Shavouot: Some of my Favorites Dairy Creations. All Recipes Included
Posted on 7th of May, 2013 by Lévana
My – usually virtuous enough – students and readers have asked me specifically to go all out for my Shavouot Dishes, starring mostly dairy treats, all those foods we love to hate. “With Cheese!!!”, one of them even emailed me in bold print: You asked for the splurge! The good news...

Lemon Cake Recipe
Posted on 6th of May, 2013 by Lévana
Non-Lemon-Lovers need not apply! This is perfect for brunch but also for dessert, with fruit or sorbet. The baked cake gets soaked all over with a luscious lemon syrup. You are in for a treat! This is a decidedly dairy cake. Sorry, guys! Don’t substitute margarine or oil for the...

Lasagna with Roasted Vegetables Recipe. Gluten-Free-Friendly
Posted on 6th of May, 2013 by Lévana
Lasagna can be made with a variety of fillings (vegetables, tomato sauce, spinach, etc.), all good. Try this no-tomato variation, my favorite. Gluten-free: You should have no trouble finding GF lasagna noodles at your health food store. Instructions: 2 red peppers, diced small 2 large red onions, diced small 3 large...

Cheese Latkas Recipe. Gluten-Free-Friendly
Posted on 29th of November, 2012 by Lévana
I have my mother-in-law to thank for turning me on to cheese latkas, which she used to whip up anytime we tugged at her heartstrings, Chanukkah or not, and often for a light lunch, as they are only very lightly sweetened. With this recipe, your cheese latkas will be...

Cheese Babka Recipe
Posted on 23rd of May, 2012 by Lévana
Let me tell you flat out: You won’t get this treat in any New York Bakery. The ricotta filling is wonderful, but you might prefer to use it in combination with farmer cheese, just as long as you use 2 cups total. This will make you 2 loaves, but here’s...

Mother’s Day Brunch
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...

Caesar’s Salad Recipe
Posted on 21st of January, 2012 by Lévana
If there was ever a time Caesar salad went out of fashion and was eclipsed by a new salad on the block, however briefly, I can’t remember it. The queen, albeit with a king’s name. What is the secret of its enduring popularity? In my opinion, a short but unbeatable...

Caesar’s Dressing Recipe
Posted on 21st of January, 2012 by Lévana
This dressing is much too good to be used only on salad, so go ahead and use it on grilled !sh, or skip the anchovies in the dressing and use it on poached or grilled chicken. Ingredients: 6 anchovies, rinsed 3 tablespoons capers ½ bunch flat-leaf parsley, stems and leaves...

Onion Soup Recipe
Posted on 10th of January, 2012 by Lévana
I always thought I made a good onion soup, if I may say so myself: My original recipe is in my first cookbook, Levana’s Table. But I recently received from my daughter Bella a magnificent wheel of Manchego, and decided to replace all the cheese I usually put in with...

Irish Soda Bread Recipe
Posted on 14th of December, 2011 by Lévana
Irish Soda Bread is a quick bread. It has all the deliciousness of yeasted breads, without yeast, kneading or rising time. Perfect for brunch. I make mine with spelt flour, my favorite flour: low gluten, high fiber, high protein, great flavor! Dairy please. No substitutions here; it won’t be nearly...
