Shavouot: Some of my Favorites Dairy Creations. All Recipes Included
Posted on 7th of May, 2013 by Lévana
My – usually virtuous enough – students and readers have asked me specifically to go all out for my Shavouot Dishes, starring mostly dairy treats, all those foods we love to hate. “With Cheese!!!”, one of them even emailed me in bold print: You asked for the splurge! The good news...

Lemon Cake Recipe
Posted on 6th of May, 2013 by Lévana
Non-Lemon-Lovers need not apply! This is perfect for brunch but also for dessert, with fruit or sorbet. The baked cake gets soaked all over with a luscious lemon syrup. You are in for a treat! This is a decidedly dairy cake. Sorry, guys! Don’t substitute margarine or oil for the...

Penne with Tomato Sauce Recipe. All Variations
Posted on 6th of May, 2013 by Lévana
There’s nothing more versatile than homemade tomato sauce and whatever you might like to throw in. It is guaranteed to leave all (repeat: all) its store-bought counterparts in the dust. So go for it and try all my suggestions! In tomato-based sauces, it’s OK to use tubular hollow-shaped pasta and let the...

Eggplant Roulades Recipes. All Variations. GF Adaptations
Posted on 6th of May, 2013 by Lévana
Fun and delicious, and a great choice for a vegetarian entree. As always, I ignore the eggplant’s insatiable appetite for oil, skip the frying and the slices, just enough to make them pliable and ready to roll! No problem making these rolls with gluten-free bread crumbs. These roulades will reheat...

Cold Avocado Cucumber Soup Recipe
Posted on 6th of May, 2013 by Lévana
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...

Blueberry Cake with Almond Streusel Recipe
Posted on 5th of May, 2013 by Lévana
Blueberries: You just say the word, and I wax lyrical. Blueberries can do no wrong! All of my friends who used to summer with us in the mountains think of me fondly each time they make this cake. I can’t remember how many thousands I have made; I still have pictures of...

Posted on 29th of April, 2013 by Lévana
Last night, Erev Lag Baomer, I was baking up a storm for my children’s Lag Baomer BBQ party, Chabad of Washington Heights. I am always graciously asked, don’t you dare show up without my chocolate chip cookies so of course, I made a mountain of these. I had lots of bananas...

Moroccan Spicy Romaine Lettuce Chickpea Salad Recipe
Posted on 19th of April, 2013 by Lévana
One of my favorites, overlaid with Moroccan flavors. All of you out there always asking how we turn a same old, same old salad into an exciting Sephardi main course salad: You can glorify it even further by throwing in some leftover diced fish or chicken, or make it dairy,...

Photo Courtesy www.Mielmaroc.com The treat of my childhood: peanut butter and jelly Moroccan-style called Amlou.
