Vegan Watermelon, Coconut and Mint ice cream
This is a simple ice cream I dreamt up, which needs only an immersion blender, and just turned out to be vegan. It worked out beautifully, very creamy and not icy in the least. It's going to be a summer time staple from now on.

Diane Morgan's Classic Mashed Potatoes
As the result of a conversation with food scientist Shirley Corriher, cookbook author Diane Morgan happened upon a clever, very easy way to make mashed potatoes taste more buttery (without adding any more butter). As she told me, "When making mashed potatoes, it is typical to see a recipe suggesting that the milk and butter be heated together, simmering the milk and at the same time melting the butter. That mixture gets added to the just-mashed, cooked potatoes. Easy enough, right? However, using the same quantity of milk and butter, but heating them separately and adding the melted butter first to the mashed potatoes, you end up with a butterier tasting potato dish. The fat absorbs into the cells of the potato, which have swelled and pulled apart from one another. Then, the milk loosens and flavors the potatoes." Adapted slightly from Diane Morgan.
Savory Matzah Brie
This version of matzah brie adds multi-dimensional flavor raising it several notches (Please note: This recipe was made with round hand matzos which have a smoky charred flavor so they need a lot of black pepper, however if using square machine made matzah please adjust seasoning and soaking time to half.)
Egg Butter with a Twist
Egg Butter (Finnish Munavoi) is butter and hard boiled eggs mashed together and spread on toast, crackers or bagels. I added anchovy & mustard to this recipe.
Chive, Herb Goat Cheese, and Tomato Frittata
In early spring, all we have growing are chives, but they get a starting role in this dish. The herb goat cheese makes me dream of overflowing herb gardens to come later, and the eggs are from my local farmer who opens up his farm stand in the spring. I love the heartiness of this dish for dinner. (Adapted from Martha Stewart's Cheddar, Scallion and Tomato Frittata).
How to Make Ghee at Home, Pure and Simple
I see people buying ghee and I want to ask them why? Why not make it yourself? Because it is really easy! Just use butter. That is what my mother used to do, after she figured out that saving up cream from non-homogenized milk for days to make ghee is just too complicated. Not to mention a bit smelly when the cream starts going sour on you. Just get the kind of butter you like, organic, unsalted, local, supermarket brand, whatever. Boil it gently on the stove-top until it clarifies. Filter. Store in a jar for months. Just make sure not to introduce moisture. Enjoy the aroma and the decadence it introduces to even simple dishes, like lentils, rice, savory porridge or mashed potatoes. Ghee is good for you too. According to Ayurveda, ghee cleanses the blood, is good for colon health and the brain. Just don't combine it with sugar if you want to avoid adding on the pounds.

5-Ingredient Jewish Asian Cabbage Soup
Tongue in cheek. I had a very small green cabbage in my refrigerator that was begging for some attention. A few weeks ago I made some delicious chicken stock in which I had added a 2-inch nugget of fresh ginger. For months I have been making foxesloveslemons' Korean meatballs and therefore had an ample supply of Gochujang sauce. Armed with these three main ingredients, I made a delicious cabbage soup in a matter of 30 minutes. The cabbage and chicken stock make up the Jewish part of this recipe - the Gochujang sauce and soy sauce the Asian. This is quick, with a spicy and hot undertone balanced by the sweetness of the raisins. This soup makes a great lunch or a good first course.
Tudor(ish) Marchpane Cake
This recipe for marchpane is an early Tudor era version of what we call marzipan. Both are made from ground almonds, sugar, and usually rose water.

No-Bake Muesli Bars
Knowing what goes into your food (and body) is the first step towards living a healthy lifestyle. Many of the snack bar options available at the grocery store contain added sugars and preservatives that your body doesn't need or want. By just taking a small amount of time out of your weekend, you could prepare your upcoming week's healthy snacks so that you know exactly what you're putting into your body...This is a recipe created by Evoke Healthy Foods that is great for the whole family! http://www.evokefoods.com/no-bake-muesli-bars/
S'mores Fridge Cake
I have a slight obsession lately with S'mores. I have been working on some recipes for a client and one of the recipes was a S'mores cheesecake (I'll let you know when and where that recipe is available). Then this morning I was up early and felt the need to make something. First of all I was thinking a banana loaf but suddenly realised I didn't actually have any bananas. I did have a Kilner full of milk chocolate chips, one of dark chocolate cadets, one full of marshmallows and a biscuit jar of broken biscuits. And let's be honest anytime is a good time to weld the blowtorch even 7am on a Friday morning !

Apple Pie (Boozy Cider)
What is better than boozy apple cider on a chilly fall day? Nothing. As with all infusions, the better your base ingredients the better the outcome. If you can find Spirytus which is a polish liquor I highly recommend it.
