Recipe for My Go-to Caramelized Bananas from Everyone Can Bake by Dominique Ansel

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

I have been the lucky recipient of many a sweet from my old friend, Chef Dominique. His recipes elevate my baking skills. I am looking forward to the day I can share a meal with my family again. This book's chocolate cake recipe with chocolate ganache filling, topped with these sweet, caramelized bananas, is the first dessert on my list. The Zabar boys are going to be very, very happy.

Recipe for Roasted Carrots with Maple and Pecans from Five Ingredient Vegan by Katy Beskow

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

You don’t have to be a vegan to love this beautiful book. There are lots of clever ways to incorporate veggies into your meal. I have two more of the traybake recipes on my list: one that combines pear and butter beans, the other, coconut and squash.

As we prepare to celebrate Passover and Easter, I am hearing from friends and family all over the world. Everyone is contemplating the prospect of a holiday without loved ones around the table. We all hope for better days ahead, with chaos, noise and children running through the dining room, laughing and trailing crumbs across the floor. David and I will be missing our four firefighter/medic sons this week, but we will be thinking of them and dreaming of our family meals to come, with our joy-filled, delightful toddler grandson at the center of it all. So stay home, be safe and healthy, call your mother and eat yer veggies! Happy holidays from our family to yours.
