Matzo Brei

Matzo Brei

Please welcome Hank Shaw as he shares a Passover treat with us. Hank made the savory version of matzo brei for my parents and me the other day, we loved it! ~Elise

I grew up in a New Jersey town with lots of Jewish people, so I received an early education in things like the Seder, or Purim or Hannukah. I remember this dish as a quick meal my friends' mothers would make when I came over during Passover. I remember it as "maht-zuh-brai," with the "brai" rhyming with "try." I only later learned that it's spelled matzo brei.

Matzo brei is a Jewish version of a universal breakfast: A bready thing with eggs. It's sorta like huevos rancheros, or leftover dumplings and eggs. It is ridiculously simple, with as many incarnations as there are cooks.

Mussels in White Wine Sauce

Mussels in White Wine Sauce

My friend Guy (that's pronounced "Gee" with a hard "g") grew up in Southern France, in Provence, near the sea. And like so many people from Provence, Guy has a passion for all things seafood, especially mussels, or as the French call them, "moules". Mussels steamed in white wine and served in a sauce made from the cooking liquid with butter and shallots is a classic French preparation of mussels, moules mariniere. This is Guy's method for moules mariniere, the way he grew up making it in France, and one of the easiest and loveliest ways of preparing mussels. It is wonderful for an appetizer or a light lunch, and excellent with a glass of white wine and some crusty bread.

Spaghetti With Roasted Pepper Sauce and more...


Spaghetti With Roasted Pepper Sauce

I love pasta of any description as long as it is cooked properly. There is nothing worse than a mushy bowl of pasta, and no matter how wonderful the sauce may be, if you’ve overcooked the pasta you’ve spoiled the dish. Although I love making fresh pasta at home and stuffing it, or layering it in a delectable lasagna dish, some of these pasta dishes are a little labor intensive and best left for days when you’ve got a lot of time in the kitchen. Luckily, there is now a huge...

Spring Farro Salad With Fennel

We eat a variety of healthy grains in our home, but one of our favorites is an ancient grain I discovered while we were living in Umbria called farro. I use farro in my soups, in place of rice in risotto, as well as in a variety of salads such as this one made with fennel, celery, and edamame. If I were in Umbria, I would use fresh fava beans in this salad, but unfortunately fava beans are very difficult to find here in Florida, so I substituted edamame instead. If you prefer, spring peas would...

Tuscan Meringues With Berries

Crisp, sweet meringue cups are a perfect foil for sweet berries and cream in this great spring dessert recipe. This is a dessert that is really quite easy to make and is very elegant to serve when entertaining or for special holidays. I honestly haven’t made this special treat myself for a few years and then I “rediscovered” the recipe when I started to go through some of my old recipes that didn’t make it onto my blog when it went through the latest redesign. I have...

Cannoli Siciliana

Cannoli Siciliana ~ Cannoli are basically crisp, sweet crunchy tubes which are filled with a cream or ricotta cheese filling, often flavored with cocoa, nuts, chocolate, or candied fruits. This is a very traditional recipe for cannoli which are a very popular sweet in Sicily. You will need 3 to 4 metal cannoli tubes to makes these cannoli which are readily available at most kitchen stores. Do not fill the cannoli too far in advance, or they may become soggy. I often add a little chocolate to my...
