Posted on 5th of May, 2010 by Lévana
International Shavouot Flavors OK guys, we are all allowed cheating once in a great while and pack it in, with dairy as the prime suspect, and today is the day! So don’t go ruin it and say the D word and wipe that smile off anyone’s face: Relax, we get...

A Table of Contents: A Cold Vegetarian-Fish Shabbos Lunch
Posted on 3rd of May, 2010 by Lévana
As often when we host lots of singles, this week I went Shabbos-shopping with a totally open mind. Since I was right in the area of Whole Foods on 97th St and Columbus Ave, I thought to myself, surprise me, and decided my lunch menu will be predicated on my...

Levana Wholesome Spelt Desserts
Posted on 3rd of May, 2010 by Lévana
Promise I don’t want to be coy here: After more than two years of incredibly hard work to get my line of Natural Spelt Desserts in place, it looks like it’s finally happening. They are called, what else, Levana. I made a dry run of the desserts a couple weeks...

Seared Tuna Recipe
Posted on 3rd of May, 2010 by Lévana
No recipe here! I get vacuum-packed frozen sliced tuna, sushi quality, at less than half the price of fresh, which was prohibitively expensive and practically out of the question. Ever since I have discovered vacuum-packed sliced tuna (fish stores, price clubs), I can make it anytime at the drop of...

Mock Crab and Vegetable Nori Recipe
Posted on 3rd of May, 2010 by Lévana
There are times we just can’t make sushi rolls with rice (for instance on shabbos, or anytime when they need to be made in advance). Rice-based sushi is never quite as good after it is refrigerated: The rice tends to harden and get an objectionable tough texture. This is why...

Soba Noodles with Swiss Chard and Shitaki Recipe
Posted on 3rd of May, 2010 by Lévana
Soba noodles are delightful, light and gluten-free. They pack in lots of flavor and nutrition, are delicious and a snap to prepare, a most welcome change from the same old same old pasta. Do try your best to get the seaweed, they will add a funky briny flavor to the...

Minted Tabouleh Recipe
Posted on 3rd of May, 2010 by Lévana
No store-bought Tabouleh comes close to its home-made counterpart. I have made here a gluten-free adaptation, but for the rest of us who have no celiac problems, I am giving you instructions for regular tabouleh as well: No cooking necessary for the grain! Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa, thoroughly rinsed and...

Endive, Pear, Avocado and Walnut Salad Recipe
Posted on 3rd of May, 2010 by Lévana
Endives are wonderful in this salad. The dish is very easily adapted for Passover, and is equally at home as a salad or a side dish with grilled fish or chicken. We all notice walnut oil, which is an expensive treat year-round, is plentiful and reasonably priced during Passover: Go...

Eggplant Salad Japanese Style Recipe
Posted on 3rd of May, 2010 by Lévana
This dish is equally at home as a salad and as a side dish. I never submit to the tyranny of frying eggplant, which is not only time consuming, but gobbles up lots of oil. I have included a mushroom-eggplant combo, using exactly the same recipe, but throwing in small...
