  • Margrit Mondavi's Blini
    Margrit Mondavi’s Blini © Janet Fletcher / Planet Cheese www.janetfletcher.com Ingredients: • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour • 1/4 cup buckwheat flour • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda • 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt • 1 large egg, beaten • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, or more if needed • 2 tablespoons clarified butter, or more if needed, melted • 6 to 8 ounces smoked salmon or smoked trout • 1/3 cup labneh, crème fraîche or sour cream • Fresh dill or thinly sliced chives for garnish Directions: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Add the dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients and whisk well to blend. The batter should be a little thinner than pancake batter. Transfer it to a container with a pour spout. Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, be sure it rests level on the burner. When hot, brush lightly with melted butter. Carefully pour enough batter onto the griddle to spread into a 2-inch circle (or any size you like). Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the blini begin to brown lightly around the edges, about 45 seconds. Turn with an offset spatula and cook on the second side until done, about 45 seconds. Taste the first one or two and adjust the heat or timing as needed. Transfer the first batch of blini to a serving platter. Brush with melted butter. Top while hot with a piece of smoked salmon, a dollop of labneh and a sprig of dill or sprinkle of chives.

  • Sweets from the Middle East (Part 1)
    VOLUMEVOLUME XVI, XXIV, NUMBER NUMBER 4 4 FALL FALL 2000 2008 Quarterly Publication of the Culinary Historians of Ann Arbor Sweets from the Middle East (Part 1) This decoratively carved wooden mold is used in making ma'moul, kleicha, and other famous Arab pastries, including the dill cookies shown here. Photo courtesy of Nawal Nasrallah from her book Delights from the Garden of Eden: A Cookbook and a History of the Iraqi Cuisine. Turn to page 4 inside for Prof. Nasrallah’s article about kleicha. REPAST VOLUME XXIV, NUMBER 4 FALL 2008 Editor’s Note on Baklava Second Helpings Allowed! Charles Perry, who wrote the article “Damascus Cuisine” in our last issue, was the editor of a book Medieval Arab Cookery (Prospect Books, 2001) that sheds further light on the origins of baklava, the Turkish sweet discussed by Sheilah Kaufman in this issue. A dish described in a 13th-Century Baghdad cookery Sweets from the manuscript appears to be an early version of baklava, consisting of thin sheets of bread rolled around a marzipan-like filling of almond, sugar, and rosewater (pp. 84-5). The name given to this Middle East, Part 2 sweet was lauzinaj, from an Aramaic root for “almond”. Perry argues (p. 210) that this word gave birth to our term lozenge, the diamond shape in which later versions of baklava were often Scheduled for our Winter 2009 issue— sliced, even up to today. Interestingly, in modern Turkish the word baklava itself is used to refer to this geometrical shape. • Joan Peterson, “Halvah in Ottoman Turkey” Further information about the Baklava Procession mentioned • Tim Mackintosh-Smith, “A Note on the by Sheilah can be found in an article by Syed Tanvir Wasti, Evolution of Hindustani Sweetmeats” “The Ottoman Ceremony of the Royal Purse”, Middle Eastern Studies 41:2 (March 2005), pp.
