Sometimes, a dish is so stinkin' simple you don't know how you didn't think of it yourself. For me, vegetable slaws and simple salads are where it's at.

As the center of the Jerusalem meal, I made Kofta b'siniyah (pg 195). Kofta are really just meatballs, shaped more like torpedos than rounds.

Caesar Salad

March 19, 2013September 1, 2016 anchovies, salad

For years I was not a fan of Caesar salad. In restaurants it always seemed overly salty and heavy, with no brightness or acidity, and little to no real anchovy flavor. I avoided it for years. Then, a few years back, I was visiting friends and we made Caesar salad... Read More
