Goat-Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms in Brandy-Béchamel Sauce
I met my best friend Daniela during my B.A. studies. We didn’t immediately click – Tough me, and shy (then) her… But somehow by the time the year rolled to an end we clicked a little and decided to live together in the dorms second year. This, as they say, was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Since I worked nights, we would eat dinner around 9 or 10p.m… Sometimes when we couldn’t be bothered to cook, we’d drop by a local restaurant (Rosso). At the time they had a divine stuffed-mushroom starter… Being the poor students that we were, we couldn’t really eat there regularly, so I decided to…

Sweet Gluten-Free Bun and Challah Dough
Friday, morning, three weeks into my diet. Three weeks where I see a variety of breads, Challahs, buns a cakes galore daily in various online forums… So I reached a breaking point and got in the kitchen to improvise a sweetish dough, which I made into a braided Challah, a round Challah and some stuffed buns. Sometimes an improv turns out nice, sometimes it goes straight to the bin, and sometime, like this time, all the stars align and a new recipe joins my standard-recipe family. So here it is, my first made-up yeast dough recipe – Gluten*, and dairy free. For a plain-flour version: Sweet Bun and Challah Dough…

Cheesecake and Apple Pie
A few years back my sisters-in-law and myself used to go out to a branch of Aroma where we live… For those of you residing outside of Israel, Aroma is a chain of Cafes with mediocre coffee, but excellent salads, sandwiches and baked sweets. Our favorite baked treat was an individual cheese-apple pie… When I really like something I have an overwhelming need to recreate it, so after several trials (and errors) I came up with the following recipe. Not sure how identical it is to the original, but it is SO good, I don’t really care at this stage Tip: If you don’t like apples, or not digging the…
