This slaw is summer in a bowl – bright, juicy mango, crunchy cabbage, fresh herbs, and a zesty citrus dressing. I discovered it years ago when I was collecting recipes for a cookbook in honor of my mother’s 70th birthday, and my cousin Shulamis submitted this recipe. I love the colorful crunch and fun tropical twist. 

Light and colorful, it’s just as happy piled onto BBQ chicken as it is served for Shabbat lunch, pairing effortlessly with almost anything and bursting with fresh, tangy flavor.

Yields 6 servings.

Ingredients: 

800 gr. purple cabbage, shredded 

4 scallions, thinly sliced

1 chilled mango, peeled and sliced

½ cup roasted slivered almonds

1 Tbsp. grated lemon zest

Dressing:

¼ cup olive oil

¼ cup orange juice

1 or 2 Tbsp. honey (to taste)

½ tsp. salt

Dash of pepper

Directions:

Peel the chilled mango with a vegetable peeler, then shred, grate, or slice it into thin strips and place in a large bowl. Add the shredded cabbage, scallions, and lemon zest. 

For the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust the honey or orange juice to your liking. Refrigerate until ready to serve. 

Just before serving, add the roasted slivered almonds to the salad, pour on the dressing, and toss well.


Enjoy!

Quiches are the perfect dairy addition to any meal, or they stand on their own for breakfast or lunch. These are quick to make and freeze well, so you can prep ahead of time to grab and go. Use any of the fillings that you desire, or create your own. Quiches are so versatile! 

Yields 12-16 mini quiches.

Ingredients:

For the base:

6 eggs

1 cup whole milk

1/3 cup cornstarch

1 tsp. salt 

¼ tsp. pepper

1 cup grated cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan for topping

Filling ideas:

Choose one filling or combine two options. Aim for about 2 cups total of your preferred filling(s).• 

SautΓ©ed onions and mushrooms• 

Grated zucchini with diced peppers• 

Diced shallots or scallions with diced broccoli florets

Tip: If using vegetables with a high water content like zucchini, give them a quick squeeze in a towel after grating to avoid soggy quiches.

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease a muffin tin well or insert paper liners. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cornstarch, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in the grated cheese and your chosen filling(s).If you’re making two types of quiches, divide the batter evenly between two bowls and stir 1 cup of filling into each. Then pour into separate sections of your muffin tin.

Pour the mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ of the way. Sprinkle Parmesan on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Let cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.



Enjoy!

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Fish sticks

Fish sticks

By Henny Shor, Jerusalem Post, July 26, 2025

Fish sticks bring back summer childhood memories of lunchtime in our little bungalow, when my mom would serve them during lunch break from day camp. There’s something about that crispy coating and tender, flaky white fish inside that makes both kids and adults smile. These easy finger foods are just as good now as they were back then. You can bake them with a quick spray of oil, but if you ask me, frying is the way to go.

Yields 4 servings.

Ingredients:

500 gr. white fish, cut into strips

1 cup flour (gluten-free option)

1 cup breadcrumbs or cornflakes crumbs

3 eggs, beaten

1 tsp. salt (divided)

1 tsp. paprika

Pinch of black pepper

1 lemon

Directions:

Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with ½ tsp. salt; one with beaten eggs and the other ½ tsp. salt; and the third with breadcrumbs mixed with paprika and black pepper.

Pat the fish dry, then dredge each piece in flour, dip into the egg, and coat well in the seasoned crumbs.

To bake: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with oil. Place fish sticks on the tray, spray the tops, and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.

To fry: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry fish sticks in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.Squeeze lemon juice over the fish sticks just before serving. They pair great with a simple lemon mayo dip or ketchup on the side.



Enjoy!
