In the months leading up to Pesach, I often look at my Shabbat table and think to myself, “Wow – look at that. This whole meal, minus the challah, could be served on Passover.” Fish or chicken, a quinoa pilaf, and loads of fresh salads. And yet come Pesach, I inevitably find myself in a [...]

I love eating sufganiyot for Chanukah. But I don’t always love making them. Scratch that. I like making them, but the rise time is a major bummer. So last night, when I had a hankering for something fried, but didn’t want to wait a few hours for my yeast dough to rise, I had a [...]
