Two quick things for you tonight:
Thing one:
No no, not THAT thing one. That Thing One was for this Thing One (and her Thing 2, a certain Tornado)
Thing ONE:
HAPPY HANUKKAH!!!
Thing TWO:
Just in time for Hanukkah, Chef Levana Kirschenbaum, is offering up one of her cookbooks to one lucky reader.
Levana pioneered Kosher gourmet dining years back when she opened a restaurant of the same name. She now teaches cooking classes in New York City and has published three cookbooks, with a fourth on the way! Levana’s unfussy, straightforward approach utilizes fresh, all natural ingredients to create cuisine influenced by her native Morocco, as well as other international culinary flavors. On her website, LevanaCooks.com she shares delectable recipes (that you don’t have to be Jewish to appreciate!), and tweets cooking tips at @LevanaCooks on twitter.
To enter to win, go to LevanaCooks.com and tell me which of Levana’s cookbooks you’d like to win and why (even “it sounds interesting” is a good reason!)
For additional entries:
- tweet about the contest: I’d like to win a cookbook from @levanacooks and @imadedinner and leave an additional comment letting me know you’ve done so
- Link back to this contest on your blog and comment to tell me you’ve done so
We’ll start the contest tonight, the first night of Hanukkah, and we’ll announce the winner next Friday, the LAST night of Hanukkah.
Have a wonderful night, and Happy Hanukkah!

Happy Hanukkah, Mara!
Growing up in the south I didn’t know too many Jewish people, but I did have one Jewish friend and I always remember being so jealous that she had 8 nights of presents to my one morning! hehe
The cookbook I think looks most interesting to me currently is “In Short Order.” Kind of like a 30 minute meal, but I like that she kept health in mind, b/c I feel sometimes Racheal Ray could be a BIT more healthier!

I would pick In Short Order because it always seems like I don’t have enough time to cook, especially on weeknights.

The short order book seems perfect for my personal menu making- as clearly my nights are getting busier and busier lately!
Happy Hanukkah! I would also try the short order book because I like making amazing meals in no time at all.
Levana’s Table sounds like my kind of cook book…simple recipes!
Tweet sent! I would love “Levana Cooks Dairy-Free”. I have to give up all dairy due to medical & not sure how?! SO hard!

Levana’s Table sound great because I don’t know the first thing about Jewish cooking and it looks like a great place to start!

Happy Hanukkah! I think I’d like the Levana’s Table cookbook, especially with its Moroccan influences, as it says. I’m always on the hunt for Moroccan-inspired recipes!
in short order because i am always rushing thanks
I think the cookbook In Short Order would be great because it also comes with a DVD that demonstrates over 30 of the dishes.
I don’t tweet or know how to link, can’t we get points just for being loyal email subscribers?
Great giveaway, thanks and Happy Holidays!
In Short Order seems like the perfect cookbook because I’m all about nutritious and delicious food FAST! When I come home for lunch or dinner I’m hangry and I need something that doesn’t take an hour to prepare.
Happy Hanukkah!!

LEVANA COOKS DAIRY-FREE! dairy sometimes makes me real sick and stomache pains so this is my choice
I would like the Short Order book as it always seems like I am in such a hurry and my husband doesn’t work regulare hours so it is sometimes hard to plan a meal. this sounds like it would be wonderful.
I would love to check out the cooking dairy free book because it seems like an interesting concept to me.

In Short Order looks fun…I think that’s the one I’d like if I win!
Happy Hanukkah! I would love to get my hands on the In Short Order book because we have a busy family life and I need all the help I can get to feed them!
Happy Hanukkah to you! The “In Short Order” book sounds good. That’s the one I would most like to try.
I think the IN SHORT ORDER book sould like a good one for me.
IN SHORT ORDER = Most definitely one that I am in need of
I would love a copy of Levana’s Table because I’m always looking for new recipes, and the Moroccan ones in this book look especially
All three of her books sound great. I like in Short Order because I know I have limited time to devote to cooking on a daily basis, and I do want to put together a nutritious and delicious meal for my family.

I would love to have LEVANA’S TABLE. I love exploring the different tastes and techniques of Sephardic cuisine as opposed to the more familiar flavors of Ashkenazi cooking.
The In Short Order looks great and I love that it has a DVD to show me which is even better.

I’d LOVE to win Levana Cooks Dairy Free. The (pareve) cheesecake looks so good! This cookbook would have helpful recipes that I could serve on Shabbos and Yom Tov with meat meals. Thanks!
I’m going to tweet about the contest now @kashrutnews.
Hi! I would love to win the Dairy Free cookbook – I’m always on the hunt for good pareve dishes!

I’d like Levana Cooks Dairy Free because some members of my family are lactose intolerant.
