Kosherfest 2012 Standout New Products

Posted on 25th of November, 2012 by Lévana

Kosherfest in Secaucus was great fun this year. I and quite a few others marveled at how the staff at Kosherfest pulled off the whole show with their hands often tied behind their backs, so soon after Hurricane Sandy, which crippled many warehouses and made transportation a nightmare. Although I...

Moroccan Butternut Squash Chick Pea soup

Posted on 8th of July, 2012 by Lévana

Moroccan Squash chick pea soup

We Sephardi love squash in every way shape of form, and goodness knows it comes in countless shapes and sizes. To the classical pumpkin, which can often be hit or miss inside (sometimes we do want to eat pumpkin, not just make Halloween funny faces with it!), I much prefer the more...

kosherfest2011-11

Would it make me sound like a dinosaur if I said I remember early Kosherfest shows taking place, ages ago, with flocks of young mothers pushing strollers and turning the show into a giant lunch break in an industrial playground? Then the show moved to Javitz Center sans strollers, then...

Guys, here’s what I do, and this is really all it takes. I buy porcini powder online, just to make sure I get the best price, a whole pound of it. It doesn’t really need a kosher certification, but it just happens to have one. It will at first seem...

Mock Crab Cakes with Red Pepper Coulis Recipe

Posted on 4th of August, 2011 by Lévana

IMG_2328

Crab cakes and other seafood goodies were always verboten in the world of kosher dining as well as that of all diners who frown at eating seafood, until some inspired professional foodie recreated the texture and flavor with a plain-vanilla-type fish called pollock. It is processed minimally, so I have...
