2. Shawarma Meat Pizza by Sina Mizrahi

I love Tuscanini’s new line of Italian breads, and this pizza crust is the most convenient way to serve a pie. Here I topped it with shawarma-spiced ground meat and a good drizzle of techina. It’s a Middle Eastern twist on the Italian classic. Enjoy!

3. Harissa Roasted Cauliflower by Shifra Klein

Cauliflower roasted with tomatoes, tahini and harissa sauce is a flavorful and vibrant dish that combines spicy, tangy and creamy elements. The harissa is inspired by Paris’ large Tunisian influence.

4. Two Tone Cabbage Salad from the Dining In Cookbook

A special occasion alternative to coleslaw salad.   You might also like this Exotic Cabbage Salad, with less sugar.

5. Salted Caramel Latte Hamantashen by Shifra Klein

We originally used chopped chocolate for this recipe, but after further testing, we experimented with a salted caramel ganache—and the results were outstanding. We highly recommend taking the extra few minutes to make this ganache; it truly elevates each bite.

For a fun twist on flavor and appearance, try adding instant espresso powder or instant coffee to the dough. Espresso powder dissolves quickly, creating a striking coffee-marbled effect, while instant coffee takes a bit longer to melt. Simply cover the dough and let it rest for five minutes, then knead it gently to achieve a beautiful swirl. Enjoy!

6. Egg Free Chocolate Mousse by Sarah Berg

There’s nothing like a heavenly chocolate mousse to end your Purim Seudah. This is both egg and soy free and tastes delicious too.
