Ingredients 500 gr. gluten-free rolled oats (not instant) A combination that you like of dried fruit and nuts (my favorite combinations are almonds, cranberries and pecans, or almonds, sunflower seeds, sesame, cranberries, pistachios and prunes): 250 gr. dried fruit mixture (dried apricot\prunes\raisins\cranberries\dates\dried apples, etc.) 250 gr. un-roasted nuts/seeds/sesame mixture (almonds\pecans\walnuts\hazelnut\cashew\pistachio\pumpkin seeds\sunflower seeds, etc.) ¾ cup honey/date honey (silan)/maple (I prefer honey) ½ cup olive oil pinch of Kosher salt Preparation Preheat oven to 150C/300F.

    Gluten-Free Lightly-Sweet Challah Buns

    The source of this recipe is a colleague who claimed it was the best Challah recipe in the world. He was right. As I tend to do, I made some changes and improvements, and then did some experimentation to convert it to a Gluten-free version. I’ll let you be the judge… Gluten-Free Dough Ingredients 1 kg. Tagmish flour (not yet available outside of Israel. If you have a GF flour mix that can make buns and other shaped goods, try it) 200 gr. sugar (for really sweet buns, add 50-100 gr. sugar, to taste) 20 gr. dry yeast 100 gr. vegetable oil 2 eggs 3½ cups warm water 20 gr.…

    Roast à la Zadik (Roast Beef with Carrots, Onions and Chestnuts)

    I was thrilled that this recipe won the survey! This is in fact the first recipe I ever developed, before I knew what developing a recipe was. The method of cooking beef in a pressure cooker I learned from my mom, and the method of methodically submerging each slice of beef in the sauce I learned by watching my dad, who did it with the patience only he possesses. I developed this sauce over the years – it has gone through multiple variations and changes until it reached its current (and for me, final) composition. Ingredients 1-1½ kg. (2-3 pounds) beef shoulder roast 4 large carrots, peeled 2 large onions,…
