Thanks for pointing out "moments of light" in our dark times, Leah. It's hard to see and read about so much horror without finding reasons to hope that things can be made better and that we might play a part. I enjoyed reading about Devra and learning about this book of recipes and personal essays--and the pashtida does look yummy!
Thank you for this heartfelt statement, Leah, and for the salute to The Jewish Holiday Table. We're celebrating the book with Naama in Maine very soon and I'm so looking forward to it. But my best takeaway from your interview with Devra was this: "You can’t separate grammy from her gravlax." I'll buy the book if only for Grammy's Gravlax recipe--but lots of other delights too.
This is a stellar recipe! And so, so easy to make. It's also extremely forgiving! I didn't have quite enough yogurt so swapped in some sour cream and I made up for a slight zucchini deficit with leftover potatoes from a salad nicoise. You can't go wrong! This is going straight into the regular summer rotation.
Leah, I appreciate your insight and heart so much. Thank you.
Thank YOU April! Shabbat shalom.

Thanks Ruth! The kindness of folks in this community is definitely another point of light. :)
Goodness me this looks delicious
I hope you have the chance to make it - it's delightful!

Thank you Nancy! And agreed - grammy and her gravlax is such an incredible sentiment. :)
Thank you for your compassionate and inclusive newsletter. I will be making the zucchini pashtida when the zucchini is ready.
Thank you! And let me know how the pashtida turns out. I've made it several times already and it never misses.
I will!
Lovely post - the bad, the good, and the delicious. 😘
Thank you Beth. xx

I'm glad you love it - I do too!
