From time to time I invite other food writers to share something from their kitchen with you. Often the post will highlight a recipe that I have needed guidance on or a dish I have never cooked myself. Today’s recipe is from a foodie friend of mine, Hindy who writes at Confident Cook, Hesitant Baker. Like Hindy, I hesitate to bake but love to experiment in the kitchen and develop new recipes [...]

The foodie community is vast. Not a week goes by without me adding another foodie to my google reader and swear to return to read each and every recipe. Sometimes, it will be weeks or months before I visit again, but I like the support and inspiration that fellow foodies feed me. Today’s recipe, Sweet Potato, Chick Pea and Spinach Curry comes from Cass of Food My Friend. More than [...]

Chanukah is around the corner. Eight oily nights of fried latkes and donuts are plentiful, waiting to tempt the healthiest of eaters. If you’re looking for a low-carb alternative to these fatty delights, check out my Rutabaga and Turnip Latkes featured in The Jewish Week a few days ago. If you still want that fried flavor but want to cut the potatoes, Onion Bhajis are a delicious Indian treat that [...]

September is really the month of celebration in our home now. Our baby girl arrived two weeks before our fourth wedding anniversary, and later this month, This American Bite will celebrate it’s first birthday. Over the last year, I have established myself as a food blogger and demonstrated how healthy, kosher, and local food can be made in the home kitchen. During this journey, I have also had the honor of [...]

On Shabbat (Saturday) afternoon, we welcomed our baby girl in to our lives making us a family of four. My wife did an outstanding job, listening to her body and remaining in control throughout labor, and to quote her, she had “the perfect birth”. A few weeks ago my wife shared her first birth story. This time around the experience was completely different, positive in every way and I want to [...]

London 2012 is here! If you are in London make sure your visit isn’t limited to the Olympic Village, strawberry’s and cream, crumpets and Marmite. London is much much more than Madame Tussauds, Big Ben and the Tube and if you can, be sure to visit my home town of Brighton to smell that fresh sea air. While you’re in London, you need not worry about kosher food, there are plenty of [...]

The British and South African’s have a love-hate relationship with Marmite. This vitamin B12 rich, yeast based spread was the PBJ to my sandwhich when I was growing up in England, and it’s a joy I’m pleased my 2 year old enjoys here in the US! Marmite is even less popular on this side of the pond than in England, but it’s a staple in my kitchen. When I was [...]

When thinking of Kansas City your mind probably wonders toward The Wizard of Oz, BBQ and perhaps the Royals. You might have heard a little of the Kansas side versus the Missouri side, or be impressed with how quickly you can deplane, get your bags and be on your way when landing at MCI. The chances are high that you’re not aware of the kosher food options we have in [...]

Have you ever tasted Persian cooking? It really is one of a kind and nothing can compare. When I first met today’s guest blogger in 2008, my new bride told me of all the wonderful meals she had eaten from Reyna’s kitchen. Fast forward a few years and Reyna’s first book Persian Food from the Non Persian Bride was published. Today, Reyna shares her journey to clean eating with you, [...]

As echoed by my WeightWatchers leader, Anne in response to my tamale pie, the benchmark of a good vegetarian (or in this case, vegan) dish is whether or not you would serve it to meat-eating guests. When I discovered The Vegan Slow Cooker by Kathy Hester, I read it cover to cover, and there is not a dish I would hesitate to serve to a starving carnivore. Not only is [...]

My wife is away on business, my son is sleeping, the snow outside is melting, and my kitchen is flooding. I’m assured that the plumber will be here before 10pm but in the meantime, all I can think about is the fact my plans for an early night have been washed away a leaking dishwasher. If you’re a fan of my Facebook page, you will have seen me talking about [...]

For my readers that are fellow WeightWatchers, I apologize for putting temptation in your way for the second time this week, but remember, you can eat whatever we want, you just can’t eat it with a shovel!

I don’t bake cakes. I cook. I don’t like to bake because I like to be free from direction in the kitchen. For some, cooking a science, for me, it’s an art, and I have learned the hard way that backing science without weights and measures is dangerous. I do, however, appreciate cake – lemon cake, chocolate cake, coffee cake and even fruit cake – and am lucky to have [...]
