My grandmother’s hamantaschen recipe gets the attention it deserves in today’s
New York Times food blog, Bitten.
The recipe isn’t exactly in keeping with my views on healthy eating, but at least it contains very little sugar or oil, and more prune than anything else. Besides, delicious and traditional treats are worth making an exception now and then. Someday I’ll try a gluten-free version and I’ll test my grandmother’s insistence that butter won’t work for the dough. Just don’t tell her; she’d kill me.
A quick update on this site: I’ve been taking a break from it, but things will be back up and rolling again soon. Thanks to the readers who have emailed me kind thoughts and concerns. More recipes, nutrition information, and thoughts on local, seasonal food for springtime coming soon...
