When I caught wind of The New Jewish Table: Modern Seasonal Recipes for Traditional Dishes, I wondered just how playful Todd Gray and Ellen Kassoff Gray,  would push their reinterpretation of Jewish classics. The owners of Equinox Restaurant in Washington, DC,  won me over pretty quickly.    I was lured by Smoked Salmon and Sweet Corn [...]]]> http://kosherlikeme.com/recipes/rethinking-culinary-classics/feed 4 http://kosherlikeme.com/give-away/and-the-winner-is?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=and-the-winner-is http://kosherlikeme.com/give-away/and-the-winner-is#comments Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:18:47 +0000 liz http://kosherlikeme.com/?p=5560

If you’re staying local this summer but dreaming of Paris, head to Table Verte on 7th Street in the East Village, NYC, for a taste of traditional bistro fare. Well, maybe not so traditional since Table Verte is vegetarian. And as far as I can see, it is the only French vegetarian restaurant in NYC.

  Recently, a friend of E’s, a budding Broadway star at the ripe old age of 23, asked me if I would boil up some of his college pal’s Mom’s “cool” pasta and consider sharing my thoughts with my readers.  Sure!

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 9 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?!?

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
