Take a lesson or two from your kids. Don't be afraid to play with your food. Color outside the lines. Try something new. Use your hands.
The most fun part of cooking is putting your own spin on the dish. Using your own flavors and substitutions is what makes the food custom tailored to your taste buds. When it becomes more about following your instincts and less about following the recipe exactly, you uncover a whole new dimension of cooking. That's where the fun lives.
With the help of some really great cooks, we've put together this page of inspiration. My recipes, your spin. So get into the kitchen and have some fun. Maybe the next feature will be yours. Email us! [email protected]
Roasted Veggie Quinoa With Chicken By Sori Goldstein
Sori Goldstein sent us this pic of her version of Roasted Veggie Quinoa. She cleverly took it from side dish to full meal in a bowl with the addition of leftover chicken. She also added some leftover store bought soy based dressing and tossed it all together. Yum! Thanks Sori!
Read more...Challah and Chocolate Buns by Miriam Weg
Miriam Weg used our Best Challah Ever recipe to make these challahs and rolls. She used the remainder of the dough to make chocolate buns!! Yum! She rolled the challah dough thin, spread a thin layer of bakers choice liquid marble, then sprinkled equal amounts cocoa powder, confectioner's sugar and sugar over it, rolled it up and cut into circles. She brushed with beaten egg and baked for about 40 minutes. Definitely trying this one. Thanks Miriam!
Challah Rolls by Leah Steinman
Leah Steinman used our Best Challah Ever recipe to make these beautiful rolls. She brushed them with egg and sprinkled on some dried rosemary, poppy seeds and sesame seeds before baking. She baked them for about 30 minutes at 325°. One batch made 27 large sized rolls. Great idea! Thanks Leah!
Chicken and Rice by Chana Leah Shem-Tov
Check out Chana Leah's version of my chicken and rice! She used beharat, onion powder, hilba, paprika, turmeric and salt. Beharat is a middle eastern spice mix, typically made of allspice, black peppercorn, cardamom, cloves, coriander, cumin and nutmeg. Hilba is fenugreek. Looks great! Thanks Chana Leah!
