Semolina Almond Cake Recipe. With Gluten-Free Variation
Posted on 11th of August, 2010 by Lévana
This improbable ingredient combination results in an incredibly moist and fragrant cake. It is important to use a shallow mold here, like a pie plate, no higher than 2 inches high, so the syrup that is poured at the end of baking reaches all the way to the bottom. Those...

Spicy Steel-Cut Oat Soup (Lahshou) Recipe
Posted on 16th of July, 2010 by Lévana
This is a most unusual combination of flavors, and it works beautifully. We serve it after the fast of Tish’a B’Av. When we were children, we were often given this soup to fortify our diet. We made it with wheat or barley, but steel-cut oats are just as delicious, accommodate...

Makrod: Semolina Date Pastry Recipe. Gluten-Free Friendly
Posted on 22nd of April, 2010 by Lévana
I have always rather neglected this wonderful treat, as the traditional preparation requires frying, my nemesis: I don’t think I have more than a handful of fried dishes in my whole repertoire. But I tweaked the recipe to do my bidding as a baked, not fried, treat, and the result...

Posted on 20th of March, 2010 by Lévana
I grew up in a very modest household, but I remember fabulous food at every meal at my home, especially on Pessach. So much so that, fast forward more years than I care to admit, I actually wait for that time of year to showcase my culinary stars. So, what’s...

Chicken Tajine with Prunes and Almonds Recipe
Posted on 19th of March, 2010 by Lévana
A friendly warning: You will never be able to speak disparagingly about the lowly prune again after you have tasted this magnificent dish, so find something – or someone -else to pick on. If you like dried apricots, substitute them for the prunes, or use half prunes half apricots. You...

Lamb Shanks with Artichokes and Mushrooms Recipe
Posted on 19th of March, 2010 by Lévana
Lamb shanks are one of the most ideal cuts of the lamb: Lean, tender, low maintenance, and best of all, very well priced! And I love their rustic, unpretentious look making your homemade dish look ….. homemade. The bones in the shanks contribute a succulent gelatinous texture. I am making...

Beef Tajine with Lemon Oregano Sauce Recipe
Posted on 19th of March, 2010 by Lévana
If my upcoming cookbook is endowed with so many wonderful recipes, you have my daughter Bella to thank almost as well as me: While I was writing this book, she would call me regularly and ask me with great urgency if I thought of including this or that dish. (“Mommy,...

Chicken Vegetable Soup Recipe
Posted on 19th of March, 2010 by Lévana
I am giving you here a variation my mother lives on almost daily—chicken soup as a meal: Nothing gets discarded. It’s the best! If you would rather use chicken breasts, then add 1∕3 cup olive oil to the pot. Ingredients: 1 large onion, quartered 1 large bunch dill 1 bunch...

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...
