Mint Chocolate Brownies

By: Danya Weiner Disclosure #1: This recipe is an atypical version of the most typical dessert. Ok, continue… For some odd reason, the (may I saw) amazing combo of mint-chocolate hasn’t become a big hit in Israel. Personally I love the blend, and almost always have a bar of Lindt (Swiss) Mint  (70% cacao) on hand (hidden), for those (many) times when I’m craving something bitter-sweet. A few weeks ago we were invited by friends to a dinner party and I offered to bring dessert. I have a sure-fire recipe for brownies, which I decided I was going to make. The recipe, which belongs to a colleague of mine, Michal Moses, produces the most delicious almost black, rich, bitter-sweet cake. When I got down to making the cake, I realized that I was out of regular dark chocolate, and with two small kids at home, a trip to the market was not in my destiny. There was no other choice than to take my mint chocolate out of hiding. *Disclosure #2- I have a thing for making classic recipes with a...

Good ol' Chili

By: Deanna Linder Some things will always remain a mystery. God, how the pyrimads were built, and amongst other things, why Mexican food has not become popular as an ethic food in Israel. According to rational thinking, it should be a sure sell. Israelis love wrapped foods (in pita), tomatoes, onions and spicy food; all shared with the Mexican kitchen. But for some odd reason, every attempt at making authentic Mexican food has not lasted more than a few seasons. This has left me, a southern California transplant, where Mexican food and sushi are as close as it comes to regional cuisine, with major cravings for proper Mexican food. Lucky for me there is a company here called Tres Pesos, which produces Mexican products such as tortillas, salsas, etc. One of their products is called masa harina, which is very finely ground corn flour, used to make corn tortillas. This is the secret ingredient in this recipe and really gives this chili a much deeper flavor. You can find their products  at...

Baked Eggplant Parmesan

By: Deanna Linder I have a theory on couples. This theory works on about 50% of the population of couples and it states that many couples, despite their appearance at the beginning of the relationship will eventually end up looking alike, physically.  My brother and sister-in-law look more like brother and sister than do I and my brother. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law look so much alike that I think they should even do a DNA test before having children (too far, I know).  I even know an inter-racial couple, who now, after 8 years of being together, look more alike every day. Me and my other half are on the other end of that 50%. No matter how much time has passed (12 years, but who’s counting), we still don’t resemble each other in the slightest. What has happened though, is a sort of molding, or gravitation to each other’s culinary habits.  He’ll eat anchovies now (most of the time he doesn’t know it), and I’ll even eat breakfast for dinner, which goes almost against...
