The Morning After: Turkey Salad Recipe and Variations
Posted on 20th of November, 2011 by Lévana
Whenever I make a turkey, I have not only a feast to offer on Turkey day, but a leftover-turkey feast on post-turkey days: you just wouldn’t believe how many hats this bird can wear, one more becoming than the next. The trick with turkey – and all – leftovers is...

At my Cooking Demo this past Monday night, Thanksgiving Feast, my guests were simply amazed we finished the preparations of a whole Thanksgiving dinner with more than half an hour to spare, not including the 2 hours baking time we started the turkey on before demo started, during which we...

Royally Annoying Review on Royal Challah Silicone Mold
Posted on 17th of November, 2011 by Lévana
This challah silicone mold, which was created to obediently take on a beautiful braid’s shape for dutiful but less-than-dexterous bakers, elicited many comments, a few of them of a gastronomic nature, most of them of a reconstructive-surgery nature (vaguely reminding one as it does of some enhancement plan…), and just...

Kosherfest 2011!
Posted on 14th of November, 2011 by Lévana
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...

Let’s Talk Turkey: In Search of the Perfect Roasted Bird!
Posted on 4th of November, 2011 by Lévana
Thanksgiving was our busiest day all the years we had our Restaurant, Levana. I suspect the reason was, beside bringing many families together and offering complete and delicious Thanksgiving meals with bells and whistles, quite simply, some people are afraid of turkey. And who could blame them? I often see...

Posted on 2nd of November, 2011 by Lévana
Since I use spelt flour for all my baked goods (except the gluten-free ones), both sweet and savory, let me start with a word about spelt: While I see no reason to put the whole nation on a gluten-free diet (you will see throughout my latest cookbook that I make...

Pumpkin Corn Pudding Recipe
Posted on 1st of November, 2011 by Lévana
You will be pleased to see that in my new cookbook I make extensive use of pumpkin all shapes and sizes, for both savory and sweet dishes. I should also tell you I never like stuffing turkey directly, so I make lots my stuffing “outside”, in a separate dish. This...

Pardes Tasting Menu: A Multi-Dish Multi-Level Feast
Posted on 30th of October, 2011 by Lévana
Chef Moshe Wendel of Pardes Restaurant looks, sounds and cooks like a force of nature. I was there last Sunday with my friends Larisa and Gene, and their precious daughter Chasya, and rather than order specific dishes, we willingly submitted to Chef Moshe’s magic and ordered a complete tasting menu,...

Mock Zabaglione Recipe
Posted on 25th of October, 2011 by Lévana
I haven’t had the authentic zablaglione, a luscious Italian whipped egg-yolk-sugar-and-port cream, since one day I got sick from -and ashamed of- having splurged on it. But even at small doses, not everyone can afford it: I trust you will like the results of my tinkering: It tastes very much...
