Recipe for Ricotta-Stuffed Zucchini from The Italian Table by Elizabeth Minchilli and cookbook & Zabar's Rugelach Box giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

My dreams are often filled with tales from my grandparents' childhoods in Italy, my favorite place in the world (except for the Upper West Side of Manhattan and a few beaches here and there). This book is filled with elegant recipes that will amaze your family and friends. Try the sausages with wine and olives or spinach tart tortilla di erbette, a ravioli-like pasta, filled with ricotta and Swiss chard, and a lovely fig cake for dessert. Is your garden starting to overflow with zucchini yet? When it does, here’s a great recipe using the ubiquitous veggie. Our giveaway this week is Zabar’s Rugelach Box!

Amaze your guests with this easy and yummy dessert.

This book is bursting with recipes on my to-cook list: Salsa, Guacamole, Enchiladas, Chicken al Carbón, a whole bird roasted over the fire, and some pretty wonderful desserts. The Mexican chocolate flan made me very, very happy. Follow the directions carefully, especially about chilling overnight, and you will have an extraordinary result.

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

I really love this book. My favorite recipe this week is for the tomato basil turnovers. They are a delicious appetizer you can make, easily and quickly, thanks to frozen puff pastry. We love the Dufour brand here at Zabar’s. Hummingbird Cupcakes are next on my baking list. Then, an adorable Blueberry Shortcake and the Pear and Apple Crisp. Our giveaway this week is a copy of Bake the Seasons and Zabar’s babka duo—one chocolate, one cinnamon.
