We are all for supporting the local restaurants in town, but sometimes it can be a lot of fun to try and recreate your favorite local eatery’s classics. Just like you’ve probably tried making Chinese sesame chicken or egg rolls from the comfort of your own home, why not bake those classic black and white cookies, kokosh cake, or rugelach at home too?
Not only will you be able to have as many of those baked goods as you want 😉 but you’ll also have a blast making them. Talk about a great snow day activity, too!
Enjoy and happy baking!

How to help an anxious care-giver learn to bake. My filipino care-giver has mastered cooking. She makes really good latkes, stuffed cabbage, all kinds of fish, chicken and meat, with the help of recipes from all over, including kosher.com, of course. But she is afraid to learn to bake. (I call this the Hansel and Gretel syndrome). Can you suggest a way to help her learn some of the baking basics – probaby simple and not medium or harder – especially with low sugar, sugar free, or sugar substitute?
Thanks,
