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!).

Posted on 15th of April, 2011 by Lévana
This bottle was part of a gorgeous Mishloach Manot/birthday present basket I received from my daughter Bella. Reading the ingredient list created an uproar among my guests.

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...

Quick Black Bean Chocolate Soup Recipe
Posted on 16th of December, 2010 by Lévana
Beans and chocolate? I recently teased my friend Sara into identifying the odd ingredient in this soup, which she loved. I enjoyed watching her racking her brains, and didn’t feel any guilt about it: After all, she was working for food, and was kept guessing through a second bowl. PS,...
