How A Ruggelah Brought Me Back Home
As a Los Angeles native, raised by a Russian Jewish Bubbie, one bite of your ruggelah took me back to her kitchen and in heaven! My kids and I live in the Bay Area now after leaving Westlake Village and there are NO Jewish delis, as we know them, in the Bay Area so anytime any one of us is in LA, it is mandatory that you bring something delicious home! My daughter was at the Calabasas Farmer’s Market last Saturday and knew I’d love your ruggelah! AND I DID! It actually tasted like my Bubbie’s schdruddle, the filling was to die for!!! I do hope you’ve been to Brent’s Deli in Westlake or Northridge and asked owner, Ronnie Peskin, or his son, Brent, to taste your baked goods...Ronnie is an old high school friend and if you want someone to put in a good word, let me know! OR, if I can be of any help as a salesperson in the Bay Area to sell your goods, I’m on it! I’ve been in sales for over 30, years, worked in the Jewish community up here for 20, and I think you’d be a huge hit! So if you need or want a rep, I’m a Jewish mother who only wants everyone to enjoy! Best regards and don’t stop baking!!! Too many of our traditions are going by the way-side!! My kingdom for Bubbie’s blintzes, knishes and borscht!!!
Sincerely,
Sandy Taradash
Doncha just hate it when dessert people get all uppity, and try to add all the wangdoodles, hornswogglers, snozzwangers, and vermicious knids they can shake a stick at? The "product" ends up being something you don't even recognize, much less want to try!
Well with A Little Nosh, they make sweet and deliciously comforting desserts, and they DO IT RIGHT!!! I crept on them at the Brentwood Farmer's Market, a market much better than Santa Monica Blvd./Purdue, but not as good as Main Street, and fell in love.
I got chocolate ruggelah and chocolate cinnamon mandel bread, the cornerstone of Jewish desserts :) They were just like my grandmothers used to make, and priced perfectly. For $5 I got a huge back of ruggelah that I shared with a few friends and my parents, and STILL had leftovers, which I donated to the Hungry Coworkers Fund.
I love A Little Nosh, and you will too. And if you don't, then you're full of meshugenah!

I have ordered and eaten pretty much everything that A Little Nosh bakes -- from the amazing mandelbrot to the unbelievable dark chocolate chip cake and I can safely say that these are my favorite sweets available anywhere.
Do yourself a favor and order some desserts immediately. You will not regret it.

"a little nosh" provided the most perfectly sweet party favors for my daughter's baby shower. The theme focused on "sugar and spice" since my daughter is having a girl. Cindy came up with the perfect confection to complement the theme---her fantastic cinnamon & sugar mandlebrot with chocolate chips. Each lovely bow wrapped package contained 8 large mandlebrot cookie bars with a generous sprinkling of sugar and cinnamon. The hostess added a decorative tag on the bag that had the famous poem, What are little girls made of? Sugar & spice & all that's nice, That's what little girls are made of!
It made a delicious takeaway for the guests and great party favor for the occasion. Cindy is very helpful and quickly responds to your needs and offers ideas. Cindy, thank you so much for your participation in making this fun event.

I am a regular at the Brentwood Sunday Farmers Market, where I see Cindy and her amazing cakes, cookies and treats each week. I am continuously blown away by how delicious these are. Cindy, you are a genius! I think these are the best desserts I have ever eaten. I am usually not a carrot cake fan, but the ones from A Little Nosh are just exceptional, and demonstrate the baker's skill. The chocolate chip cookies are unique and exceptional, managing to be unbelievably moist with the perfect amount of chewiness. Cindy is modest, sweet and rightfully proud of her desserts. Try this out to experience the best baked goods in all of LA. A total gem.
