After my last list in the fall, I found myself failing miserably! It seemed that every book I read was only so-so at best, but finally, starting in December, I hit a string of fantastic books that I’m excited to share with you today....

It’s so fast, you could even make the Béarnaise while your cooked steak is resting!

It doesn’t take much for me to get enthused about get togethers with my fabulous friends. Even last Friday when I was out with the girls and we were talking about our annual Christmas party (yes – 6 months out), I instantly raised my hand and chirped “I’ll do the food!”. Whether it’s a game, a birthday, baby shower, hen’s night or out of town visitor, I’ll jump on any opportunity to host a get together....

What is Cacio e Pepe? Cacio e Pepe (translated as “cheese and pepper”) is a pasta dish that is very popular in Rome, Italy. As the name suggests, the components of the dish are, very simply, spaghetti with Romano cheese and freshly ground pepper.

I love this pasta dish because it such a simple meal, and it’s still totally delicious....

Preparation However you slice them, potatoes are delicious and easy to grow. I plant an assortment—from bakers to fingerlings, in colors that range from yellow to red to purple. I never really got interested in growing potatoes in my own garden until I had enough space to dedicate to this amazing vegetable. Potatoes do take up a lot of room and are only a “pretty” crop for a few weeks, while the green tops are flourishing....

Researchers in the lab used projections from 20 climate models to estimate how much heat stress people in the United States may encounter from 2075 to 2099 on the hottest days of the summer and compared it to recorded data from 1980 to 2005....

This Peanut Butter Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Loaf is possibly the most epic from-scratch creation to come out of my pokey little kitchen all year! All I wanted was a moist chocolate loaf with a creamy peanut butter filling baked inside. A quick Google to find a recipe, and I was pretty surprised that no such thing existed. Twelve attempts later, I understood why. Who knew it would be so hard to create a chocolate quick bread that is truly moist without using bananas, zucchinis, apple sauce or any other ingredient not typically used in cake?...

Use for sandwiches, toast, grilled cheese, French Toast – anything you normally make with sandwich bread. Bread without yeast This no yeast bread is inspired by the Australian Damper, a traditional bushman’s bread made with flour and water that was cooked over campfires. Except I’ve brought it into the 21st century to make the crumb fluffier, more tender and tastier, and made it look like sandwich bread rather than a freeform loaf....
