Oreo S’mores

Lag B'Omer is a great holiday, because you get to build campfires! When I think campfire, I think s'mores. And thanks to Eatocracy, we have a new way of remixing s'mores with, of all things, Oreos. The recipe is simple: twist and pull apart an Oreo. Roast a kosher marshmallow (not all marshmallows are kosher, so make sure to check for a label). Smash the two together, and bon apetit! Chag Sameach! … [Read More...]

Cardamom Americano

I am a gourmet coffee NUT! Espresso, mocha latte, iced coffee, cappuccino...if it has the noble bean, water and some form of cream, I'm on it. This is a very simple, very decadent coffee drink featured in the NewKosher vegan cookbook. I have made a small change by making it an espresso drink instead of traditional coffee, because I found that the crema (the oily brown foam that rests on top of a well made espresso drink) is enough cream that one does not need to adulterate the drink with … [Read More...]

Homemade Chocolate Espresso Sauce

Homemade chocolate syrup or chocolate sauce is key in my favorite drink: a homemade iced mocha! This chocolate sauce recipe is not a dieters delight at all.

Nigella’s Butternut Squash with Pecans and Blue Cheese

Nigella Lawson's Jewish identity is pretty interesting. Taking part in the third series of the BBC family-history documentary series, Who Do You Think You Are?, Lawson sought to uncover some of her family's ancestry. She traced her ancestors to Ashkenazi Jews who originate from eastern Europe and Germany. Though both of her parents are Jewish, she was not raised in the tradition. And like most British people, she has a love of Christmas (culturally only, as Lawson is an atheist). To her … [Read More...]
