My Activity
Reviewed Classic Molasses Cookies
"I make them small - two bites size and they're great - not too sweet, crunchy and full of flavor. They're easy to make and go quickly. One of my favorite cookies ever."
Reviewed Cherry-Walnut Gelatin Mold
"Hi All, Duff's mom here -
This cherished jello recipe has been requisite in our Thanksgiving AND Passover repertoire since I was a kid! Duff and his big brother, Willie love it. It goes great with any fowl - even duck, which I make a lot.
In fact, I'm making it today for Thanksgiving tomorrow. I've been using the same Tupperware mold for c"
Reviewed Mamo's Apple Strudel
"Hi All, Duff's mom here -
I just wanted to add that yes, the filling will be similar to chunky applesauce but don't rush the cooking. I let it sit on the stove to thoroughly cool after cooking and plenty more moisture evaporates. The pineapple somehow (I'm sure Alton would know why) gives the filling more clarity than the apples on their own. "
Reviewed Granola, Yogurt, Berry Parfait
"As much as I dislike breakfast, I've been told I must eat something within a half-hour of waking in order to get my metabolism going. I don't have time nor the inclination to eat in the morning but since I started making my yogurt parfaits, I'm loving it.

Reviewed Caprese Salad
"Classic and I agree - the better the ingredients are mandatory! Use fresh cheese for this - not the rubbery (pizza) kind. Serve with a crusty artisan bread or grilled garlic toast. You don't need much else.
Although I love balsamic vinaigrette as a salad dressing, I don't think you need it for this perfectly balanced salad. A good olive oil""
About Me
Born to a good-food oriented family. My Russian g'mother was a sensational cook and baker. She owned one cookbook - The Settlement Cookbook. Most of her recipes were her own or adaptations of traditional Jewish/Russian/Mediterranean cuisines. I don't have the patience to make pastries like she could but it looks like Duff inherited a few baking genes from her. Mamo's love of preparing foods for the family she adored permeated our lives and I know influenced Duff to embrace the culinary arts.
