You are great and your recipes are not complicated at all. I would like to have a recipe for Sugar Paste with kosher gelatine or flower paste. That will be really good if you can put it on the website so that everyone who is interested in making the sugar or flower paste can enjoy it as I will. Most recipes now are using leaf gelatine and they are not kosher therefore I need to use gelatine and if you could advise which one would be better to use. I live in Australia and I want to be able to find the gelatine. The other gelatine advised to me was Agar Agar but again I do not know the qualities used. Thanking you
Your site looks informative and fun. I can’t wait to begin.
Thanks for reading!!!
Where do I find an apron like yours?

Darling Amy…Jew are not kidding, I am looking forward to making my own lox this weekend, no more purchasing the overpriced measly pittance sold at the market, I’m going for the real thing thank to you and Bubbe.
Ha enjoy it!!
I sure wish someone would realize that we need to be able to buy a decent bagel in Georgetown!!! We cannot.
Hi Amy. Love your site. Finally a food blog in Mama Lukshen, I mean: Mama Loshen. 🙂
Aw thank you!
I’m 78 years old, born and raised Jewish, and chicken livers were NEVER used for chopped liver by either my maternal or paternal side of the family. 1) They’re so small it takes a helluva lot to make enough chopped liver for the family even if it’s just an appetizer. 2) Not all that many stores sell them so you may find they’re harder to acquire than you thought. 3) The result is more mushy pate than chopped liver. 4) Very often the chicken livers are bitter and you definitely do not want bitter chopped liver. That’s why the best chopped liver is made from beef liver, at least in my opinion and the opinion of my entire family all my life. However, whatever liver you use, you definitely need plenty of gribenes (cracklings made from chicken skin) and carmelized onions. Most important, of course, is schmaltz (rendered duck, goose, and/or chicken fat) but that can now be found in the freezer section of many supermarkets.
Sounds like you need to try my 92 year old Bubbe’s chopped chicken liver. It’s the best! Never bitter. But thanks for your opinion!
If I were 40 years younger, I’d ask you to marry me – but I’m not, so I won’t
Yacob,I’m not Jewish,but hey,get in the queue !! 😁
I’m female, straight, and married, but Queen Amy of Balebuste is crazy adorable! I’m sure there are more than two nice Jewish boys (& girls) in line with you!
Amy, glad I found you. I never knew my grandparents they were sent from Poland as children to relatives in the US to survive the Holocaust. But I have my great grandmothers Star of David and Lamb. I was told they are both solid gold by a jeweler. I love your personality and spirit.
Wow! Thank you for reading and sharing your story.

I am not sure what you mean! You do not have to sign in to access recipes.
I make vegetarian chopped liver and love it. As a matter of fact, I made it last week and something didn’t taste quite right. I had used YELLOW onions. In your recipe it asks for white onions. What is the difference? How long can we keep it in the fridge? Next
time I make it will use white onions. Thanks….. Aileen….
White onions are naturally sweeter and milder, so that may have made the difference. I would keep it up to 5 days.
What about trying shallots?
Hi! I found your blog in my search for recipe ideas for my lovely new 95+ eldercare client. She isn’t picky about eating the S.A.D. that the caregivers have been feeding her, but on MY WATCH, I want her to enjoy some traditional Jewish fare that is made from scratch and made with LOVE… I, personally, am mostly raw vegan and very health-conscious, but I am more than willing to prepare food that nourishes her SOUL as well as her body, even if that means preparing meaty cholent in my kitchen on Friday and toting the crockpot to her house for her Shabbat dinner. I’m with her from 8:00 A.M. Saturday until 10:00 P.M. Sunday, and I’d love any ideas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I love your style!
Thanks so much! You can’t go wrong with matzah ball soup. I’d eat it for every meal and it’s nourishing too. I always love blintzes, kugel, matzo brei and chopped liver too. I do have a vegan chopped liver recipe on my blog! Though it’s not raw.
What a great blog! I love your sense of humor. So refreshing and your recipes are great!
Thanks so much!
