Tropical Fruit Cake Recipe
Posted on 29th of July, 2010 by Lévana
Sometimes I take my playing with food a drop further than even I myself dare, tinkering endlessly, picking my family and friends as willing victims as I subject them to constantly evolving batches and asking them to please forget they ever tasted something if it was just way too wacky....

Tilapia Niçoise en Papillotte Recipe
Posted on 21st of July, 2010 by Lévana
A packaged meal. Only, not that kind of a package! Enclosing the fish and its toppings in foil or wax paper seals in all its flavors. Papillotte is a cute French word that means curl, flutter, blink. In the food world it refers to the frill that tented paper forms...

Posted on 16th of July, 2010 by Lévana
Recently I said to Sara, who helps me and tutors me in all things technical, I should have more of a profile on Facebook. My list of friends was expanding, G-d bless, and so it would be a nice idea. So we edited the profile to include my status (married)...

NYC Hick Goes out to Queens
Posted on 16th of July, 2010 by Lévana
I have been living in the United States almost two generations. I have lived in an apartment structure my whole life, in big cities only: Casablanca, Paris New York, etc…. you get the picture. I am a complete city mouse, don’t drive, and cannot conceive of any viable setting where...

Spicy Steel-Cut Oat Soup (Lahshou) Recipe
Posted on 16th of July, 2010 by Lévana
This is a most unusual combination of flavors, and it works beautifully. We serve it after the fast of Tish’a B’Av. When we were children, we were often given this soup to fortify our diet. We made it with wheat or barley, but steel-cut oats are just as delicious, accommodate...

Posted on 8th of July, 2010 by Lévana
Do you notice, as I do, some people madly gorging on meat dishes just before the nine days in prevision of the impending culinary “recession”? Since meatless is the way we eat at home most of the time except on Shabbos, let me assure you you will hardly feel deprived;...

Mock Crab Pasta Salad Recipe
Posted on 8th of July, 2010 by Lévana
Several of my favorite summer flavors are in! The only cooking that goes on in this dish is boiling water to soak the pasta. Although it is delicious with rice noodles, if you are a diehard wheat pasta lover, simply substitute your favorite pasta for the rice noodles, and proceed...
