Recipe for Crispy Sesame Schnitzel from sababa by Adeena Sussman and cookbook & Zabar's NY Original Toasting Bagel Bag (Assorted) giveaway

Schnitzel. The easiest classic recipe that should be in your recipe box. We cook them up, thin or thick, and use the leftovers for sandwiches the next day. Sometime we cut them into pieces for a tasty addition to our lunch salad. The book is overflowing with recipes using fresh and yummy ingredients. There are variations on tahini sauce, labaneh, and kugel. My copy of sababa will be falling apart before I am done with it.

Recipe & Giveaway: Speedy Skillet Ravioli Lasagna recipe | Cookbook & Zabar's black and white cookie duo box giveaway

Recipe for Speedy Skillet Ravioli Lasagna from Lasagna by Anna Hezel and the Editors of TASTE and cookbook & Zabar's black and white cookie duo box giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This cookbook has lots and lots of creative ways to make lasagna and other baked pastas. My favorite is this lasagna, delicious and brilliantly made with ravioli. And, rather than one pan for the sauce, one for the noodles, and a third to bake the lasagna, this recipe uses one pan! You are welcome. Next on my to-cook list is this book’s sweet pea lasagna with mint pesto.
