Moroccan Almond Shortbread Crescents Recipe
Posted on 10th of April, 2012 by Lévana
A great Sephardi favorite, called ghriba. Traditionally we make them round and top them with a little cinnamon, but I find that no matter how carefully I store them, the tops always start crumbling and looking ragged, so I shape them in crescents, and they behave themselves and keep their...

Posted on 10th of April, 2012 by Lévana
The French term for chickpeas is “pois chiches,” meaning something like pea’s poor relatives. Wow, if poor and modest could always taste like this (I for one think it always does), just give it to me! So many hummus joints have recently sprouted all over the city: chickpea spreads with...

Posted on 3rd of April, 2012 by Lévana
Poor parsnips too often serve as crowd actor, and then get discarded (as in chicken soup), but here they are “it”. Who knew they could be so fabulous? hot and sweet is a great treatment for them, and the easiest. They are delicious at room temperature as well. Sephardi Tsimmis?...

Warm Fig Tart Recipe. Gluten-Free Friendly
Posted on 14th of March, 2012 by Lévana
A nice and super healthy take on pumpkin pie, and so easy to make. Easily converted to a gluten-free treat: You could use any flour at all. The pairing of figs with rosemary is deliciously funky. Remember, as always: No cooking wine or cooking sherry or any of those calamitous...

Pasta with Roasted Cauliflower and Bread Crumbs Topping Recipe. Gluten-Free Variation
Posted on 13th of February, 2012 by Lévana
I love the robust flavor of cauliflower, and the roasting intensifies it even further. I use frozen cauliflower, as it is already cut, cleaned, and every bit as delicious and nutritious! Attention Gluten-Free readers: This is for you too! Although this dish needs no help from the usual pasta suspects...

Posted on 6th of November, 2011 by Lévana
Cookbooks these days have become works of art. We display them on our coffee tables, give them our coveted, valuable kitchen counter space, we read them in bed as if they were gripping novels. Their pages are glossy, the recipes are illustrated by full-page color photographs, and we all try...
