Yes, another food blog.
January's pick for the Cookbook Club is Falastin, by Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley. I've been a fan of Tamimi's for a long time, as he co-authored one of my all-time favorite cookbooks, Jerusalem, so I was very excited about this pick. While Jerusalem looks at the food of Jerusalem from both the Jewish and... Continue Reading →
So things have gotten weird since our last blog post. The novel coronavirus has caused a global pandemic, and we're starting to see an uptick in COVID-19 cases in our area. The past week at work has been incredibly stressful, with a lot of confusion and worry. We actually are now on vacation for two... Continue Reading →
For Cookbook Club this month, we're cooking Plenty, by Yotam Ottolenghi. I love Ottolenghi... he's one of my favorite chefs to follow on social media and I find his recipes universally delicious! I was introduced to him several years back when my sister gave me the cookbook Jerusalem that he co-authored with Sami Tamimi. It... Continue Reading →
I love this blog. I love that we've kept up with it for a few years now. I love that I can look back on some of the fun dishes we've made and especially that I have a record to refer to when I want to remake a recipe. What I don't love? Actually writing... Continue Reading →
I've had this idea for a risotto with dill and goat cheese to yield a dish with a rich and creamy texture like a normal risotto, but with a tangy, less heavy flavor. This is one of the best things about risotto in my opinion - it's one of those kitchen sink dishes that can... Continue Reading →
Here's our first guest chef post courtesy of Ally's mom! How this hasn't happened before is mind-boggling because she is an amazing cook. Ally was super lucky to grow up with a mom who made homemade dinner essentially every night of the week. As a typical ungrateful teenager, Ally used to not appreciate this as much as...

I think Selim has a new favorite herb. Recently he's been gravitating towards tarragon whenever it is a possible option to add to whatever we're making (see our last post - Easy Herbed Ham & Cheese Quiche). So when I said I wanted to make some herby, savory stuffed dates, that's what he suggested. I... Continue Reading →
Why is it that it seems like everyone does brunch or breakfast for Mother's Day? Growing up, we always made Mom breakfast in bed. Reservations for Mother's Day brunches fill up quickly. Do moms prefer breakfast? Don't they like dinner too? Who knows... Either way, we stuck with the cliche and made a nice Mother's... Continue Reading →
Growing up, when we were having a special treat or the whole extended family was together, my grandmother would make us her 'sticky buns.' Now that she has passed away, my mom thankfully has taken on the responsibility of the sticky bun making! It was only after I was probably in my mid-20s that I... Continue Reading →
After making Minty Watermelon, Cucumber & Feta Salad last week, we had some leftover mint. By "some leftover mint," I really mean, "Did this package of mint grow exponentially more mint?" I feel like it's pretty much impossible to use all the mint in a package and even more impossible to use all the mint that... Continue Reading →
