[myquote author=”Nigel Savage, March 12, 2015″]We have a very talented pastry chef named Ayala Sherman. This week she baked absolutely the most amazing cookies I’ve eaten in my life. I asked her for the recipe, so I could share them with everyone. If you’re clearing out your chometz in the next week or two – this is a fabulous way to do so…[/myquote]
