    Baking and Desserts

    Whether you want to bake a cake for a special occasion, bread for shabbat, or cookies for the kids, you’ll find so many choices from my “world famous” chocolate rugelach to easy yet elegant pear cake to comforting challah.

    You’ll find something to please everyone’s sweet tooth. Have you ever considered serving a cookie with a cocktail? My orange thyme and fig cocktail cookies are perfect for this!

    My favorite recipe in the group? If forced to choose, then the cranberry orange rugelach created to honor my Aunt Marilyn would have to be my choice.
