Kosher Pickled Cucumbers
My father made these Pickled Cucumbers when I was growing up. I tried them once, and my kids fell in love with them. Now every morning they ask me to make them a pita stuffed with humus and these pickles for school. I call them old fashioned pickles because they don't use pickling mixes or any such modern ingredients. In this recipe the cucumbers are pickled in water, salt, vinegar, garlic and dill.

About Chickpeas
Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are edible legumes. As a pareve source of protein, chickpeas are a valued ingredient in kosher cooking. Sephardic Jews have long cooked with chickpeas. In Israel, as in other Middle Eastern countries, the beans are popularly used for dishes like hummus and falafal. Ashkenazi Jews traditionally serve chickpeas at the Shalom Zachar celebration for baby boys, and they have recently started to add chickpeas to stews, soups and salads.

Israeli Hummus
Hummus, made from garbanzo beans (a.k.a. chickpeas), is served as an appetizer, side dish or main course in Israel. Today grocery stores in Israel sell a variety of Hummus spreads (with pine nuts, with olive oil and paprika, with zaatar, with tahina...). Hummus tastes best when scooped up by a piece of warm Pita bread.

Israeli Chocolate Rugelach
While I prefer rugelach filled with preserves and nuts, my kids like chocolate filled rugelach the best. Americans tend to fill their chocolate rugelach simply with mini-chocolate chips, while Israelis tend to make their own chocolate filling. The Israeli version of chocolate rugelach, which usually includes a touch of cinnamon, is more interesting in my opinion.

Matboucha
Matboucha, a traditional Moroccan dish, is so popular in Israel that it can be found right next to the Hummus on Israeli grocery store shelves. Once you make it yourself, you won't want to settle for store-bought Matboucha anymore. My neighbor in Israel, Carmit, came over and showed me how to make this Matboucha recipe. While Matboucha can be served hot or cold, we like it best cold on a cracker or fresh pita.

Israeli Breakfast
To avoid the hot sun, Israel’s pioneer farmers would work in the early morning. After the day heated up and their appetites were large, they would break for a hearty meal of bread, olives, cheese, and vegetables. While few Israelis today take the time to eat this full morning meal, Israeli hotels generally serve a large, varied and satiating “Israeli breakfast” to tourists.

These August Shabbat menus for Friday night dinner and Saturday lunch include quick recipes for lite dishes.

Eastern European Jews brought bagels to North America in the late 19th century. Although bagels are considered "Jewish food", they have no religious significance. Bagels simply have been popular in Jewish circles for generations. Given bagels are prepared by boiling and then baking yeast dough, they have a doughy interior and a somewhat crisp exterior.

No need to throw away those old bananas just because there is no need for cake in your home now.

This Vegetarian Cholent is hearty and delicious, but much lighter than meat cholent recipes.

Lettuce Salad with SD Tomatoes
This Lettuce Salad with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Pecans is an attempt to recreate a salad served at the Bonafey Restaurant in Kfar Rut, Israel.

Naomi Muller's Tuna Patties
Naomi Muller's Tuna Patties call for just seven ingredients, all of which are likely to be sitting in your pantry at any time. I don't actually use her measurements when I make these. I add a lot more potato and a lot less garlic. I also fry in canola oil. These are a nice twist when you're tired of serving the same-old for dinner.

Rugelach is sold fresh everywhere you turn in Israel, so I never felt the need to make my own. But six months into running a Kosher Food site, the time arrived for me to give it a try. I researched a bunch of recipes, took ideas from each of them, and then compiled this rugelach recipe. I was surprised to find that making rugelach is quite easy, and homemade is so much better than bought rugelach.

One Pot Shabbat
This recipe cooks the chicken and the rice together in the same pot. The rice is delicious as it absorbs the juices from the chicken. Make sure that the chicken is sealed tightly when cooking so that the steam stays in the pot and keeps the chicken moist.

Pearled Barley Pilaf
Barley is a grain with a nut-like flavor and a pasta-like consistency. Pearled barley is hulled barley that has been polished so that the ends (bran) of the kernel are removed. While pearled barley is lower in nutrients than hulled barley, it cooks more quickly. Pearled Barley Pilaf is a great way to upgrade your next chicken dinner. As a less familiar side dish than rice, couscous, farfel or potatoes, barley can dress up a meal.

Hamburger
Growing up in Israel, I foolishly thought "kizizot" were hamburgers. And then I went to America and met the real thing. And when my American girlfriend's parents served these hamburgers, the thought of proposing first crossed my mind.

Kuchen means "cake" in German, and refers to a variety of cakes. This kuchen, which was my grandmother's recipe, is a coffee cake with veins and pockets of baked-in cinnamon and sugar. My mother traditionally baked this cake for the holiday of Shavuot, but my family and friends like it so much that I make it all year round. If you are looking for an excellent, dairy, coffee cake and you are not looking to count calories, then this is the cake to bake!

Israeli Shakshouka (Parve)
Shakshouka (also spelled Shakshuka), from the Hebrew word leshakshek meaning "to shake", is a spiced egg and tomato dish which Israelis are happy to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner. While the origin is North African, even the most Ashkenazi Israelis love shakshouka - which they tend to spice with paprika.

Cauliflower Broccoli Salad
I made this Cauliflower Broccoli Salad for our Israeli Independence Day picnic. The carrots and red onion add color, and the sunflower seeds and cashews add flavor. The simple dressing consists of mayonnaise, red wine vinegar and brown sugar. Be sure to chop the vegetables into small pieces. This salad makes a refreshing and lite accompaniment to grilled meat.

Honey Mustard Chicken
This saucy Honey Mustard Chicken - with its curry and garlic kick - is perfect for Jewish holiday and Sabbath lunches because it does not dry out when reheated on the Shabbat Plata (hotplate). The honey in it makes is particularly fitting for Rosh Hashanah lunch. Serve with rice, which can be topped with the chicken's extra sauce, and a green salad or vegetable.

Eazy Lazy Meatballs
One of the challenges I face in my life today is how to satiate the appetite of my always-hungry, 13-year-old son. I recently discovered that meatballs hit the spot. I call them Eazy Lazy Meatballs because they are easy enough for my son to make by himself so I can be lazy about dinner for a night or two.

Classic Gefilte Fish (Pareve)
At the time of the Mishna (200 CE), rabbis deemed it meritorious to eat fish on the Sabbath and Jews became accustomed to eating fish at festive meals. Due to the plethora of rivers in Europe, Ashkenazi Jews tended to cook with freshwater fish. Eastern European Jews would make a mixture of chopped fish, stuff it back into the skin of the fish, and boil it. The word gefilte means stuffed in Yiddish.

Chocolate Chip Mandelbrot
Mandelbrot, which literally means almond (mandel) bread (brot), is a twice-baked hard bread similar to Italian biscotti. While classic Mandelbrot is made with almonds, my kids prefer this Americanized version with chocolate chips.

This recipe was given to me by an old flatmate who is also an artist. She prepares the most wonderful food and this chocolate mouse always gets rave reviews. I have made it here with 250 grams of chocolate but you can use any amount that you like always keeping the ratio of 1 egg per every 50 grams of chocolate plus one extra egg white. Thanks Liora!

Pasta Bechamel
I had a problem. The boxed Macaroni and Cheese sets contain unhealthy chemicals, and my attempts to make homemade macaroni and cheese were failing because the cheese would get lumpy. My friend Jay Engelmayer, Senior Culinary Lecturer for the Jerusalem Culinary Institute, came to my rescue with this wonderful Pasta Bechamel recipe.
