Apple Pie Recipe

This is simply the best apple pie I have ever tasted. It is very rich, since it is made with sour cream. It is also very easy to make and virtually foolproof. The crust works perfectly every single time.

Braised Lamb Shanks Recipe

Although not “officially” a Jewish recipe, lamb shanks long have been popular with traditional Jewish cooks.

Lamb Shank Tagine Recipe

This lamb shank recipe is mostly of Moroccan origin. However, it has a few surprises. The addition of Chinese five spice seasoning adds some complexity and the use of Israeli pearl couscous makes the disk less grainy than traditional couscous dishes. The little apricot pieces add both color and a pleasant sweetness which enhances the lamb’s flavor.
