Thanks for listening and thanks for supporting our friends and neighbors in the food-service industry!

Though it is published by Green Bean Books, Babka, Boulou & Blintzes: Jewish Chocolate Recipes from Around the World (which has been compiled by Michael Leventhal) is not so much about nutritious, but it makes up for it with DELICIOUS!

As he is also the author of the award-winning children’s book The Chocolate King and an experienced chocolate eater, Leventhal knows of which he compiles and has chosen some of the best friends and colleagues to participate.

In addition to covering the history of our favorite foods, Babka, Boulou & Blintzes also shines a sweet spotlight on Jewish contributions to the worlds of chocolate and food. It also offers recipes from over 50 balabusta bakers, including Joan Nathan’s chocolate mandel cake, Claudia Roden’s Inquisition-worthy Spanish hot chocoalte, Michael Solomonov’s chocolate-alomnd “situation,” Alan Rosenthal’s chocolate chili, and some fish-free dark chocolate and roasted beetroot ice cream from our friends at the Gefilteria. There is even a contribution from Rabbi (and chocolate-minded author) Deborah Prinz whose Basque chocolate cake is a historical revelation!

In the interest of equity and justice, the book also includes savory and naturally gluten-free and vegan recipes to cater to a variety of dietary requirements and levels of chocoholism. In the interest of tzedakah, proceeds are being donared to Chai Cancer Care and can be purchased at www.chaicancercare.org/chocolate and at www.greenbeanbooks.com.
