Farmers Market Summer Meal

This week’s post is a guest post by Shir Halpern, food writer and founder of the Tel Aviv Farmers Market. One evening at an event in the Farmers Market, Danya and Deanna invited me to do a guest post on their blog, and I immediately said “Yes”! I met Danya some years ago while working at the Israeli culinary magazine, “Al Hashulchan”. I was cooking and she was photographing, and we found many common passions for food, styling, design, dishes, knives (cooking of course) and food magazines. Any chance I get to have the food I make photographed professionally I jump at; it brings out the visual, creative side in me and allows me to “play with the food”- to think not only about the flavors of the food but also the colors, texture and feeling. Doing this with Danya and Deanna is about as good as it gets- it was an honor for me to cook and for them to do their thing. Even better was that when I got to the studio, they had just finished shooting the cinnamon pull apart bread- and...

Ricotta Stuffed Shells with Pesto

By: Deanna Linder When I first moved to Israel I really wasn’t much of a cook. I had just finished four years of college, where I lived in a house with six girls, none of whom was much into eating anything other than take-out (including myself). Then I move here, and spend much of my time at my then-boyfriends’ house (now husband) and discover a home full of home cooked meals. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all eaten at home, and there was always a plate of food, covered in plastic wrap, waiting by the microwave to be heated up for the younger kids as they got home from school. After four years of junk, I really appreciated this way of eating. I started cooking myself and my mother-in-law took notice and bought me my first Hebrew cookbook “Fast and Fabulous” by Israeli cookbook guru, Benny Saida. I started preparing dishes from the book, and I took a major liking to his recipe for pesto. Fast forward about seven years, when starting out as a food stylist, I get a call from Danya...

Chubby Pizza

I hardly make pizza at home. Not because it's a hard task; it actually just takes a few minutes (in a mixer), one hour to rise, really short baking time, and you've got yourself an incredible pizza. The reason I don't make pizza often is because fresh yeast has a short shelf-life in the fridge, and so I usually don't keep yeast around. So when I get the craving to make homemade pizza- I end up ordering instead of running to the supermarket. Danya recently told me that she always makes double the amount of dough that she needs; half goes to the oven and the other half is divided into balls, wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen. The frozen balls of dough defrost in no-time, and are the perfect size for a personal pizza. Love that idea! So in honor of Danya's fabulous patent, and pregnant Deanna who has been craving pizza for the past month, and for all the pizza lovers, here is a great recipe for pizza made with homemade tomato sauce. I like my sauce to be coarse in texture so I cut the tomatoes...
