Food

There is nothing more Sephardic than rice.

This year Mother’s Day falls closely on the heels of Yom Ha’atmaut, so Rachel and I were inspired to add an Israeli element to our Sunday brunch: flaky crispy burekas baked with a salty feta and egg filling.

Is there anything like the sweet torture of the aroma of bread baking in the oven?

For David Suissa’s mother, the last day of Pesach is the day she serves solda, an old-school Moroccan dish that transforms leftover matzah into comfort food.

Whatever customs your family follows at the Seder, just know that you are creating moments of joy and pride and lasting memories. 

Whenever I’m invited for a meal and I ask the hostess what she’d like me to bring, the answer is usually “Chocolate Torte, please!”
