Cheese Borek Ready Time: 1 Hr 30 Min "The usual filling is feta cheese; this version calls for smoked Gouda and Emmenthal. If you have never worked with phyllo before, know that it is very fragile and must be kept covered or it will dry out very quickly. This is labor-intensive, but worth it. I like to divide the filling ahead of time into 48 equal little portions to ensure that all the borek are uniform in size. This may be made a day before they are baked, and stored covered in the refrigerator."

Drunken Stuffed Figs Ready Time: 45 Min "This has been a hit at many dinner parties. Figs are stuffed with a creamy, rich mascarpone cheese and cognac mixture, then rolled in toasted hazelnuts. Garnish with whole hazelnuts and mint leaves when serving. If an injector is unavailable, marinate the figs in 1/2 cup cognac for approximately 30 minutes."

Dulcia Domestica Ready Time: 25 Min "This dish of dates stuffed with chopped nuts is a 'home style treat' that was once savored in ancient Rome. You can replace the pine nuts with almonds if you prefer."

Knishes Ready Time: 1 Hr 45 Min "These small potato stuffed turnovers will have mouths watering before they're even out of the oven!

She made them for Hanukkah, but being Christian we make them for Christmas dinner! Time consuming but SO worth it!"

Mock Chopped Liver Ready Time: 2 Hrs 35 Min "Mock chopped liver in this recipe is made out of lentils. This dish tastes just like the real thing without the cholesterol of real liver! Serve mounded on a platter with crackers."
