Salmon with Pomegranate Sauce Recipe
Posted on 20th of September, 2011 by Lévana
Sweet-and-sour combinations work beautifully with salmon. The onions caramelize and contribute a sweet counterpoint to the vinegar.

Brussels Sprouts and Zucchini in Tomato Sauce Recipe. Pasta Adaptation
Posted on 20th of September, 2011 by Lévana
Mediterranean flavors at their best. A frequent Passover treat at my table. I find brussels sprouts somewhat underrated and underused in our country. They are much more exciting than they sound, and much less innocent than they look; and their pungent bite provides a nice counterpoint to the mildness of...
