For all of you always asking what fabulous treats I make my husband for dinner when we are alone, weekdays or shabbos, the answer is: Salad. I do hope you are not disappointed, and do not feel sorry for him, especially because salad is his express wish. Nope: In my...

Dearie: A Biography of Julia Child, by Bob Spitz
Posted on 9th of September, 2012 by Lévana
Just finished reading Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child, written by author and biographer extraordinaire Bob Spitz. Let me start with my – very few – gripes, then we’ll move on to the good stuff. I did say Ouf! when I was done, not because I didn’t love it....

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...

In Honor of Julia Child JC100 Anniversary: Salad Niçoise Recipe
Posted on 30th of May, 2012 by Lévana
Will I sound like a dinosaur if I declare that in my view no one, but no one, can fill dearest Julia’s gargantuan shoes and imitate her stentorian voice? I remember going to hear her at the Javitz Center, house packed to the rafters, just a couple years before her...

Ratatouille Recipe. French Style, and Moroccan Style
Posted on 9th of July, 2011 by Lévana
I don’t think Julia Child would object to a little tweaking of the French Classic, taken in a Moroccan direction. Besides, all things Eggplant are a huge favorite in North African and Middle Eastern Cooking. In Arabic we call this dish “Za’Look” , and must predate Julia’s cooking by a...

Moroccan Fish Soup Recipe
Posted on 19th of March, 2010 by Lévana
Julia Child’s Bouillabaisse, the perennial favorite, wears several hats, all quite becoming. My version omits the verboten shellfish, and has very pleasing Moroccan overtones (this Moroccan can’t help it!) Some Seder guest recently created quite a stir at my (kosher) table when she declared after tasted this soup: “I can...
