Makrod: Semolina Date Pastry Recipe. Gluten-Free Friendly
Posted on 22nd of April, 2010 by Lévana
I have always rather neglected this wonderful treat, as the traditional preparation requires frying, my nemesis: I don’t think I have more than a handful of fried dishes in my whole repertoire. But I tweaked the recipe to do my bidding as a baked, not fried, treat, and the result...

Banana Chocolate Chip Cake Recipe
Posted on 16th of April, 2010 by Lévana
Children adore it, and of course so will you. Bananas got too ripe? Don’t even think of chucking them, as they make the greatest smoothies, muffins and cakes, their flavor reaching their sweetest and most intense peak! The riper the better: freeze them, and when ready to use run them...

Vegan Chocolate Espresso Mousse Recipe
Posted on 9th of April, 2010 by Lévana
Ridiculously simple and incredibly delicious: I whip it up in minutes. Who would believe it has no eggs and no cream and tastes so rich? No trace of the tofu’s controversial heritage, it’s all eclipsed by the other wonderful flavors! Tofu contributes only its bulk and great texture. My daughter...

Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce Recipe
Posted on 19th of March, 2010 by Lévana
This sauce is thick and dense, a self-contained dessert, more like a new-age jell-o (whatever you do, don’t call it that!) Dare I share the name we give this delightful sauce in my house? OK, but please don’t tell on me: I don’t want anyone saying Bubbie has a naughty...

Molten Chocolate Cake Recipe
Posted on 19th of March, 2010 by Lévana
If there is anyone who doesn’t go gaga over these little gems with the runny gooey centers, I have never met them! Alas, no baking in advance and no reheating, or they won’t be, well, molten chocolate cake: runny and gooey! The great news is, (a) they are nothing to...

Chocolate Beet Coconut Cake Recipe
Posted on 19th of March, 2010 by Lévana
It is unfortunate that in America, beets invariably conjure up pointed remarks about, ummm, never mind! We grew up eating them every day, and yes for pleasure not duty! I am always looking for ways to sneak them in, as in this cake, where they do their magic even while...

Almond Wine Cake Recipe
Posted on 19th of March, 2010 by Lévana
This is one of my favorite Passover cakes. As much as I would like to make my life easier by minimizing Passover preparations, I have never had the heart to buy pre-made desserts. The ingredients in this cake are assertive and deliciously fragrant. You will want to make it all...

No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Recipe
Posted on 17th of March, 2010 by Lévana
This star was born very recently, right in my kitchen, as I was trying to make an off-the-cuff chocolate dessert on a crazy hot day, using what I had on hand without having to turn my oven on. Let’s see…. Chocolate, cocoa powder, silken tofu, peanut butter, graham crackers. I...

Posted on 11th of February, 2010 by Lévana
Pecan Brownies Here comes the timeless classic, the little black dress of your dessert repertoire. I whip them up at the drop of a hat: I am often asked to do just that, so I double the recipe and pour the batter into a (real please, not disposable) large cookie...

Date Nut Bread Recipe
Posted on 27th of January, 2010 by Lévana
Sounds dead-good-for-you-serious, doesn’t it? that is until you taste it: Plump and moist and chock full of goodies. I make it with spelt flour too, so it’s a win-win. As you may know, I am hard at work on my next cookbook, and all sweeteners are “under investigation” in each...
