Falafel First

Began eating falafel and tabouleh at age 7. Blame it on my mama. I love falafels and especially tahini.

White Chocolate and Cinnamon Babka?

JEP
This is the baker at ShoeBox Oven. Just wanted to let you know that babka is perfect for mail-order. Maybe it is all the sugar and chocolate, but babka is rather resilient. But even so, ShoeBox Oven bakes and mails orders within the same day, using priority mail (2 to 3 days, usually two) and Next Day mail. It also freezes well. So if you cant finish the 3 lbs of babka in one-sitting, then you could always freeze and save it for later.

Dominic:
I found the recipe to have some glaring errors as well. But I dont think this has to do with Glazer's recipe, but perhaps the person who edited it for the web. You could always use your favorite danish dough recipe, minus a few ounces of butter and with babka you do not have to do the turn and folds like you'd have to do for a danish dough. And you are right about that rise. You need to let that dough rise in its own time. But it is worth the wait.

Falafel First

I can't remember the first time I had falafel, but I definitely fell in love with it at Oasis Falafel in Iowa City, IA. If anyone is driving through the area, it's definitely worth a stop!

Falafel First

I was 9 and visiting Israel for the first time. I hated it then and I'm still not too fond of it! Maybe one day I will come around :)

Falafel First

I remember my first time very well. I was at my good friends house one day after school and she made falafel. I had never even heard of it before, but I liked it. I was about 15, and I've been eating it ever since!
