Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Flourless chocolate cake

    • laurabead on November 16, 2018

      Our favorite cake for passover (or any other time of year). It's rich and dense. Delicious with a raspberry coulis and/or barely sweetened whipped cream.

  • Creamed spinach with jalapeño peppers

  • Braised fennel, celery, onion and red pepper

    • wester on November 02, 2012

      This was actually very simple and very tasty. The reason it didn't get more stars is that the timing was way off - it needed about twice as long as stated, and the onions wouldn't have minded staying in the oven for even longer. I added some fennel seeds as well, which was nice.

  • Black cake
