Purim: Carnivals, Cookies and Candy

I am not sure how many of you read NPR’s weekly Kitchen Window column, but if you do, you might have already seen a familiar name. I wrote this week’s column and it just went up today. If you are interested, you can check it out here.

 

 

It is about Purim and includes two recipes: one for fig and ginger hamantaschen and another for poppy seed ginger candy. It was pretty fun waking up this morning and seeing one of my cookies on the homepage for NPR!

  11. Congratulations! I just found your blog a few days ago when I was googling for a hamentaschen recipe – what a surprise to see the one I was going to make linked to on NPR! I’ve only been reading for a short time so far, but I’m already a big fan. I have a recipe blog too – check it out at
