Kosherfest 2012 Standout New Products
Posted on 25th of November, 2012 by Lévana
Kosherfest in Secaucus was great fun this year. I and quite a few others marveled at how the staff at Kosherfest pulled off the whole show with their hands often tied behind their backs, so soon after Hurricane Sandy, which crippled many warehouses and made transportation a nightmare. Although I...

Posted on 29th of February, 2012 by Lévana
The perennial favorite is based on basil, olive oil, and toasted walnuts; but we have seen it recast with a different herb or nut, and tasting just as delicious and interesting. Use not only as a pasta sauce but as topping for cooked chicken or fish, or a dip. I...

Teryaki Sauce Recipe
Posted on 29th of February, 2012 by Lévana
I live in the vicinity of several Chinese restaurants (who doesn’t?). Every morning I watch the mountain of trash at their back door, and it always includes enormous jerry cans of teriyaki sauce: No wonder all those dishes look like a container of motor oil has accidentally landed there. This...

Preserved Lemons Recipe
Posted on 1st of February, 2012 by Lévana
There is no Moroccan cooking without preserved lemons, and the store-bought variety doesn’t even begin to compare with homemade.

Apple-Chutney Roasted Salmon Recipe
Posted on 6th of October, 2011 by Lévana

Japanese Pickles Recipe
Posted on 15th of August, 2011 by Lévana
You’ll love ’em! They have a small fraction of the salt and the vinegar of their commercial counterparts, and ten times the flavor. Crunchy and pungent with just a hint of sweetness, and really good for you too, like all fermented foods. I whip them out anytime I need a...

My -and Bella’s- Recipe for Charif
Posted on 25th of March, 2011 by Lévana
When life gives you jalapenos, make charif! This past Saturday night, Erev Purim, my daughter Bella complained that she had placed her Shabbos produce order online, and that something got lost in cyber-translation, turning 4 jalapenos and 4 tomatoes into 4 pounds jalapenos and almost 6 pounds plum tomatoes. But...
