img 14699 1

Hooray—2020 is finally behind us. While the year closed on a personal high note for our family with the arrival of our son Lior (pronounced Lee-or) in late December, it was a difficult and draining year for many of us. As we step into 2021 with hopes for kinder, calmer times, I want to say thank you for reading my blog, cooking along with me, and supporting what I love to do every day. I’m truly grateful.

Putting together a Top 25 recipes list is a fun way to look back and see what resonated most with you. Whether because of the pandemic or in spite of it, people have been cooking more than ever. The following recipes were the most visited according to Google Analytics. Keep in mind that recipes published earlier in the year had more time to attract traffic, so newer posts may be underrepresented—but overall this list reflects what you most enjoyed this year.
