Apple, Jicama and Corn Salsa Recipe
Posted on 17th of March, 2013 by Lévana
You must try this delightful salad, which I am affectionately, although not quite accurately, calling salsa. Colorful and bright, it will compliment roast chicken or meat, and you will enjoy it even by itself. I rarely work with jicama, which I think tends to err on the bland side, but...

Celery Root, Fennel and Chestnut Soup Recipe
Posted on 8th of March, 2013 by Lévana
This star was born of trying to mix and match some goodies at the end of last year’s Passover. I poked around in the refrigerator to see what we’ve got. Now is a good time for some off-the-cuff treat. I saw some dark-fried onions in a little container, a head...

Tehina Sauce Recipe
Posted on 11th of February, 2013 by Lévana

Posted on 10th of February, 2013 by Lévana
Photo courtesy of www.recipesfull.blogspot.com Sardines are to Mediterraneans what tuna is to most Americans. The city of Safi in Morocco has the largest sardine port n the world, and we grew up eating them, so this helps explain why I love them in every shape or form, grilled or in...

Quick Pickled Beets Recipe
Posted on 8th of February, 2013 by Lévana
It is unfortunate that in America, beets invariably conjure up loaded remarks about, uhmmm, never mind . . . I am always looking for ways to sneak them in, where they do their magic even while they totally escape detection: in smoothies, in dips, in cakes (yes cakes), or as...
