Orange Chicken: A Jewish Tradition

December 23, 2020 by Daniel Peikes Leave a Comment
Orange Chicken

As the end of the year approaches, like any good Jew, my mind turns to one thing: Chinese food. Unlike the rest of my family, I like a little kick in my Chinese food, and the classic Americanized Chinese dish of orange chicken was just the thing to satisfy my craving.  The recipe calls for … [Read more…]

December 6, 2020 by Daniel Peikes 2 Comments
beignets

I love donuts! Lately I have been trying to watch what what I eat, but I love donuts.  And what is Hanukkah (or is it Chanukah) without sufganiyot, the delicious filled donut treats? Jews traditionally eat lots of foods fried in oil on Hanukkah, to commemorate the small flask of oil that was found in … [Read more…]

Peking Duck For Thanksgiving

November 19, 2020 by Daniel Peikes Leave a Comment
Peking Duck

Like many people, it looks like we are going to be a small crowd for Thanksgiving this year, but I still wanted to do something special. I came across a duck on sale at my local grocery store and I figured it would be the perfect thing. Nicer than the average chicken and small enough … [Read more…]

Braised Short Ribs with Apples and A Pomegranate Honey Glaze

September 7, 2020 by Daniel Peikes Leave a Comment
Short Ribs

I love short ribs. I particularly like sticky Asian style short ribs,  although they can be a bit pricey.  As we are going with an Asian theme this year for our first night of  Rosh Hashanah (AKA Jewish New Year) menu, I am springing for the short ribs.  First night of Rosh Hashana is the … [Read more…]

Spicy Thai Basil Chicken Tacos

Spicy Thai Chicken Tacos

Why Thai Rachel and I both started small container gardening this year. Both of us had limited success.  One thing that did grow well for both of us was basil.  We figures why not do a basil ingredient challenge as we both already had it on hand. I grew three types of basil, but my … [Read more…]

Beef and Broccoli(ni) in Brown Sauce

August 3, 2020 by Daniel Peikes Leave a Comment
Beef and Broccoli

Brown Sauce Beef and Broccoli is an (American) Chinese favorite and a dish that my wife adores. Why, you ask? Brown sauce, that umami laden, slightly sweet elixir, that accompanies many Americanized version of Asian style offerings that come in little white pails. Recently, I have had more than one request to come up with … [Read more…]

May 19, 2020 by Daniel Peikes Leave a Comment
Popcorn Chicken

I love popcorn chicken and it is always a hit with the kids. When made right it has a crispy coating with crunchy nooks and crannies. I recently ordered it  from a local place but was severely disappointed.  In this day and age of  delivery and curbside pickup it arrived soggy and cold with a … [Read more…]

April 26, 2020 by Daniel Peikes Leave a Comment
Pit Beef

With a small crowd this Passover I ended up with a quite a bit of leftover grated horseradish. I also had an extra French roast that sat uncooked in my freezer. The first thing that came to mind was roast beef with horseradish sauce, but I wanted to put my own spin on it.  The … [Read more…]
