Parsley Matzo Balls
Jewish cooking expert Leah Koenig never met a matzo ball she didn’t like. Hers are tender and fluffy, thanks to the glug of seltzer in the batter.
Grapefruit and Meyer Lemon Bundt Cake
Most citrusy pound cakes use just the zest and juice to flavor their crumb, but this citrus lover’s cake is particularly flavorful because it utilizes grapefruit and Meyer lemon zest, juice, and flesh. The bits of whole fruit in this beautiful bundt cake are folded into the cake and turn into little jammy pockets that, when baked, are just tart enough balance out the thick coating of sweet, zesty glaze.
