Beignets, Revisited + COOKBOOK news!
Hi friends, It's been so long since I've written a new blog post to share with all of you and I'm dying to catch you up on all the excitement around here. So many things have happened--where do I begin? The very beginning, I suppose. WAY back in February 2013, I pressed 'publish' on my...
A Visit to Paris & A Cookbook Souvenir
I don't know where to begin. Paris was amazing. To say that I am completely smitten would be an understatement. We somehow managed to see a tremendous amount in such a short time, without getting too exhausted to enjoy our surroundings. And the food. Oh my goodness. The food. And the pastries. All the pastries....

Well, I must admit: Hubby is out of the country for work all week (which is why I will hold off on my last few Jerusalem cookbook recipes until he returns), and I've got the irresistible urge to bake as if I were entertaining the Cookie Monster (the only time that truly happened was at...

Seared Skirt Steak and Spinach Salad with Red Wine-Shallot Vinaigrette
Satisfying the hunger for meat doesn't always require a heavy meal of meat and potatoes. Seared skirt steak served atop a bed of baby spinach and fresh mushrooms makes this salad a great main dish. The homemade vinaigrette is, as always, far better than store-bought, and makes this dish a lovely meal. I just purchased...
