Cold Avocado Cucumber Soup Recipe

Posted on 6th of May, 2013 by Lévana

Avocado Cucumber Soup

Is chilled and spicy what you are after? Nothing to it, and no cooking! Just one recommendation: Try your best to make it on the day you intend to serve it, or make it in advance without the avocadoes, and mash the avocadoes and stir them in just before serving. Ingredients: 4...

cb11-12 - Copy

I bet you thought hummus comes in pint containers and no other way. That’s how ubiquitous commercial hummus has become—a marked improvement over many mediocre commercial offerings, but commercial nonetheless. But wait till you see (a) how simple it is to whip up and (b) how many hats it wears,...

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...
