Posted on 27th of May, 2011 by Lévana

Mushroom and Feta-Stuffed Tilapia Rolls Recipe
Posted on 27th of May, 2011 by Lévana
Beautiful enough to use as main course. The stuffing takes only a few minutes to make and freezes very well, so you might consider doubling the amounts and freezing the unused part for another meal. It will be suitable (minus the cheese) to stuff thinly pounded chicken cutlets too, using...

Tiramisu Recipe
Posted on 27th of May, 2011 by Lévana
Italian for “pick-me-up”, probably because it puts together three of our favorite intense robust flavors: rum, chocolate and coffee (please don’t try to substitute any of them!). This dessert is so fabulous that I never bother to make the original dairy version. It’s also healthier, thanks to my staunch ally...

Posted on 15th of April, 2011 by Lévana

Yerushalmi Kugel Recipe
Posted on 27th of January, 2011 by Lévana
Yerushalmi Kugel A great Jewish favorite, and a real showcase in Israeli synagogues at Kiddush time: I have seen two burly men flip an enormous pot of it onto a gigantic counter, then slice it across its whole diameter in two or three places with a knife about three feet...
