More than 150 simple,
nutritious, beautifully presented recipes
reflecting Lévana's Moroccan upbringing and
other wide-ranging culinary influences.
Lévana's Original Book!
For more than twenty years,
Lévana Kirschenbaum has delighted New Yorkers
with her bakery, restaurant, catering business
and cooking classes. Now, for the first time,
she shares her kosher recipes and kitchen
wisdom with home cooks everywhere.
LEVANAS TABLE offers more than 150 recipes
that are simple, nutritious, beautifully
presented and 100 percent kosher. Together,
these dishes form an international mosaic
reflecting the author's Moroccan upbringing
and other wide-ranging culinary influences and
interests: French, Mediterranean, Asian and
vegetarian cooking, as well as food for
holidays and entertaining.
Recipes include traditional kosher fare, such
as potato latkes, matzoh ball soup and brisket
with sweet-and-sour sauce. But this is not
your grandmother's kosher cookbook. There are
many Moroccan-style dishes, such as couscous,
tagine, tabbouleh and pastilla. Lévana also
includes creative contemporary fare that just
happens to be kosher: Tricolor Vegetable
Terrine with Basil-Leek Coulis; Champagne
Risotto with Arugula, Peas and Asparagus; and
Porcini-Cruste Black Sea Bass with Mint Sauce.
And, of course there are the desserts – from
the author's award-winning carrot cake to her
sought-after chocolate chip cookies to her
decadent Chocolate-Hazelnut Mousse Torte. The
book closes with twenty menus for entertaining
and everyday; and a survey of kosher wines
that are as international as Lévana's cooking. |
