bloviatrix Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I bought Zahav a number of weeks ago. I want to make almost everything in the book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
prasantrin Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 If the roasted shredded beets in tahini sauce (not the actual name of the dish, I think) is in there, it's really good. It's the only beet-based dish I've ever enjoyed, and is also the only restaurant dish I've eaten that I've made at home after searching out a recipe. Â (the only other dish I've wanted to make at home is the date, bacon, and garlic dish from Lolita in Cleveland. I found a recipe for that one, too, but I lost it in a computer crash) Â eta, not that it matters, but the michael symon dish is roasted dates with pancetta, almonds, and chile. there's garlic in the dish, and it's what I remember most about it, but it's not one of the "stars", I guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AaronS Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I made the lemon poppyseed cake from the zahav book recently and it came out really well. can't wait to do more from it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I made the lemon poppyseed cake from the zahav book recently and it came out really well. can't wait to do more from it. Â As I posted on the Supper thread, I made the mina with ground beef, coffee and cinnamon (instead of cardamon). I made a "charoset" with apples, carrots, and horseradish. The dish was a hit, but the ground beef completely fell apart during serving. The spicing actually gave the meat a lamb-y taste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AaronS Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 next thing will most likely be one of the braised meats, probably the brisket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 That mina sounds so good (my order is in). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Suzanne F Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 So you think you could review cookbooks (or other kinds of books)? Publishers Weekly is looking for reviewers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Bonner Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 that mina does sound delicious. I'm gonna start with his hommos first though. Â Besides my wife will probably start making me keep any matzoh in the house in one of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Will this do? Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Suzanne F Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 If I were still buying cookbooks, some of these might be on my list. Â BTW: did I mention that an acquaintance sent me her copy of Koreatown? She had bought it in the hopes of cooking from it with her young-teen daughter, but found the language to rough to share. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
