Most of you know by now that I’ve partnered with Zabar’s, New York’s landmark gourmet superstore on the Upper West Side. I’m thrilled about being a part of the Zabar’s team, it is a truly special place with a fascinating history.

“If you have not tried the Benedetto Cavalieri pasta from Zabar’s, you have not tried real pasta! This stuff straight from Puglia, is pasta perfection. I go for the elbow shapes every time!”

I love Zabar’s kosher cheese selection! I live in Chicago, and when I am in NYC, I stop by Zabar’s on the Upper West Side to stock up on tons of cheese (including a wedge of parmesano-reggiano, which gives me a great excuse to host a dairy Shabbat meal immediately upon returning to Chicago)! Oh, how I love Zabar’s.
Oh, I havent had Rugelach in years. *wistful sigh*

The Scotch Cured Salmon…is the best!!!

I have never tried Zabar’s which is why I should win!!!!!!!!!
Everything at Zabar’s is amazing, but my very favorite thing is the homemade raisin rugelach. I get tears in my eyes every time–they taste just like my bubby’s!
