Recipes

from the kitchen with the door in the floor

These recipes are from my menus for Shabbat and other Jewish holidays.

Nevertheless, great food is great food.

Meaning, you don’t have to be Jewish to love these recipes or to hang out at The Twisted Challah

This is like the index you find in the back of a cookbook.

Select a heading below to go to the list you’re looking for, or just peruse the “aisles.”

Perhaps you’ll discover a new favorite!
