Hamantashen Time. Purim is here!
It’s hamantashen time at our place. The Jewish festival of Purim is coming soon. Hamantashen is the name for the sweet three-cornered filled pastry served
Yom Kippur Inspiration
Yom Kippur is almost here. And we are here to help in the best way we can.
Breaking the Fast? Or Just Need Do-Ahead Dishes? We’re Here to Help
If you’re looking for end-of-Yom Kippur inspiration, here it is. Or if you’re looking for do-ahead dishes, here they are.
Need some ideas for the best recipes for the feast to break the fast? Need some ideas for the best recipes to make a day ahead?
Most of the recipes come from our books, and a few can be found on the website, along with some videos, see links below.
We’ve made a note of page numbers: MMCC is our first book, Monday Morning Cooking Club, TFGO is The Feast Goes On and AATF is It’s Always About the Food.
We’ve chosen dishes that can all be prepared the day before and suit either a heavier ‘meat’ meal or a lighter ‘milk’ meal. And we’ve added a Middle Eastern meal just for fun. They are just ideas to get you started. Any questions? Send us an email!
And don’t forget the amazing honey cakes and other New Year’s treats here.

It's hamantashen time at our...
A brand new youtube series...
The 2023 Rosh Roundup.
No words today.
This is the Israeli pavilion at the Venice Biennale. It is closed.
Israeli artist Ruth Patir has taped this to the door:
‘The artist and curators of the Israeli pavilion will open the exhibition when a cease-fire and hostage release agreement is reached’.
Here’s a bit of Israeli biennale history. In 1948 Israeli Jewish painters first participated under the Erez Israel, Artisti Palestinesi pavilion sponsored by Italian Jews.
In 1950, Israel opened its own pavilion.
There are 29 countries who have their own, including Australia.
In the lead-up to this year’s biennale, there were (sadly yet unsurprisingly) calls for a boycott of the Israeli pavilion including a letter signed by over 22,000 artists and cultural workers.
Thankfully, Italy’s culture minister Sangiuliano labelled calls for boycott as ‘shameful’: ‘The Venice Biennale will always be a space of freedom, meeting and dialogue and not a space of censorship and intolerance. Culture is a bridge between people and nations, not a dividing wall.’
