Chicken Korma

Like so many people I know, I moved to New York with little more than a suitcase full of big plans. The idea was to survive a year and then to  join my college roommate who was off traveling the world.  I never left - that was a quarter century ago.    To quote my younger daughter I am an “epic fail” when it comes to Manhattan guide book sort of stuff.  She is right.  I visited the Empire State building for the first time ever last week - to attend a party held on the 21st floor.  Admittedly, I am not keen on heights.  Still - pathetic.  Just now I am getting to grips with Brooklyn.  Have appetite will travel!  But when it comes to meeting fantastic people and forming incredible dear friendships - in that I excel.  This collection of recipes comes from Nur Abdullah, a gorgeous lady and fabulous cook, who I first encountered outside the school gate. If Zagats only knew about her food! 30/30.  New York - I do love you.  Nur too.

Zaatar Bread

by Kitchen Repertoire


This week's recipes are courtesy of Yael Kanarek, an inspired artist, passionate cook and all around lovely lady.  We met and bonded over coffee (more on that later) and have not stopped talking food since.  Someday we will write a recipe for homemade Zaatar Bread from start to finish.  Today we are just dressing up some store bought pita and feeling pretty good about it.

Tahini with Raw Carrots, Nuts and Seeds

by Kitchen Repertoire


Tahini comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes.  The very best is imported from Israel and can be found at speciality food stores.  I was instructed to simply buy the "blue one" because it is so delicious.  The shop owner concurred.  Seasoning the Tahini is an art form and all hinges on the proper balance of salt and lemon.  You will know when you get it just right because you instantly stick your finger back in the bowl for more.

Pimm's Cup For The Wimbeldon Set

by Kitchen Repertoire in Mood Lifter


In honor of Wimbeldon opening today, we thought it only appropriate to serve Pimm's.  Pimm's is traditionally served with Borage Flowers.  The farmer's market is running behind this year and there is nary a one to be found.  We made due with a few hot pink Impatients because, well, we were feeling impatient.   Sorry James - sacrilege - we know.
