For almost twenty years, we at Levana Restaurant hosted, indeed pioneered, annual wine pairing dinners. Magnificent dishes, with wines to match them in full measure. The memory I keep from the first of those glorious feasts is something very inconvenient I have yet to live down and turn into a fond memory. At that dinner [...]

One of my favorites! All of you out there always asking how we turn a same old, same old salad into an exciting main course salad: You can glorify it even further by throwing in some leftover diced fish or chicken, or make it dairy, and throw in some crumbled feta. I love the [...]

My sister Lea’s galettes: Hers the best, even my mother agrees! Galettes were a staple at my house in Morocco, and still are at my mother’s house, where all children clamor for them, calling them Maman Biscuit (they lump all her baked goods into this one generic word: biscuit), submitting to the touching drama that [...]

A little more dicing than I like my dishes to involve, but I think you will find it well worth it. Plum tomatoes are perfectly suited for cooking, as they have little juice and lots of flesh. I love to serve ratatouille at picnics, or at summer shabbos meals as it lends itself perfectly to [...]

When my son Yakov was a little schoolboy, he would always gush about Eagle Day Camp Baked beans. You must get the recipe, he would always ask. I did call the camp and they were happy to oblige: Heinz cans, reheated. I am happy to report that even my son’s tastes have evolved, and now [...]
