As someone who loves pie but doesn’t love pie-baking, I’m obsessed with the galette. It’s one crust to roll out, it doesn’t take as long to bake, and it’s completely unfussy. So my dough’s not perfectly round. So my filling reduced too much and I

If you grew up eating matzo brei, you most definitely know how you like it and no one is going to change your mind. It’s one of those ubiquitous Ashkenazi dishes that varies from family to family, and it’s really fun to argue about whose
