Mmmh, this challah “à la danoise” seems familiar to me ) I am glad you enjoyed this technique.

- Lori Lynn – thanks for the comment on the challah — I’ll soon post how I braided it
- Ry – glad you liked a bunch of my recipes. The soup is pretty easy and is already linked…I will post the quinoa soon because I made a few modifications the Erika Strums recipe. As for the memories — you were a huge help with that!
Love, Z

Chanie – Thanks for visiting. First off, I don’t see why you couldn’t bake the madeleines batter in mini-cupcake pans. Second, I just bought new madeleine pans (from France), but there are some not-too-expensive ones on Amazon. That being said, if you have a small kitchen (I used to live in NYC), sometimes its just to hard to fit everything in.

the madeline’s look great – can i make them in something other than a madeline pan? though i love them, am not interested in buying another pan right now…

Erika – Grandma’s recipes are usually not-to-be-messed-with. But you could always offer to bring over a dish or two. Unfortunately, none of my Bubbies are with us, so my mom and I have taken over. Thanks for providing such a great wine list — we’ll be drinking a few of your recommendations and I might try your quinoa with tehina and chickpeas recipe too!

Julie – send the French flourless brownies recipe in case I need a second chocolate dessert!

Though I love my Grandma, I wish she would switch things up a bit and borrow some recipes from you Thanks again for the mention and best of luck on your holiday cookin’ endeavor! It’s certainly ambitous

Sarah – My plans are usually MUCH more elaborate than what actually happens. And my family helps out a lot, including buying the wine. I like making these long lists to get ideas for later, next year, etc. And luckily all of my guest have generously offered to bring dishes. I’ll be posting the braiding technique for the challah soon (might wait til after RH and include a round one…). Shana Tova to you and your family…

Dolce – The bistro chocolate cake will be posted soon. It’s very good, made with oil (!) and minimal flour. Not too sweet either.
