Recipe for Chocolate Pound Cake from Cook’s Illustrated Baking Book by the editors at America's Test Kitchen and cookbook & Tiptree Tawny Orange Marmalade and Little Scarlet Preserve giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

Big decision for my contribution to this week’s ladies’ lunch: Lemon Bundt Cake or New York Crumb Cake from this perfectly amazing book? Perhaps both. But then I saw the recipe for Chocolate Pound Cake. Here’s an easy dessert that works for an elegant party or a picnic. My favorite topping: a bit of French butter and some of either of our giveaways this week—a jar of Wilkins & Sons Ltd./Tiptree Tawny Orange Marmalade, or their oh-so-amazing Little Scarlet Preserve (yes, this extraordinary treat is called a preserve, not preserves). Trust me, these jams really pair nicely with chocolate.

Recipe for Greek Vegetable Tart from Orexi! by Theo A. Michaels and cookbook & Zabar's sweatshirt giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This is the perfect time of the year for this cookbook. It features tons of recipes using fresh ingredients. I am thrilled with this gorgeous, easy vegetable tart. Using store-bought puff pastry--we love Dufour brand here at Zabar's--makes it a snap. Also, try the Spinach & Feta Balls with Watermelon, Fisherman's Soup, any of the skewered meats for your barbecuing pleasure, and two pretty wonderful desserts made with phyllo.

The winner will be selected randomly on 6/20/19 and will be contacted by email.

Recipe for Little Treasures Cake from Simple Cake by Odette Williams and cookbook & Zabar's Chocolate Bundle giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This book has many cakes to make, with variations to dress them up or down. I swooned over the chocolatey Bribery Cake, and also the Loveliest Layer Cake, covered in sweet edible flowers. But this week, I am making the Little Treasures Cake, sprinkled with old-fashioned candies, for a little one’s first birthday. Sweet!
