By Camillo Ferrari The vibe at the Lime restaurant in Norwalk, CT is a throwback to the late 70′s. Square sheets of glass protect faded, striped umber and orange tablecloths and customers’ business cards are wedged between cloth and glass. A smattering of haphazardly framed photos of early 1980′s T.V. icons hang next to kitchen [...]]]> http://kosherlikeme.com/on-the-road/naturally-delicious-at-the-lime/feed 5 http://kosherlikeme.com/recipes/welcoming-the-season-with-creamed-corn?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=welcoming-the-season-with-creamed-corn http://kosherlikeme.com/recipes/welcoming-the-season-with-creamed-corn#comments Wed, 08 May 2013 22:00:33 +0000 liz http://kosherlikeme.com/?p=5302
By Melinda Strauss With the holiday of Shavuot fast approaching, I have dairy on the brain. I tend to lean towards meat dishes and non-dairy desserts but how could I say no to this opportunity to use heavy cream and my favorite cheese, spicy pepper jack?!? With spring in the air and my favorite fruits [...]]]> http://kosherlikeme.com/recipes/welcoming-the-season-with-creamed-corn/feed 15 http://kosherlikeme.com/give-away/winner?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=winner http://kosherlikeme.com/give-away/winner#comments Wed, 08 May 2013 02:30:32 +0000 liz http://kosherlikeme.com/?p=5328
Chavie Hagler is the winner of THE NEW JEWISH TABLE cookbook! Luckily, she checked her e-mail early on May 7 and I promptly popped her copy of the book in the mail to her with plenty of time for her to receive it before Mother’s Day. I wonder if she is sharing it with some [...]]]> http://kosherlikeme.com/give-away/winner/feed 0 http://kosherlikeme.com/give-away/moms-day-give-away-trust-me?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=moms-day-give-away-trust-me http://kosherlikeme.com/give-away/moms-day-give-away-trust-me#comments Wed, 01 May 2013 21:00:42 +0000 liz http://kosherlikeme.com/?p=5140
Trust me, I won’t tell if you win this give-away and decide to slip it onto your own bookshelf. In fact, I wouldn’t blame you a bit. But, IF you are feeling generous and gearing up to honor your Mom or another special woman,  The New Jewish Table by Todd Gray and Ellen Kassoff Gray, [...]]]> http://kosherlikeme.com/give-away/moms-day-give-away-trust-me/feed 46 http://kosherlikeme.com/on-the-road/gobo-inspires-with-vegetarian-goodness?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=gobo-inspires-with-vegetarian-goodness http://kosherlikeme.com/on-the-road/gobo-inspires-with-vegetarian-goodness#comments Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:00:44 +0000 liz http://kosherlikeme.com/?p=5062
I appreciate the calm each time I tuck into Gobo, a vegetarian retreat with convenient locations in the West Village and  UES, NYC. The mostly blond and spacious interior is simply appointed with undressed wooden tables and comfortable cushioned seating. Plenty of space between tables encourages good conversation and lingering.  There is a Zen simplicity [...]]]> http://kosherlikeme.com/on-the-road/gobo-inspires-with-vegetarian-goodness/feed 18 http://kosherlikeme.com/recipes/whats-your-400?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=whats-your-400 http://kosherlikeme.com/recipes/whats-your-400#comments Wed, 17 Apr 2013 22:00:48 +0000 liz http://kosherlikeme.com/?p=4897
  You wonder how you’ve arrived at this hour, AGAIN, without being prepared. It’s not a surprise, after all, that sometime between lunch and twilight you will be rummaging through your bag or desk frantically searching for a snack to satisfy that grumbling. When that late afternoon craving finally settles in, what do you reach [...]]]> http://kosherlikeme.com/recipes/whats-your-400/feed 19 http://kosherlikeme.com/on-the-road/all-greek-and-loving-every-bite?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=all-greek-and-loving-every-bite http://kosherlikeme.com/on-the-road/all-greek-and-loving-every-bite#comments Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:03:55 +0000 liz http://kosherlikeme.com/?p=4833
When Maria Loi, owner and chef of  Loi Restaurant  in NYC, read my Kosher Like Me business card she grabbed me by the hand and insisted that I follow her. I slung my bag over the back of my chair before I had even taken my seat,  waved to my dinner companions, who looked both amused and  baffled (I could hear them [...]]]> http://kosherlikeme.com/on-the-road/all-greek-and-loving-every-bite/feed 12 http://kosherlikeme.com/in-the-kitchen/brazilian-foodie-shares-traditions-and-recipes?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=brazilian-foodie-shares-traditions-and-recipes http://kosherlikeme.com/in-the-kitchen/brazilian-foodie-shares-traditions-and-recipes#comments Wed, 03 Apr 2013 22:12:01 +0000 liz http://kosherlikeme.com/?p=4757
By Melissa Roberts On a recent, chilly March evening, members of the Westport, CT Chabad community were treated to a taste from the warmer shores of Brazil, featuring chef Leticia Moreinos Schwartz.  Leticia, a graduate of the French Culinary Institute in New York and a Weston, CT resident by way of Rio, honed her considerable skills [...]]]> http://kosherlikeme.com/in-the-kitchen/brazilian-foodie-shares-traditions-and-recipes/feed 10 http://kosherlikeme.com/recipes/quinoa-filled-squash-boats-for-passover?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=quinoa-filled-squash-boats-for-passover http://kosherlikeme.com/recipes/quinoa-filled-squash-boats-for-passover#comments Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:00:47 +0000 liz http://kosherlikeme.com/?p=4731
As we wind our way through Passover week, it’s great fun to experiment with ingredients that fit the bill as perfectly as quinoa does. This vegetarian dish brings bright colors and textures together for this elegant side dish or entree.

Desperate for something to eat as the  Passover Seder progression delays the dinner, we welcome the moment when we are free to pile charoset on matzah. Ironic, isn’t it, that while charoset represents the mortar used to make bricks when we were slaves in Egypt, it is somehow, the tastiest symbol at the Passover Seder? While almost [...]]]> http://kosherlikeme.com/recipes/passover-charoset-with-a-fruity-fragrant-twist/feed 16
