    Tori, just wanted to say thank you so much for your recipes. I first discovered your dairy-free hamantaschen recipe–I think it was last Purim–and loved it! My old recipe always produced dough that was too sticky and hard to roll/work with. I have now switched to your recipe!

    Today, I made latkes for my daughter’s first grade class using your classic latkes recipe. I have never successfully made a latke that didn’t fall apart, and with your recipe, they came out perfectly! I was thrilled! Jewish mother achievement unlocked!
