Chocolate Hazelnut Dacquoise Recipe
Posted on 21st of June, 2012 by Lévana
Dacquoise is that wonderful French classic party cake, made up of layers of meringue and fillings. I have made the fillings much lighter (and much simpler to make), but no less delicious, with the help of my staunch ally tofu: No tofu flavors whatsoever remain, only the great chocolate and...

Indian Corn Amaranth Pudding Recipe
Posted on 18th of June, 2012 by Lévana
Overlaid with my favorite Indian flavors, and a snap to make. Another perfect example of great results with plebeian ingredients. This spicy and funky dessert takes comfort foods to a whole new level. Gluten-free without even trying. Do not forgo the saffron: it will add that subtle je-ne-sais-quoi exotic touch....

Julia Child’s Gateau Reine de Saba Recipe a la Levana!
Posted on 14th of June, 2012 by Lévana
I got my inspiration directly from Julia. The name is not presumptuous for this fabulous and ethereal dessert. It is almost flourless, but I make it completely so, and enjoy it on Passover too. Its short and dazzling ingredient list read like that of a giant chocolate truffle. Chocolate and...

Moroccan Almond Shortbread Crescents Recipe
Posted on 10th of April, 2012 by Lévana
A great Sephardi favorite, called ghriba. Traditionally we make them round and top them with a little cinnamon, but I find that no matter how carefully I store them, the tops always start crumbling and looking ragged, so I shape them in crescents, and they behave themselves and keep their...

Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars Recipe
Posted on 8th of March, 2012 by Lévana
I created these delicious (and gluten-free to boot) treats to celebrate the discovery that my granddaughter Musia was no longer allergic to peanut butter, and since she has a sort of chocolate obsession, this was the ultimate gift. To get an even shorter cut into her heart, I threw in...
