Yerushalmi Kugel was created in the 1700’s in Jerusalem. Joan Nathan writes in her book: “The Jewish Holiday Kitchen” that Yerushalmi Kugel comes from the Gaon of Vilna and his followers. This fact is personally intriguing. My Aunt Hilda, my Father’s older sister, always told me that somehow we were […] The post Yerushalmi Kugel appeared first on Kosher By Gloria ..read more

If there ever was a 1-2-3 or Ich Mich Pich recipe as my Mother in Law would say, Pulled Beef is it. Place your beef in a roasting pan with sliced onions, pour a bottle of barbecue sauce over it, cover and bake for 4 hours. I served the Pulled […] The post Pulled Beef appeared first on Kosher By Gloria ..read more

Parsnips look like white carrots and are very sweet. They have a center core which softens completely in chicken soup. In this recipe, I boil them until they are crisp-tender. The outside of the parsnips become soft; but the core, depending on how thick it is, remains hard. I like […] The post Glazed Parsnips appeared first on Kosher By Gloria ..read more

Ever wonder how Coleslaw got its name. According to Wikipedia: “The term “coleslaw” arose in the 18th century as an anglicisation of the Dutch term “koolsla” (“kool” in Dutch sounds like “cole”) meaning “cabbage salad”. The “cole” part of the word ultimately derives from the Latin caulis, meaning cabbage.” Whether […] The post Coleslaw appeared first on Kosher By Gloria ..read more

Don’t use cooking wine or an old bottle of dried Tarragon for this sauce. This White Wine and Tarragon Sauce depends on a dry, crisp, white wine and the fresh color and flavor of a new bottle of dried tarragon.

I make this Asparagus and Celery Root Soup with white asparagus rather than green. White asparagus have a more delicate flavor than green and allow the flavor of the mild celery root to come through. Fresh white asparagus are only available during Spring. I remember how excited my Mother used […] The post Asparagus and Celery Root Soup appeared first on Kosher By Gloria ..read more

I can’t remember where I first ate Chopped Eggs and Onions. It could have been at a hotel in the Catskills or at an older relative’s house. All I know is that I loved it. It’s completely different from Egg Salad. There’s no celery and no mayonnaise. In the old […] The post Chopped Eggs and Onions appeared first on Kosher By Gloria ..read more

I find Roasting a Pumpkin to be easy and very satisfying. The best pumpkins to roast are Sugar Pumpkins. They have a sweet and mellow flavor that is perfect for pies. Yes, you can use canned pumpkin for pumpkin recipes; but where’s the fun in that? Roasting a Pumpkin rather […] The post Roasting a Pumpkin appeared first on Kosher By Gloria ..read more

I love Leek Quiche. Leeks have a milder and more mellow flavor than onions. When they’re sautéed, the leeks just seem to melt into the custard filling. Leeks also mix beautifully with other vegetables. I often reduce the amount of leeks by a cup or two and substitute them with […] The post Leek Quiche appeared first on Kosher By Gloria ..read more
