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...]

Teriyaki Chicken Wontons (or Egg Rolls)

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! Ever made something so good, people continued to talk about two and a half years later? That was me with these Teriyaki Chicken Wontons. I actually made them as eggrolls initially, and served them at a party. People still tell me it's their favorite thing I have ever made, so you know it's pretty memorable! I made the same filling into wontons, for more of a finger-food vibe, but it's your choice - wonton or eggroll - the important thing is how incredibly delicious they are! Thank you to Western Kosher for sponsoring this recipe!  If you … [Read more...]

After sharing this recipe in my 3rd cookbook, More Real Life Kosher Cooking , it was an instant viral sensation.

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...]

My favorite kind of shabbos lunch appetizer to serve is a log of something that I can put on a board and serve with a knife - so everyone can cut the size slice of their choosing.
