Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Crustless spinach and zucchini quiche (Jibn)

    • mzgourmand on April 03, 2021

      This was delicious! It is one version of a fantastic Syrian Jewish recipe - I had a friend who would bring a somewhat version of this to Break Fast every year and I would devour multiple helpings! I did not add the spinach to my rendition as I had lots of zucchini (and that's what my friend used), but otherwise followed the recipe faithfully - the cottage cheese helps to keep the recipe lovely and fluffy but it is still a substantial and protein packed dish. I just loved it and it will be on repeat even when it's not a holiday - especially great dish for a dairy/fish-based kosher meal or vegetarian supper.

      Excellent recipe. We ate some over a few meals and froze 2 portions for later.

  • Tomato scrambled eggs

    • Cathyschuh on September 23, 2021

      Nice way to put a spin on eggs for dinner. I made 2x the base (tomato onion etc) and used that to add to a soup the next day; that added a lot to the flavor as well. I will put this one on repeat.

  • Shakshuka

    • rrackles on December 15, 2020

      Too sweet. Too much tomato paste

  • Chicken paprikash

    • dedi04 on July 23, 2022

      After searing, I put it in the slow cooker and let it simmer on HIGH for two hours. I used chicken breast fillet in pieces. Works fine!
