Malawach Deli Borekas

September 29, 2026 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! I like the idea of deli roll, but I've always felt that the classic deli roll could use some major improvements. These malawach deli borekas include so many improvements over the classic: swap puff pastry for the vastly more delicious malawach dough, cut the deli up so every bite has a bit of everything, and make them in beautiful yet practical single serve units. Trust me, you'll never want to go back to the classic!   If you like this recipe, you'll love my upcoming cookbook, Real Life Shabbos Cooking! Did you know that I share cooking … [Read more...]

Fan Favorites: Pumpkin Crumb Cake from Something Sweet

September 23, 2026 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! In honor of my upcoming FIFTH cookbook, Real Life Shabbos Cooking, I decided to go back and share some fan favorites from my first four cookbooks to give you a taste of my style that you can expect from Real Life Shabbos Cooking. Starting off strong with one of the best cake recipes I've ever made, the impossibly perfect Pumpkin Crumb Cake from my first cookbook, Something Sweet! This cake is incredibly moist, perfectly spiced, and has an obscene amount of crumbs, as a good crumb cake should. This cozy fall cake is going to be the … [Read more...]

Chicken Capons with Leek and Date Stuffing

September 2, 2026 by overtimecook 4 Comments

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! I always find it ironic that some people think of chicken capons as an old-fashioned dish. Maybe it's time to rename it chicken roulade and celebrate how beautiful this chicken looks on the plate (especially when you serve it sliced, as pictured). The fact that it can be prepared ahead and frozen is just another bonus!  If you aren't familiar with chicken capons, they are what kosher butchers call a deboned chicken leg, with the skin still attached. They are one of my favorite ways to serve chicken, and I am grateful to Los Angeles's … [Read more...]

Buttery Toffee Crunch Chocolate Chip Cookies

May 18, 2026 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! These cookies are unhinged, but in the best way possible. To be honest, I've been dreaming about them for a while. I made them in the past, but in parve. They were good, but they weren't what I was dreaming of. So when shavuos came around, I knew it was the perfect time for these amazing cookies to be made in dairy - to their full potential.  Sure, making the cornflake toffee crack is an extra step, but it is a VERY WORTHWHILE one! In fact, might I suggest doubling the cornflake crack so you'll have extra for snacking on? (Trust me on … [Read more...]

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! I recently invited my friend Dani Goldblatt, of Holy Smokes Kosher BBQ (check out here brilliant recipes and ideas here) to my home to cook some delicious meat delicacies with me, and this crazy-amazing recipe is what we came up with. The flavors in this Onion and Beef Bacon Relish are wild - deep, complex, and everything works so well together. This relish would be perfect to eat on challah or sourdough, or serve it over a steak (tutorial on that coming soon!).  Did you know that I share cooking demos, menu plans, giveaways, and lots more … [Read more...]
