This
one is a little different in that the meat is mixed with minced
vegetables and spices before baking. In this picture, I have placed the
mini loaf on a bed of shredded raw Brussels Sprouts, sliced mushrooms,
and heirloom tomatoes tossed with a little vinaigrette and a splash of
pomegranate molasses-just because I had it in the fridge.<br />

Don’t pack the meat too tightly or the loaves will be heavy. Arrange loaves on prepared jelly roll pans and bake them 45-50 minutes.

They also make a great lunch or picnic dish. For lunch: Allow the loaves to come to room temperature. Slice them and arrange slices attractively on a platter surrounding roasted vegetables or rice salad- or both. For a picnic: Put a couple of slices of meat loaf between two slices of fresh Italian bread with a thick slice of tomato and romaine lettuce. It’s wonderful.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Pour vegetable oil in soup pot.

Cook one hour or until vegetables are very tender. Add dill. Taste. Add salt and pepper as needed.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Note: As with other soups made with grains, it is best to strain the broth from the solids when you make the soup a day in advance of serving it. If you choose not to do this, know that the barley will absorb much of the liquid and the soup will thicken. In this case, you can add more pareve vegetable broth or water to thin the soup until it reaches the desired consistency.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Naturally, homemade tomato sauce and fresh cheese are the best; but the results will still be good if you save yourself some time and work and use bottled sauce and packaged shredded cheese. I’m giving you guidelines for amounts; but this is a recipe you can truly adjust to your own taste. You can use more or less sauce and cheese as you wish. </span></div>

Sprinkle about 5 ounces of mozzarella and one tablespoon of grated parmesan over the spinach. Pour 1-1 ½ cups of tomato sauce over cheese. Press three more lasagna noodles into the sauce and repeat the process two more times. The top layer of noodles should be covered with tomato sauce, mozzarella and parmesan.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Our whirlwind started on Monday at the<a href="http://kosherfoodbloggers.com/" rel="nofollow"> Kosher Food Bloggers Conference</a> held at the NYU Chabad House. Melinda Strauss (@<a href="http://kitchen-tested.com/" rel="nofollow">Kitchen Tested</a>) and Special Event Producer for Joy of Kosher organized an amazing group of speakers : 1. Casey Benedict-“What Brands Won’t Tell You: Blogger Strengths and Insider Tips, 2. Dana Bonagura-Food Styling tip and Tricks, 3. Aron Schoenfeld- Networking and Branding, 4. Dan Rosenberg (Harvard Common Press) and Stacy Glick (Dystel and Goderich Literary Agency), and 5. Mara Strom-Kosher On a Budget- How to Make Money from your Blog. The day was broken up with a beautifully presented lunch. As we left, we received a swag bag of assorted goodies! Off to Kosherfeast we went.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Kosherfeast was professionally chaired by Roberta Scher @<a href="http://koshereye.com/" rel="nofollow">Koshereye</a> and Esti Berkowitz @<a href="http://www.primetimeparenting.com/" rel="nofollow">Primetimeparent</a>. What a crowd we were piling into <a href="http://www.jezebelsoho.com/" rel="nofollow">JSoho</a>. It was a very special evening not only because we were able to talk to so many people involved with kosher food; but some very special personalities were honored as Kosher Pioneers: Susie Fishbein-Facebook.com, Laura Frankel-@<a href="http://www.cheflauraskosher.com/" rel="nofollow">Chef Laurakoshe</a>r, Norene Gilletz-@ Norenecooks, <a href="http://www.gourmania.com/" rel="nofollow">Gourmania.com</a>, David Herzog- Royalwine.com<a href="http://www.royalwine.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.royalwine.com</a>, Levana Kirschenbaum- @ <a href="http://www.levanacooks.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">LevanaCooks</a>, Menachem Lubinsky, @<a href="http://www.koshertoday.com/" rel="nofollow">Koshertoday</a>, Gil Marks- @Jewishfoods, <a href="http://gilmarks.com/wordpress/?p=234" rel="nofollow">GilMarks.com</a>, and Joan Nathan- @ joan nathan, Joannathan.com<a href="http://www.joannathan.com/">http://www.joannathan.com</a>. These women and men have been at the forefront of Kosher food-ever pushing the envelope and making us all more informed for it. It was wonderful to see them honored. Each received an engraved soup ladle. I would love to be at any of their tables.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">And then there was a surprise category of four honorees! I admit to being engrossed in conversation as I thought I heard my name-and I did! I was honored with the Kosher Cutting Edge award for my Kosher Cookbook App. Wow! Was I surprised as I stepped forward and was handed a Sora chef’s knife engraved with the words: Cutting Edge Kosher- KosherFeast-2013. This award was made even more special because my daughter was there and also because of the three other people also honored in this category: Jamie Geller-for creating the world of <a href="http://www.joyofkosher.com/" rel="nofollow">Joy of Kosher</a>, Jesse Blonder-for starting the first <a href="http://www.kosherculinaryarts.com/" rel="nofollow">Kosher Culinary Arts Program</a>, and Alex Rapoport for being the executive of the <a href="http://www.masbia.org/" rel="nofollow">Masbia Kitchen Network</a> which feeds the needy.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Much has been said, in fact, great grumbling has taken place, about the service and the food at JSoho. To be honest, neither was stellar. The staff seemed flustered and unable to handle the crowd; in particular the people who arrived late-due to traffic. Most people I spoke to were disappointed with the portions and the preparation of the food. I did speak to one gentleman who said his steak was moist and delicious-mine not. If you were fortunate to get a glass of delicious Merlot as I did, you were lucky. The pouring was helter skelter so you never really knew what you were getting. In past years, the spirit coming from the management of the restaurants- Solo and Abigail’s- was very gracious. Different appetizers kept coming so that by the time you had your main course, it wouldn’t have mattered if it was small-and it wasn’t. That was not the case at JSoho. Maybe something happened in the kitchen that we don’t know about. Who knows? I can testify that the evening was a success. People enjoyed being together and there was a warm happy feeling in the room. I look forward to another Kosher Feast next year!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
What can I say about Kosherfest? I should have studied the
list of vendors before I went; but I didn’t-so I missed some I hope to contact
in the future. I had the opportunity of seeing Norene Gilletz! I talked to so
many amazing people that I will not name again because I posted pictures of
them on my Kosher Cookbook page. We are an interesting community-we kosher food
people. We represent all age groups and all levels of religious observance and
we are all committed to making Kosher food as healthy, gourmet and beautifully
presented as possible. Each of us has their own style and particular area of
concentration; but we are all working together to bring kosher food to the
highest level possible. I prefer to think of it as creating and preparing
delicious food that just happens to be kosher.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The whirlwind is still whirling as we each document our
experiences with pictures and prose. On a more personal note-my new <a href="http://website-www.kosherbygloria.com/" target="_blank">website-www.Kosherbygloria.com</a>
is almost completed.<span> </span>I hope you’ll all
enjoy it and continue this journey with me. </div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The goal for this recipe was to create a dish that would satisfy the menus for both Chanukah and Thanksgiving. Pumpkin and corn signify Thanksgiving. Add a little cinnamon, allspice and ginger, turn it all into fritter batter, fry and you have the requisite oil for Chanukah. Taste the pumpkin before you start to add the spices and honey. Adjust the measurements accordingly. The fritters are best when eaten right after they’ve been fried. They won’t last longer than that anyway!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What a perfect way to use up some of that zucchini in your garden! Choose the narrow ones which are more flavorful and not waterlogged. Adding a potato to the soup turns it into a zucchini flavored vichyssoise. Preparing the soup without the potato gives you more of a zucchini broth. Both are delicious and both can be eaten hot or cold. Garnish with home made croutons or fried zucchini.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Farro
is a grain that is very healthy and easy to prepare. It has a chewy
texture and a somewhat nutty taste. When you toss farro (or any grain)
with dressing right after it has finished cooking, while still warm, the
grain absorbs the flavor more fully. Add an assortment of colorful
vegetables and herbs after it has cooled and you have a healthy,
delicious, beautiful side dish for dinner. Serve it with some wonderful
crusty bread and you have a great lunch.</span></div>

platter. Serve tomato sauce on the side.</span></div>

<div>
My imagination was challenged when HaDassah Sabo Milner told
me I would be receiving turkey parts from KOL Foods. What could I do
that was fresh and new?</div>
I started to remember all the stuffed
vegetables I saw in Istanbul and decided to stuff endive leaves with the
chopped turkey mixed with the Turkish trilogy of herbs: mint, parsley
and dill. Unlike chopped steak, you can't taste chopped turkey until
it's cooked; so as I added the herbs, salt and pepper etc. I
concentrated hard that the proportions were right. Success! Everyone
loved my creation from the most critical adult at the table (my son) to
my adventurous mini gourmets (my grandchildren). <br />
</div>
Thank you again KOL Foods and HaDassah Sabo Milner. Now I'll work on the turkey legs!<br />

replacing the margarine with vegetable oil. I also added about 1 cup of
packaged shredded coconut to the crumbs. You can replace the crumbs with
ground nuts or even matzah meal for Passover. This is a delicious
recipe that is good hot or room temp.</div>

I just spent four hours with the incredible Noah Fecks- photographer
extraordinaire! I was part of a group of foodies anxious to learn more
about food photography. The event was organized by Melinda Strauss (
Founder of Kosher Food Bloggers Conference, Kitchen Tested Blog,
Director of Special Events for Joy of Kosher…)Not only was there
inspiration for the mind but individual pastries were generously
provided by Sapienza Bake Shop: </span><a href="http://www.sapienzabakeshop.com/"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">www.sapienzabakeshop.com</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">. But now back to photography-</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Noah
opened his tutorial with unpacking his equipment. He not only explained
each piece but also told us how much we should spend on it-constantly
counseling us that we can be sure that we will break or lose some piece
of equipment at some time; so we should be able to realistically replace
it. Here is a list of the more important items a photographer should
have: Small and medium clamps, light stand, extra small umbrella (Noah
prefers them to have shiny silver lining), speed ring and soft box,
Elenchrom D-Lite 4 with modeling light, monoblock with 7 inch reflector
with grid, bounce cards in black and white (double sided matte board
that is cut so that it is bendable), nifty 50 lens and 100 lens, arctic
butterfly for cleaning lens, Gorilla Pod, and last but not least-
blotting papers for wiping grease off people’s faces.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Advice: No wind or heat on the equipment</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> No zoom ever!</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The
bigger the light source, the closer the image will appear. The smaller
the light source, the farther away the image will appear.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Shoot brighter than you think you need. You can adjust it later.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Did
you know that pillow cases are the right size for placing under many
food items. Noah said napkins were usually too small-and that if those
wrinkles bother you, iron the pillow case before taking the pictures!
Make sure you have flatware, plastic squares/frogs to lift or tilt your
plate- basically any assortment of props you think you’ll need. Advance
prep cuts down your work in the end. A man after my own heart!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Most
shocking statement of the morning: Don’t use natural light. It doesn’t
last long and you can’t depend on it. Set up your lighting yourself and
backlight.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Noah keeps THREE copies of all his work in fire proof boxes!!!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Can
I promise you better pix on my part? Noah told me to switch from my
iPhone to my Canon point and shoot; and I promised I would try. At least
I don’t have to adjust all the shutter speeds etc. that many of the
other participants were doing with much better and more complicated
cameras. I will go out and buy the bounce cards so I can have better
control of shadows- and maybe even the clamps and gorilla pod! I
understand a lot more than I did before. If my pix don’t improve, it is
not the fault of the teacher. Noah is the consummate professional. He is
charming, not intimidating, and has a great sense of humor. Noah
clearly loves what he does and is eager to inspire others. His students
at Parsons are lucky indeed.</span>Gloria Kobrinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11996033812153476707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865552632221900067.post-53202702394564648342013-03-07T22:56:00.000-05:002013-03-07T22:56:33.661-05:00 ORANGE SHELLS FILLED WITH STRAWBERRY SORBET (recipe, pareve) <div dir="ltr" id="internal-source-marker_0.5060510072948332" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 21.6pt; margin-right: 21.6pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

oranges. Remove any labels. Halve oranges and cut a thin slice off the
bottom of each half so that they can stand solidly. Juice them in an
electric juicer.(You can do it by hand, but I find that the strength of
the electric juicer produces a smoother orange shell on the inside.)
Take care not to press down too hard or the shell will crack. Pour juice
into a covered container and enjoy it. Arrange orange shells in a
shallow container that can be frozen.</span></div>

place them in the bowl of electric food processor. Sprinkle sugar over

berries until they are slushy. Add lemon juice and egg white and

about 1/2 cup of sorbet into each orange shell. Place the filled orange
shells-uncovered- into the freezer. Any extra sorbet can fill more

serve in 1 ½ -2 hours. If you freeze them overnight, let them soften at
least 20 minutes before serving. Garnish each sorbet cup with mint, if

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Note:
As with other soups made with grains, it is best to strain the broth
from the solids when you make the soup a day in advance of serving it.
If you choose not to do this, know that the barley will absorb much of
the liquid and the soup will thicken. In this case, you can add more
pareve vegetable broth or water to thin the soup until it reaches the
desired consistency.</span></div>
