Pesadik or not, this is one of the great chocolate cakes of all time. The flavor is deep and richly chocolaty but not overly sweet, with a texture that is light and airy, but not dry. Perfect for after a heavy meal (or for breakfast, or at 3:00 am…)

One Woman’s Quest FOR universal TRUTH AND A FABULOUS MEAL

A meal can be so much more than just food.

A meal can bring people together; it can calm or stimulate, even educate. A fabulous meal teases all the senses.

A fabuolus meal looks good, tastes good, is fun, and nourishes us, body and soul.

Shabbat and Yom Tov should always be fabulous, but in reality, sometimes we feel more inspired than others.

If you’re scratching your head, trying to think up a creative menu for this Friday night or the next Jewish holiday, I hope you’ll find inspiration here.

what makes A FABULOUS Meal?

The Twisted Challah is proud to be featured in AARP magazine

“ten passover recipes to wow family and friends.”

At our table, and in our family, everyone is welcome.

Imagine!

Vegetarians and omnivores sitting side by side! Maybe world peace is possible!

(and don’t forget the carnivores under the table.)

a quest for universal truth

My quest for universal truth is an evolving process, ever unfolding like the leaves of a cosmic artichoke, each delicious moment leading closer and closer to the heart.

As a student of Torah, I consider the classic explanations and teachings of our sages through the ages, but they don’t bind my thoughts. I often discover my own interpretations. It’s not so much a “no, but” situation as it is a “yes, and!”

Where do these ruminations come from? Sometimes, the stuff that falls out of my head is inspired by the thoughts of others—and not only from religious writings but also from anyone who’s ever had a thought and been bothered to write it down. Other times, these cerebrations occur from simply staring into space.
