Wherever I travel outside the US, I always look forward to spending time at the farmers markets. Markets make me smile. They inspire me to cook and to learn about the ingredients and specialties of a specific country. It’s all about Flirting with Flavors! The food markets tell me what a culture is like, what people’s tastes […]
Honestly, I didn’t expect the food in Israel to be so good and fresh! Here are my 3 favorite restaurants in Israel! When we arrived, we drove to Caesarea and after seeing this fascinating Roman historical site, we were hungry. Aren’t I always hungry? We sat down and had the most delicious fresh seafood, langoustine, branzino, and […]
Before I visited Israel in April, I was content with eating store-bought hummus. It was so easy. You just head to the store, buy a container of the flavor you like, tear back the plastic wrapping and place it on a platter with pita or vegetables. My how things have changed! After experiencing a hummus […]
Israel has been on my bucket list for years for so many reasons. I’m Jewish. Both my parents were Jewish. My mother’s family was from Hungary and my father’s from Germany. I am blessed that both families came to the States before the Second World War and hence avoided the holocaust; but I’ve wanted to discover […]
Having survived my first brutal winter in NYC, in 1977, I remember being so relieved when the magnolia tree outside my window started blooming its deep pink blossoms. I was a single girl in NYC living in the West Village. I had very little money, and I was happy when I had a date for […]
You all know that I’m not much of a baker even though I love desserts. So when I make a dessert, it has to be easy! This Apple & Pear Crisp is just that. It takes very little time, is uncomplicated but tastes like a restaurant dessert. I never have received so many ‘oohs and ahhs’ from any dish […]
I’ve been thinking about my mom lately, because I’m working on a new cookbook and she is featured prominently in it. You all know by now that she loved to entertain and she kept a diary of all of her dinner parties. One of the dishes she made the most is called Torta de Tortilla. […]
Last week was one of those weeks. It started off with a bang when I went to Tony Robbins birthday bash and launch of his new book, Unshakable. My week slid downhill from there. I was so tired, achy, headachy and boom, there I was in bed the rest of the week. Sick sick with the flu and […]
This winter, I am loving being in NYC on the weekends. A friend recently shared her experience at the Brooklyn Museum, an exhibit called Pretty Dirty by Marilyn Minter, pop art queen and queen of food porn. Doesn’t that sound like something I would like??? I took my husband and good friend Lucia who loves art and […]
My husband, Michael and I have had Cuba on our bucket list for many years. As soon as Obama lifted the travel ban, we decided to take a short trip with one of our favorite couple friends. I could really write 2 or 3 blogposts about our trip; as we did so many wonderful activities; […]
