Posted on 11th of May, 2012 by Lévana
This past week we went to three BBQs, including last night’s Lag Baomer gig, with our Rabbi, his lovely wife and his delightful children-sous chefs. I wasn’t sure what was harder to resist: The kids or the delicious goodies they were flipping. In one short week I ate as much...

Mango Curry Dressing Recipe
Posted on 9th of May, 2012 by Lévana
This salad dressing is delightful not only over greens, but also with fish or chicken, grilled or poached. The pungent curry is a wonderful foil for the fruity and tart mango. Use only as much dressing as will lightly coat your greens, and include with your greens some diced fresh...

Cholent Jazzed up: Chestnut Mushroom Soup Recipe
Posted on 6th of May, 2012 by Lévana
This shabbos looked like it was going to be another unseasonably chilly day, soup weather. And I had several non-meat eaters coming for lunch. So I made fish for main course, but decided I would make a soup for first course. The result was out of this world, and is...

Mock Zuppa Inglese Recipe
Posted on 2nd of May, 2012 by Lévana
Zuppa Inglese is not a soup at all, but an affectionate take on what the Italians see as a favorite British dessert, closely related to trifle. As always with desserts known as containing too many eggs and too much cream, I cheat and tinker endlessly, as I did here, using...
