carrot and celery matchstickmaker

November 5, 2013 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

When I was growing up a dish of  carrot sticks and a dish of  celery sticks with a dip in between was offered before dinner almost every night. For breakfast, cut them thin and mix together: it is a match made in heaven! And you can lose the dip.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

Just a quick note to say K is really enjoying your class. He was excited to make the sushi and the falafel the previous week was awesome- we have been trying (unsuccessfully) for years to get him to eat falafel and so hearing him say he likes falafel now was a breakthrough for us!  Thanks!
