Brussels Sprouts and Zucchini in Tomato Sauce Recipe. Pasta Adaptation
Posted on 20th of September, 2011 by Lévana
Mediterranean flavors at their best. A frequent Passover treat at my table. I find brussels sprouts somewhat underrated and underused in our country. They are much more exciting than they sound, and much less innocent than they look; and their pungent bite provides a nice counterpoint to the mildness of...

Chinese Cookies Recipe. Gluten-Free Adaptable
Posted on 14th of September, 2011 by Lévana
Who knew they could be made right at home? And who knows why they are called Chinese cookies for that matter? I don’t think the Chinese have ever even heard of them. It’s a little like French kiss or French laundry or French goodness knows what else, which always leaves...

Posted on 31st of August, 2011 by Lévana
Don’t let the multiple steps daunt you: They are quick and simple, and the end result is a fun and professional-looking coil, perfect for a first course or as hors d’oeuvre. You could just as easily make them with 2 colors meat, like ground turkey and ground beef. Not only...

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...

Plum Tart Recipe
Posted on 24th of August, 2011 by Lévana
I have my mother to thank for providing the inspiration for this beautiful tart. The base is not a classic pie crust as we know it, more like a cookie dough, making this tart much less perishable than the classic apple pie. You will create in no time a dessert...

Posted on 17th of August, 2011 by Lévana
Making stock for soup? Never heard of it. My choice of vegetables guarantee me a wonderful soup: Asparagus, zucchini, celery root, leeks, tarragon: How can you miss? Celery root gives the soup not only great flavor, but a slight bulk as well, allowing you to make this a creamy and...

Posted on 4th of August, 2011 by Lévana
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...

The good news, though, is it is very versatile and can easily make a complete meal; besides, the cooking doesn’t take too long. I am including here several interesting combinations, so feel free...

Spicy Steel-Cut Oat Soup (Lahshou) Recipe
Posted on 4th of August, 2011 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...
