Classic Buttery Hamantaschen

Hamantaschen, triangular-shaped cookies stuffed with any of a variety of fillings, are a traditional treat often served during the Jewish holiday Purim. But you can always bake them any time when those cravings hit. They are most often filled with fruit preserves, chocolate, or poppy seed fillings.
The dough is easy to make and yields a rich, buttery, lemon-scented cookie that is full of flavour. It keeps the shape during the baking, as long as you don’t overfill your cookies and your filling has the proper thick texture. Another tip to keep hamantaschen in shape is to CHILL them overnight before baking. You can use any hamantaschen filling you like, poppy filling is our favourite.

Don't underestimate the power of a simple can of beans. Blended with pistachios, parsley, garlic, cumin, olive oil, and lemon, they effectively transform into a creamy, luscious dip. Topped with a vine-ripened cherry tomato salad and sprinkled with dukkah and extra pistachios, this quick and delicious dip makes a simple yet impressive starter or a light lunch.

These airy crunchy fritters are a mix of drained ricotta, blanched almond flour, lemon zest, egg and panko breadcrumbs. They are then fried to beautifully golden and crispy with a tender, fluffy centre, served scattered with some espresso sugar. If desired, serve those delicacies with some extra berry coulis or coffee syrup.

The Asian salad dressing is terrific for all salads, but it pairs particularly well with cucumbers for a spicy, crunchy, and refreshing salad. I like to accordion slice the cucumber for fun, but cut the cucumbers as you prefer. It's gluten-free and keto friendly. If you are looking for a soya-free option, then use tamari or coconut aminos instead.
