Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

Pasta Grannies is filled with adorable photographs of my fellow nonne, plus wonderful and inspiring recipes. Most of the recipes in this book are simple instructions to hand make pasta, some with a filling, and then a sauce. This one teaches you to make the filling without the pasta. It’s amazing. Now, buy the book and start cooking. We are giving away a copy of the cookbook and 3 Zabar’s All Natural Homemade Sauces: Pomodoro, Vodka, and Marinara.

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

Felidia is one of my favorite restaurants. Our family has celebrated birthdays, graduations and a new baby there. We are often joined at the table by Lidia and Tanya when they are in the house. At the end of every meal I have ever had there, chef Nicotra sends me a delightful cookie platter. Let's go there again! Their new cookbook is amazing and the recipes are easy to make. I am currently working my way through the soup chapter. This book belongs on your bookshelf.

Recipe for Pittas Filled with Tuna, Apple Capers and Crinkle-Cut Chips from TLV Tel Aviv Recipes & Stories from Israel by Jigal Krant and cookbook & Zabar's large apple board and our favorite 8" bread knife giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

The recipes in this book are amazing. I chose this one because, in our house, we always put potato chips in tuna sandwiches! And we think everyone else should. The book brought back memories for me of my time in Israel. My first morning there, I woke up to find that my cousin had slipped into our place and laid out breakfast. It was a lovely surprise. The spread included amazingly fresh fruits and vegetables, and some cheese and bread. What could be better? Maybe a tuna sandwich. This week, we are giving away our cutting board from the big apple and our favorite bread knife.
