9 candles for the 8th and last night of Hanukkah d

9 candles for the 8th and last night of Hanukkah dedicated to the 9 remaining Jews in Syria. I always wondered how many were left, but until now — before the fall of Assad — there was no way of knowing. The Jewish community in Syria dates back 3,000 years, and once reached 100,000 by the early 1900s. In the papers it says that the new rulers of Syria will allow minorities of all faiths to practice openly, but unfortunately for the Syrian Jews this opportunity has long passed.

Sephardic orange-almond cake adapted from Claudia

Sephardic orange-almond cake adapted from Claudia Roden’s recipe. Oranges are boiled then pureed whole. Not too sweet and a cross between a pudding and a cake in texture. It’s flourless so great for gluten-free company and Passover too! Now for the hard part: delivering the cakes to the client safely…

Happy new year and 7th night of Hanukkah everyone!

Getting into the holiday spirit with end of the year cooking parties at the JCC Manhattan!

Protestors out today (and as early as last week!)

Protestors out today (and as early as last week!) on the anniversary of October 7 won’t even allow a moment for Jews to grieve. But no matter what hateful rhetoric they chant they can’t take what is in our hearts and in our minds. And we will remember.

Cooking with grandma and learning some Syrian spec

Cooking with grandma and learning some Syrian specialties for Rosh Hashanah! On the menu: meatballs with sour cherries, peas and mushrooms with allspice, steamed rice with onions, and our family favorite: lahem b’ajean (meat pies with allspice, cinnamon, and tamarind).

Passing the torch to the next generation, one recipe at a time.
