Healthy Broccoli Chicken Casserole

I am on the east coast staying at my brother David's. I made this Broccoli Chicken Casserole, which seemed a little too healthy, but it ended up being really delicious and satisfying. The secret ingredient is sliced water chestnuts, which add a lot of crunchy texture.

Venetian Carrot Cake

This Venetian Carrot Cake is thought to originate with Venetian Jews in the original ghetto. Established in 1516, the Venetian Ghetto was the first enforced Jewish ghetto in Europe. The word "ghetto" itself comes from the Venetian word for the area, which previously housed metal foundries. Jews were forced to reside within the designated area, separated from the rest of Venice by canals and only accessible through two bridges with restricted opening hours.

This cake is quite different from the American version. It's denser, uses olive oil instead of butter (making it potentially kosher for meals with meat), and lacks the cream cheese frosting. Oh, it also has the added bonus of being gluten-free.

My favorite Nigella-ism in the instructions — “I use my freestanding mixer, but it wouldn't be much of a faff by hand”. Faffing is one of my favorite British terms, which basically means - To spend time doing unimportant things instead of focusing on the main task.

Grilled Citrusy Marinated Tri-Tip

Grilled Citrusy Marinated Tri-Tip is very flavorful. Marinating the beef in this citrusy mixture helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with bright, zesty flavors. Tri-tip is much easier to find in states on the West Coast, particularly California where it's a popular cut. It can be trickier to find on the East Coast. Butchers can cut the same section of beef (the bottom sirloin) in different ways. On the West Coast, they often separate a triangular portion as a Tri-Tip, while East Coast butchers might incorporate it into roasts, steaks (called sirloin cap or sirloin tip), or even ground beef. My theory is that Tri-Tip is almost always grilled and we tend to grill year-round on the West Coast.

Potatoes Anna (Pommes Anna)

Potatoes Anna, or Pommes Anna, is a French dish featuring thinly sliced potatoes, bathed in butter and baked to crispy perfection. Its history goes back to mid-19th century Paris. The dish is credited to chef Adolphe Dugléré, who worked at the famed Café Anglais, a leading Parisian restaurant during the reign of Napoleon III. There's some debate about who the "Anna" in the name refers to. Popular theories suggest it could be: Anna Deslions, a well-known Parisian courtesan and a regular at Café Anglais, or Anna Judic, a famous actress of the time. Who knows! Praised for its simplicity and deliciousness, Pommes Anna remains a classic French side dish.

Noodle Kugel with Caramelized Onions & Brown Butter

Our dear friend Liz passed away after a long battle with cancer. She was an amazing woman and a big part of our family's life. After the service, we went to her home to sit Shiva, which literally means “seven” – a period of seven days when a Jewish family has a formal mourning time to honor their loved one. It was a beautiful service and day, in which we shared many stories about our friend Liz. I brought this Noodle Kugel with Caramelized Onions & Brown Butter. I have made kugels before, but I think this will forever be my go-to recipe. Yehi Zichrah Baruch - May her memory be a blessing.
