My Pre-Pessach Shabbos Bash. Complete Menu
Posted on 8th of March, 2013 by Lévana
My whole grain loaves look plebeian and rustic, in the traditional Sephardi/Arabic tradition, but they taste GOOD! I recently received some fabulous meat samples from Naftali Hanau at Grow and Behold Good mother that I am, I decided to enjoy my precious gift in the appreciative company of my foodie...

Making Shabbos in a Jiffy
Posted on 23rd of December, 2012 by Lévana
This whole past week was taken up at my apartment with emergency repairs, and the first time I had full access to my kitchen was Thursday night. Since we are going away to Israel this coming Thursday, for almost two weeks, we wanted to spend this Shabbos with my children...

Almond Streusel Coffee Cake Recipe
Posted on 13th of June, 2012 by Lévana
Yum! Lemon and almonds: Outrageous match! Wonderful brunch choice, as it has the look and texture of a yeasted pastry, thanks to the yogurt. Don’t hesitate to go dairy-free, as it has enough great flavors going for it. I make mine with spelt flour, just as I make all...

Mocca Oatmeal Cake Recipe
Posted on 3rd of January, 2012 by Lévana
I adore oats: the flavor, the texture, the ease of preparation, the low price, the nutritional assets: Everything! those of you who have my latest cookbook know there’s absolutely nothing I don’t do with them, including mudpacks, which I don’t eat and don’t feed anyone: Thank G-d for small blessings,...

Chinese Cookies Recipe. Gluten-Free Adaptable
Posted on 14th of September, 2011 by Lévana
Who knew they could be made right at home? And who knows why they are called Chinese cookies for that matter? I don’t think the Chinese have ever even heard of them. It’s a little like French kiss or French laundry or French goodness knows what else, which always leaves...

Anise and Sesame Galette Recipe
Posted on 14th of July, 2011 by Lévana
My sister Lea’s galettes: Hers the best, even my mother agrees! Galettes were a staple at my house in Morocco, and still are at my mother’s house, where all children clamor for them, calling them Maman Biscuit (they lump all her baked goods into this one generic word: biscuit), submitting...

My Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies: CCC? Si si si!
Posted on 11th of June, 2011 by Lévana
We all think of cookies as a short-lived and vaguely illicit pleasure. Except I honestly don’t think, and you can ask anyone, there’s a cookie in the world more worshiped and more baked than my smart little chocolate chip cookie. I will attempt to give you an idea just how much...

Carrot Cake Recipe
Posted on 25th of May, 2011 by Lévana
Our award-winning cake, circa 1980. Ideally moist and fragrant. I believe all old timers at Levana then-Bakery remember it well. My mother used to get such a kick out of this recipe. She would ask, “Why not a turnip cake or a tomato cake, while you are trying to be...

Muffin Recipes. All Variations
Posted on 15th of December, 2010 by Lévana
Cranberry Muffins You say cup cakes, I say muffins! Gosh, I would hate to lose my popularity with the junior cup-cake crowd, but many years of catering kids’ parties and watching their delighted faces as their lick their fingers put my fears at rest. As if that was not enough,...

Apricot Oat Bar Recipe
Posted on 26th of October, 2010 by Lévana
Incredibly easy and wonderful! There is nothing I don’t do with oats, even mudpacks and hair rinses (which of course I don’t eat, or drink, respectively: Relax!) No problem whatsoever adapting this recipe to gluten-free! Ingredients: 3/4 cup natural margarine (health food stores) 3/4 cup sucanat 1 1/2 cups old...
