Malawach Deli Borekas

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...]

But for the rest of you, here's a fun story. 12 years ago, I invented the original chanukah gelt cookies trend. It was a totally new idea, so I didn't even coin the phrase "chanukah gelt cookies" until I made a second version, a year later.   In the years since, I, as well as so many others, have gotten inspired by it … [Read more...]
