Recipe & Giveaway: Greek Vegetable Tart recipe | 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.

Recipe & Giveaway: Little Treasures Cake recipe | 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!

These stuffed peppers are very different from my simple family recipe—we use chopped meat, bread crumbs, eggs and cheese. But these darling peppers, with many more ingredients, have touched my creative side. You don’t need pasta with them, but it always helps!

Recipe for Cheese Straws and Giveaway: cookbook & Zabar's coffee bundle

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

The updated version of the late Edna Lewis’ classic cookbook is a must-have for fans of Southern cooking. Long ago, Miss Lewis cooked a meal for me—lucky me. And lucky you, to have the opportunity to learn from one of the greats. There are charming stories and helpful tips woven into the book, including how her aunt removed the shells from black walnuts by placing them in the driveway and running over them with her car. There is an illustration of her setup for making spun sugar, by suspending a broom between two chairs. And of course, the recipes: from cheese custard to green gage plum preserves and roast stuffed duck to grits. Go in the kitchen and cook!
