My Linzer Tarts

Patti Boker Elkon here, Shira’s partner and contributor on Tchochkes.com.  I send my blessings to this new food blog concept and Cristen it with it’s first article.  You go Shira!

 I just hosted my first annual cookie exchange party, what a great event for holiday fun.  I have always wanted to try this and now that I have I must recommend that you try it too.  It’s a way to entertain with a purpose, the guests make their sweet contribution and the party fulfills the promise of fun for all.  I have a few tips for those of you interested in hosting a party of your own.

I love food. I love eating it, cooking it and all the toys in the kitchen that go along with it. I also have a thing for Yiddish. My first design blog was Tchochkes (small decorative items in the home that need to be dusted.) I wanted to write about food – so now we have Nosh. Ok, technically it’s noshblog.com because nosh.com was taken by a popcorn company.

The site isn’t much to look at right now, but don’t worry – it will get better. The most important thing is that we have some great writers who will be contributing to Nosh so the content will be good while you wait for the site to catch up.

May you have a good appetite.
