Banana Coconut Poppy Seed Cake Recipe. Gluten-Free Adaptation included.
Posted on 29th of April, 2013 by Lévana
Last night, Erev Lag Baomer, I was baking up a storm for my children’s Lag Baomer BBQ party, Chabad of Washington Heights. I am always graciously asked, don’t you dare show up without my chocolate chip cookies so of course, I made a mountain of these. I had lots of bananas...

My Pre-Pessach Shabbos Bash. Complete Menu
Posted on 8th of March, 2013 by Lévana
My whole grain loaves look plebeian and rustic, in the traditional Sephardi/Arabic tradition, but they taste GOOD! I recently received some fabulous meat samples from Naftali Hanau at Grow and Behold Good mother that I am, I decided to enjoy my precious gift in the appreciative company of my foodie...

Halva Maple Mousse with Pistachios. Gluten-Free
Posted on 4th of March, 2013 by Lévana
Like many of us halva lovers, I dread the amount of sugar contained in commercial halva. But the good news is, it is so intensely flavored that I always tinker with ways to make the included sugar go a much longer way while getting the full measure of the Tehina...

Lemon Coconut Mousse. Gluten-Free
Posted on 3rd of March, 2013 by Lévana
Another treat born of good flavor matchmaking! Anyone not a lemon lover, or coconut lover, need not apply! Naturally gluten-free. In my catering days I have always used unflavored kosher gelatin in many exciting desserts but had never offered any of them in my cookbooks and my demos, as it...

Posted on 30th of January, 2013 by Lévana
Photo courtesy of tasteofhome.com This recipe is directly inspired from my original “mother” oatmeal cookie recipe, which I developed for my latest cookbook, one of the many variations for them I have included.

CCC Redux: Walnut Blondies Recipe
Posted on 7th of August, 2012 by Lévana
Photo via www.tasteofhome.com A couple weeks ago, I was baking chocolate chip cookies with kids in summer camp, and our baking conditions were rudimentary, to say the least. We needed to bake 48 cookies in a convection oven large enough to bake, say, 2 pans of 12 cookies. So, simple...

Coconut Cinnamon Flan Recipe. Gluten-Free Friendly
Posted on 1st of August, 2012 by Lévana
I tinkered with a dessert that would be a nutritionally … hmm not exactly lean, but much more affordable and no less delicious version of creme brulee or creme caramel. The Latin Flan to the rescue! We grew up eating it: it is unpretentious and closely related to its rich...

Moroccan Chick Pea Sesame Cookies Recipe. Gluten-Free Friendly
Posted on 23rd of July, 2012 by Lévana
A favorite Sephardi Flavor marriage: Sesame and anise. These cookies are impossibly fragrant, crisp and delicious. They get their funky flavor and texture from the chick-pea flour, and are a snap to adapt to Gluten-Free. Just to be clear: 2 cups chick pea flour, plus 2 cups any flour of...

Apricot Custard Tart Recipe. GF-Friendly
Posted on 10th of July, 2012 by Lévana
If you are, as I am, crazy about all stone fruit, this tart is for you: I initially developed this recipe with apricots in mind, but not finding them as ripe and fragrant as I wanted them to be, I picked their cousins, nectarines, which happened to look luscious. Peaches...
