Jamie Geller's Famous Challah Recipe

#5...Jamie Geller's Famous Challah Recipe

2021 has been another crazy year, full of challenges and changes yet again.  Last year at this time most of us were in and out of lockdowns and hoping the coming vaccine would change things quickly.  Not so fast, we learned new variants can break through the vaccine and thus began a year of learning to live with uncertainty.

Many of us were able to travel and see family again, but nothing is a sure thing, except our recipes!  So without further ado here is our top 21 recipes from 2021.  

Yes, challah will always be on our list.

Crispiest Classic French Fries

Homemade fresh potato french fries are worth the extra effort compared to the frozen version and takeout fries are never the same as hot and fresh. 

#18

Jerusalem Bagel

These traditional Jerusalem street food bagels may not be like the NY boiled bagel you are used to, but they are a new/old favorite!

#17

Caramelized Onion Spaghetti Squash Casserole

One of our all-time favorite recipes, this dairy free casserole is a true crowd pleaser.  

#16

Cheese Blintz Souffle

 Blintzes are classic in the Jewish cooking world and every chef has his or her own version of this souffle. You really can’t go wrong with all that butter, cream, sugar and eggs. 

#15

Matzo Balls

Matzo balls are one of our most watched videos from people all over the world looking to make this traditional Jewish classic. 

#14

Hasselback Salami

No surprise that a salami covered in sticky sweet sauce and roasted to crisp pull apart slices made the cut. I mean…

#13

Family Heirloom Cholent

This recipe used to be top secret. My husband made it for Shabbat every week and he never divulged the details, even to me! 

#12

Duck Sauce Chicken

This is my famous Duck Sauce Chicken. I’ve literally gotten calls and numerous requests for the exact “recipe.”  

#11

Crispy Rainbow Trout

This was my grandfather’s recipe. We used to beg him for this delicacy every time we’d go to his house for lunch. One day I arrived early and actually caught him cooking his famous trout. 

#10

Sufganiyot in a Bag

Shows how easy sufganiyot (Jewish filled doughnuts) can be. 

#9

Broccoli Kugel

The combination of vegetables, herbs, and oats makes for a healthy and tasty kugel. It is low in calories and high in nutrients. 

#8

Potato Kugel Cups

The best part about them is that every piece is a crusty corner piece, so nobody has to fight over that coveted crunch. 

#7

Easy Oven Baked Beef Ribs

When it’s too cold to go outside or you don’t have an outside you can still make incredible ribs in your oven. 

#6 

Overnight Brisket

This recipe was an instant hit and it just keeps getting more love. Do you think it’s waking up to the smell of a fully cooked brisket that is making it so popular?

#5

Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar Dipping Sauce

Don’t you just love the way the balsamic sits it he olive oil with little droplets and not to mention the taste of this dip for your homemade bread. 

#4

Non-Alcoholic Margaritas

 Alcohol-free for all ages to enjoy!  More people also made cocktails at home this year as bars closed or as people tried to avoid the crowds, this way they can make it exactly as they like, with or without alcohol.  

#3

Jamie’s Challah Recipe

Classic. No fail. Everything you want in challah. It does call for 6 pounds of flour though, so that’s when the next recipe gets brought in.  

#2

Lazy Cooks Challah in a Bag

Coming in at number 2 is our most popular video, the easy, less mess challah that is made in a bag. 

#1

Shoulder Roast with Garlic & Herbs
