Shabbat Menu - Grilled Marinated London Broil

Even Manna get's boring. In this week’s parsha, the false memory of an Egyptian bounty of fish, cucumbers, watermelons, leeks, onions and garlic leads the people to beg for meat instead of manna. ...

Easy Homemade Croutons For Salad

You know I'm not a from-scratch girl. More like a semi-homemade woman. I take lots of shortcuts (in the kitchen and in life) but one thing I loathe is store-bought croutons. No croutons out of a bag for me! ...

Red Potatoes with Basil and Chives

I’m not a potato salad kind of gal. Well at least I wasn’t until I discovered an oil based (not mayo) potato salad. It can be served warm or cold and doesn’t leave you with that heavy feeling. The basil and chives really brighten the dish and make it flavorful and fresh! Reminiscent of a potato salad I made in my non-kosher culinary school, you can throw some crispy smoked beef “bacon” in this salad and really amp up the flavor and add a great crunch!

About Ali

My name is Alison Barnett and I started Alibabka in 2011 to blog about my passion for the culinary arts. The results have been amazing, averaging a few hundred hits a day! I am a recent graduate from The Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in New York City I work full time at a non-profit and Intern part time at Solo Restaruant in NYC. One of the things that makes me different than most of the other students in culinary school is that I am an Observant Jew and keep the laws of Kashrut. Graduating from ICE is proof that observant Jews can do whatever they are passionate and still strictly uphold Rabbinic Law. Keeping kosher in the culinary world has pushed me to be extremely creative by substituting ingredients and coming up with new takes on classic dishes. I hope that this blog inspires people of all different religious and cultural backgrounds to pursue their dreams and know that they never have to compromise their own belief system to do what they love. I love sharing my ideas, thoughts, recipes, and experiences about cooking. I believe that anyone can cook with a little direction, the right tools, and a whole lot of patience.
