Upcoming Cooking demo in NYC: Glorious Tajines. Gluten-Free
Posted on 24th of November, 2011 by Lévana
The appeal of Moroccan food is universal. The aromas and flavors of the dishes do their magic every bit as much as the simplicity of their preparation. There’s just one more secret: What we call somewhat dismissively “side dishes” and which gets shuffled around on our dinner plate simply doesn’t...

Pastilla Recipe
Posted on 22nd of September, 2011 by Lévana
Pastilla is one of the world’s great dishes, and it takes just one delightful bite to understand why. It epitomizes Moroccan cuisine, spicy and sweet, delicate and intriguing. More labored than the dishes I usually share, but then this is a very special treat. I admit I toast the almonds...

Rosh Hashanah Menu, Complete with Recipes
Posted on 20th of September, 2011 by Lévana
I couldn’t resist drawing liberally from my Sephardi heritage to make my Rosh Hashanah menu selection. Our holiday dishes as I remember them served in my childhood home and beyond still make my tongue smile, even after all these years. And if all the pre-Rosh Hashanah cooking demos I have...

Salmon with Pomegranate Sauce Recipe
Posted on 20th of September, 2011 by Lévana
Sweet-and-sour combinations work beautifully with salmon. The onions caramelize and contribute a sweet counterpoint to the vinegar. Another quick and delicious dish, just the way I like it—one pan, one step. Ingredients: 1 whole side salmon, no skin, no bones, about 3½ pounds, trimmed, or other thick-flesh fish, such as...

Dried Fruit Couscous Recipe. Meat and Poultry Variations.
Posted on 24th of August, 2011 by Lévana
Couscous is wonderful and fun, the rock star of Moroccan cuisine. Couscous is native to Morocco, and the word refers to both the grain and the traditional dish made with the grain. It is semolina, or durum (the heart of the wheat kernel), ground to the consistency of coarse cornmeal...

Spicy Lettuce Chick Pea Salad Recipe
Posted on 19th of July, 2011 by Lévana
One of my favorites! All of you out there always asking how we turn a same old, same old salad into an exciting main course salad: You can glorify it even further by throwing in some leftover diced fish or chicken, or make it dairy, and throw in some crumbled...

Anise and Sesame Galette Recipe
Posted on 14th of July, 2011 by Lévana
My sister Lea’s galettes: Hers the best, even my mother agrees! Galettes were a staple at my house in Morocco, and still are at my mother’s house, where all children clamor for them, calling them Maman Biscuit (they lump all her baked goods into this one generic word: biscuit), submitting...

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...

We never tire of Moroccan fare: these are wonderful breakfast and lunch dishes, for pennies and in minutes! So little work, so much flavor and nutrition: How do they do it?
