Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Beef and white bean stew with cumin (Lubia bel kammùn)

    • Lepa on April 21, 2025

      This stew is fantastic. It is rich, unusual, and very satisfying. I will definitely make it again.

  • Spinach frittata with raisins and pine nuts

    • ozfoodie on April 09, 2024

      Made this to take on our family's Easter picnic. It is not your everyday frittata and was tasty! Though if I make it again I'd want it warm from the oven. I made ahead and refrigerated overnight, and while it was still nice I don't think it was at its best the next day.

  • Spicy tomato-poached fish (Haraimi)

    • Likethetea on April 07, 2026

      It’s not bad, but the tomato sauce is a bit heavy and overpowers the delicate fish. Probably wouldn’t make again

  • Chicken with peppers (Pollo con peperoni)

    • jsguaium on April 25, 2026

      This was made as directed, using peppers I roasted myself. The sauce was very rich and delicious. I did forget to hold back half the strips to add at end, and added all at the same time, but I don’t think that mattered. This is also a dinner part friendly dish in that you can make ahead and keep warm, or reheat. I had 1.5 x chicken required and doubled the other events. I used two frying pans to do browning and braising, then nestled everything in an oven to table casserole when dish complete.

  • Garlic and rosemary roasted lamb (Abbacchio alla Giudia)

    • jsguaium on April 25, 2026

      This was very good and easy to make. I did get boned and tied boneless shoulder from butcher- note biggest lamb shoulder you can buy is around 6 lbs., so either make two or add a second main if you’re feeding a crowd. I think the potatoes cooked with the roast are like a secret weapon, so delicious. I didn’t have a lot of juices.

  • Dried fruit and nut bar cookies (Pizza ebraica)

    • Nancy402 on October 22, 2023

      These turned out really well. A delicious mix of flavours and textures. While the bars are quite large, it is easy to break off the size you want. Goes beautifully with an espresso.

  • Ricotta cheesecake (Cassola)

    • lean1 on February 18, 2024

      easy to put together and tastes great. Gave an extra few minutes in the oven with the oven turned off. browned the top a little better.
