Apple Sauce Recipe
Posted on 24th of October, 2011 by Lévana
Until just last week, which is just before we hosted our annual Simchat Torah Party, if the idea of serving apple sauce to guests had entered my head, I would have been worried about my culinary creativity coming to a screeching halt. But here’s what happened: I cooked and baked...

Upcoming Cooking Demo in NYC: Monday October 31st: Secrets of Whole Grain Bread Baking. Served with Salad and Soup
Posted on 24th of October, 2011 by Lévana
Too many of us simply don’t believe bread or challah can be as exciting if baked with whole grain flours, and often settle for mediocre bad-for-you white bread offerings. I have the modest hope of changing that in my circles of students and readers. As you all know, and as...

Caramel Sauce Recipe
Posted on 18th of October, 2011 by Lévana
Another glowing example of a treat known as dairy that doesn’t in the least suffer from a dairy-free adaptation, au contraire! (Go ahead and multiply the recipe if you would like—it keeps very well.) Delicious over ice cream, pound cake, bread puddings, etc… For a richer texture, I use a...

Upcoming Cooking Demo in NYC: Monday October 24th: Italian Feast
Posted on 18th of October, 2011 by Lévana
Italian flavors at their best! Each dish is a meal in its own right. Except for the dessert, all dishes are gluten-free I have a pretty fantastic egg-free take on the delicious but prohibitively egg yolk-rich classic zabaglione. I’ll be demonstrating: Chicken cacciatore Herb Italian bean soup Panzanella with mock...

Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe: Gluten-Free Friendly, and Kids-Friendly!
Posted on 17th of October, 2011 by Lévana
We all used to pile into my mother-in-law’s small apartment for her famed dish and always lied to her that somehow ours didn’t come out as good as hers: Anything to have her make a vat of it, which would disappear in minutes. All the children in our family...

Pumpkin Pecan Pie Recipe: Gluten-Free Friendly!
Posted on 7th of October, 2011 by Lévana
I usually find the holiday pecan pie almost too sweet for human consumption, but when I add a pumpkin filling, the customary cloying sweetness is pleasantly mitigated. Besides, pumpkin and pecans are a match made in dessert heaven. This pie adapt beautifully to gluten-free needs, as you could make the...

Apple-Chutney Roasted Salmon Recipe
Posted on 6th of October, 2011 by Lévana
What makes this dish not a recipe in the strict sense of the term is, I don’t go and make 2 quarts of chutney just so I can use some of it to make a salmon. Rather, I make lots of it, confident I will find great uses for it....

Apple Raisin Chutney Recipe
Posted on 6th of October, 2011 by Lévana
Chutney: An ancient addition to the modern kitchen Chutneys, from the Hindi “to be licked” (an inspired derivation, if you have ever tasted a good one), are relishes that originated in India as a way of preserving fruits and vegetables. Sweet, tart, chunky and with a bit of fire, a...

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...
