Kosher Cooking Carnival – April 2013

The Kosher Cooking Carnival is hosted by a different kosher food writer each month and this is the third time I am hosting the round up on my site.   The carnival is arranged by Batya of Shiloh Musings and many of the contributing foodies also live in Israel.  All the recipes are kosher and will often reflect seasonal holidays or celebrations.  With that being so, some of the recipes might be [...]

Throw in the customs and preferences that have been celebrated by the families of the bride and groom since the beginning of time and there is plenty to factor in – which I suspect is just one reason that a Jewish wedding celebration allows for plenty of time for everyone to have their [...]

Grilled Brisket with Mexican Inspired Rub and Mopping Sauce

This week’s menu didn’t quite go to plan.

Beef Brisket in Red Wine – Inspired By Tyler Florence

I was looking to do something new with my brisket.  There was nothing wrong with my briskets up until now, but there’s was nothing outstanding either.  They were good fresh from the oven and borderline over-cooked the next day when re-heated, and whether I marinated or or rubbed, something was lacking.  I turned to one of the chef’s whose style always impresses, and adapted a recipe based on the ingredients I had [...]

Chili Con Carne – Inspired by Jamie Oliver

MAY 2013 Update This recipe has been simplified and revised. Please see my updated post for this chili con carne recipe. About 18 months ago, friends of mine from London visited our Jerusalem home and I offered to cook them anything they wanted – my “thank you” to them for making the trip.  Without skipping a beat, my buddy said “you’ve got to make your chili con carne”.  My wife [...]
