Onion & Olive Tart
Onion & Olive Tart
This wonderful onion and olive tart is based on a recipe from Molly O’Neill. Think if it as an Americanized version of the classic French Pissaladiere – a Nicoise savory tart made with anchovies, onions, olives and herbs. The classic Pissalidiere is made with a thin pizza crust (though Julia Child made hers with puff pastry) and derives it name from its use of pisalla – a condiment speciality of the coastal area around Nice made from ground anchovies with olive oil, herbs and spices.
Today, I’ve made my mother-in-law Irene’s variation of the tart without anchovies....

Almond-Lemon Torte w/ Strawberries
The never ending search for the perfect Seder dessert continues. This one’s coming close.
Of course, my family would probably say the prefect Passover dessert has already been found in my mother in law Irene’s hazelnut strawberry shortcake. Problem is, delicious as it is, I can’t bring the shortcake to my kosher friends’ seder tomorrow, since it is served with whipped cream and the Seder is a meat meal. (My husband’s family is, as Jerry Seinfeld says, “Jew-ish”…) Hence my search.
The fallen middle in this torte is a given. It’s what happens when you depend on eggs alone...

Do hand creams stop your skin from regenerating?
Julia from Germany asks…I have very dry skin so I use hand cream a lot. I read an article that said if you use too much hand cream the skin on your hands can not regenerate properly anymore because it becomes dependent on the hand cream. Is this true?
I wish Julia had included a link to the article so we could get more details but without further information we have to say this sounds like a misunderstand. There’s nothing about the chemistry of h...

2 hummus-based salad dressings for GOS fibers
We’ve previously discussed how adding a class of prebiotic fibers called galacto-oligosaccharides, or GOS, adds greater power to your campaign to restore healthy bowel flora. Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, used to make hummus are a useful source of GOS fibers. Although moderately rich in carbohydrates, using hummus in modest amounts as a condiment, such as the base for these salad dressings, keeps you well below our safe cutoff. Each tablespoon of dressing yields approximately 1.5 grams net carbs, while adding about the same quantity in GOS fibers.
So here are two simple recipes for interesting hummus-based...

Haitian Griot Served with Cuban Black Beans & Rice and Marinated Cucumber Salad
If I haven’t blogged much in the way of new recipes lately, it’s because not much of what we’ve been trying lately has been blog worthy. Oh, of course, it’s been edible. Maybe even tasty. But not worth sharing with the world.
But this dinner? It’s worth shouting about.
In fact, I’ll go on record and say it’s one of the best meals we’ve ever made. And worth every minute of preparation, which is not a lot of time at the stove, but does include an overnight marinade and a couple of hours braising. So save it for a weekend dinner when you can give it the time it deserves to sa...

Red is the color of love. It’s the color of valentines hearts, of lingerie, and of red lipstick. But you might be surprised to find that some of those sexy red lipstick colorants come from crushed bugs.

Stuffed Eggplant with Lamb & Pinenuts from Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem
I know the year’s barely begun, but this dish from Yotam Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem is well on its way to being my most memorable meal of 2015. Maybe even the past decade.
And this from a gal who says she doesn’t like eggplant.
If you don’t own Jerusalem, you must. Every recipe in it is a gem. The day after I was given it from my dear friends Karen and Steven, (OMG thank you!), my book club was over for dinner. They all gathered round and placed stickies on their favorite recipe in the book that I simply must make. The entire book is one giant sticky collection, but somehow this recipe escaped t...

Putting Up Irene & Rita’s Fresh Summer Tomato Sauce
Ever since I first saw Mrs Frake putting up pickles and mincemeat in the movie State Fair, I’ve wanted to put up something.
As opposed to putting up with something, which basically describes my life.
I did once put up a few small jars of blackberry jam with the kids while vacationing on Block Island. We tried to sell the jam at the playground – I think someone bought one jar – then used the rest of the jars pretty much immediately. And that was the end of my putting up.
Until this week, when I was faced with forty pounds of South Jersey Roma tomatoes (Thanks Patty!) a few days after meeting blogger Mari...

Which Butter (or Spread) Is Better?
By Amy Campbell
The world of nutrition is often confusing, even for dietitians and other nutrition experts. Debates (and bickering) rage on about which diet is best for weight loss, how much carbohydrate a person with diabetes should have, and what kind of fat is best to eat.
It's not so easy these days to choose a spread for your morning toast or your baked potato. Years ago, folks had pretty much two choices: butter and margarine. Today, we have butter, light butter, whipped butter, stick margarine, vegetable oil spread, margarine with phytosterols, margarine with yogurt, and vegan margarine (just to name a few). How do ...
