Recipe: Pear Almond Cookies

My Pear Almond Cookies are based on the traditional recipe of Turkish elmali kurabiye (or apple cookies). Only I modified the filling by using pears and almonds instead of apples and walnuts. The result are delicious, juicy cookies. I haven’t Read More …

A cookie a day keeps the sadness away. Life recently hasn’t been bad. But it hasn’t been magnificent either. I mean besides our week of vacation in Maine and our two little kittens, obviously. It feels a bit like waiting Read More …

I have a big bag full of cookie cutters. Some are still from Germany – like the traditional star shaped ones for Christmas cookies. Others are from Istanbul where the amazing baking supply shops had such a great variety to Read More …

I can’t even remember the last time I baked. I only know that I didn’t have time to make any Christmas cookies last year. This is kind of weird because I love cake and cookies – and I eat many. Read More …

Everbody needs a blankie and Josephine ❤️ her
Everbody needs a blankie and Josephine ❤️ her personalized blanket because it is super soft 👶. We loved choosing it for her - there were so many options for colors 🎨, fonts and symbols. Eventually we settled for teal and the elephant 🐘. The blanket has the right size to wrap up Josephine, put her on it or even put it in the stroller with her. Also, because it is made in the U.S., it arrived within a few days. We (and esp. Josephine) are so happy with this blanket 🧺 {link in story and bio}
P.s. Now her German Opa will never again misspell her name 🤓

Yesterday we went to Katz's for the first time 🤩. My pastrami sandwich 🥪 was delicious, but a little too big. And I love myself a good chocolate egg cream 🥤 (milk + chocolate syrup + soda), a real NYC invention.
Recently, I have developed a big interest in the history of immigrant cultures and their foods in NYC (ca. 1850 to 1920). And now I have a whole new list of restaurants, diners and delis that we need to go to 🤓📜. Do you have any recommendations for me?
