Posted on 14th of November, 2011 by Lévana
Would it make me sound like a dinosaur if I said I remember early Kosherfest shows taking place, ages ago, with flocks of young mothers pushing strollers and turning the show into a giant lunch break in an industrial playground? Then the show moved to Javitz Center sans strollers, then...

Black Bean Burritos Recipe
Posted on 28th of May, 2011 by Lévana
I whip up my BBB recipe, as I call it, whenever company is coming on short notice. If I don’t have the burritos or corn tortillas on hand, I simply put the filling in a bowl, and let everyone dig in, with corn chips and guacamole. Chocolate, beans and beer....
