Salmon gefilte fish terrine

Gefilte fish, those boiled fish balls that are traditionally served with horseradish at the Passover table, are not only a time-consuming and expensive proposition to make, recent studies have shown that the very fish we use for this dish may be coming from contaminated waters.

Chocolate-covered toffee matzo crunch

 
This Passover I tried my hand at Marcy Goldman’s chocolate-covered toffee matzo that is presently the rage on some of my favorite food blogs.

I have made [...]

I was searching for a good recipe for a compote, and I think I found it in Jane Brody’s Good Food Gourmet. It may be the citrus, I’m not sure, but this compote absolutely perfumed the house [...]

Salmon balsamico

Yesterday, I tried another really great recipe from Norene Gilletz’ Healthy Helpings that I wanted to share. This really was a cinch to make. While it was marinating for 30 minutes, I roasted some brussel sprout on the side, and we all enjoyed a very South-Beach friendly dinner. Which is good, as I have begun preparations now [...]
