Recipe for Little Greek Doughnuts, cookbook review of Modern Greek Cooking by Pano Karatassos, and giveaway of the cookbook and Zabar's Babka Duo

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

It’s Hanukkah! We make traditional latkes every year. We also make doughnuts—usually sugary yeast doughnuts filled with raspberry jam. These little Greek ones are less sweet than ours, until you drizzle them with honey. And just in case there isn’t enough sweet stuff on your table, we are giving away two Zabar’s babkas—one chocolate and one cinnamon. May the Festival of Lights bring blessings and joy to you, your loved ones and the world.

Recipe for Raspberry Brioche from Lamingtons & Lemon Tart by Darren Purchese and giveaway of cookbook Zabar's mugs & coffee

This little brioche is not too sweet, but very yummy. It only takes a few minutes to mix the ingredients, and then some time for the dough to rest and rise. The book has another recipe for a sugary, eggy bread concoction, similar to French toast, using the brioche and served with peanut brittle ice cream. Just in case you like sugar. We are giving away a copy of the Lamingtons and Lemon Tart cookbook, 1 lb. Zabar's Kona Style coffee and two Zabar's Design Porcelain mugs.

Recipe for Banana Split Cookie Shots from Cookie Shots by Sabrina Fauda-Rôle and cookbook and vanilla giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

Our friend, Dominique Ansel, introduced the world to the cookie shot, a little edible cup he fills with cold milk. This book is all about creative ways to make and fill them, with ice cream, mousse, cheesecake, and lemon curd. Toppings include fruit, chocolate, marshmallow, and coconut. A desert lover's dream. If you don't have cookie shot molds, you can use the recipes to make big cookies on a baking sheet. As ever, use the very best quality baking ingredients for these, including Zabar's favorite vanilla.

Bourbon Bread Pudding recipe and giveaway of the Baking for Breakfast cookbook, Zabar's Signature Canvas Tote Bag and Zabar's Bitter Orange Fruit Spread

Recipe by Cheryl Day & Griffith Day
Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

Starting the bread pudding with an eggy challah or brioche makes a rich treat for anyone who loves nursery desserts. Ending with a sweetened bourbon sauce makes this a very grown-up dessert. I drizzle the sauce on half the pudding, so my family can choose. It’s simple and sweet, and there probably won’t be any leftovers for breakfast.

Recipe for Easy Strawberry Sauce from Perfectly Creamy Frozen Yogurt by Nicole Weston and cookbook, Zabar's apron and a jar of Zabar's strawberry preserves giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

Everyone in our house likes to combine travel and food. We often explore the great bakeries of Europe, and sometimes those of Brooklyn and New Jersey. There have been trips across the country, focused on burgers and pizza, and I, on occasion, have led a culinary tour of parts of Italy. There was even a bike trip across America in search of the ultimate ice-cream sundae. This book, bursting with recipes for creative flavors of frozen yogurt, also has some toppings you need to have in your repertoire. I make large batches of hot fudge and this strawberry sauce and pour them into sterilized canning jars. Our guests who come for dessert go home with full, happy bellies and a container or two of this sweet sauce.
