Hungarian Chicken Paprikash Sweet-and-Sour Cabbage & Apple Potato Salad Krupnik Bread and Apple Shalet Meal the Fifth Oh, kitchen gadgets. Some of you get used so often, and others have taken up permanent residency in a drawer (I’m talking to you, avocado dicer/peeler, who we frequently forget about and are pretty sure probably won’t work as easy as you claim to in the as-seen-on-tv commercials). One of our biggest kitchen investments (besides a very nice set of knives), was our ...

Our First Meal: Lemons and Chickens and Beets, Oh My!
Meal the First Our first food foray into The Book of Jewish Food by Claudia Roden was the following meal: Poule -au-Bouillon accompanied by Beet Salad, Hallah, and Lemon Sorbet.
