Dear Friends,

Hope you're having a great February! This week, in honor of Mardi Gras, I've included a historical recipe for King Cake from my friend Gil Marks. We're also about 2 weeks away from the Jewish holiday of Purim. Below you'll find some classic Purim recipes, as well as a few vegetarian recipe ideas in honor of Queen Esther.

Want to learn more? Check out my What is Purim? page with links to holiday recipes and crafts.
KING CAKE - This brightly colored cake may very well be the culinary mascot of Mardi Gras! Learn the history behind the ring-shaped treat covered in purple, green, and gold sugar, then bake your own at home! RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.
HOW TO CLEAN AND SLICE LEEKS - If you've never cooked with leeks, this onion-like vegetable might seem a little intimidating. In this post (with a brief history and brand new video!) you'll learn how to clean and slice leeks into rings or thin strips, julienne style. TUTORIAL HERE or PIN IT for later.
KEFTES DE PRASSA - SEPHARDIC LEEK PATTIES - Once you've mastered my leek tutorial, you can put your skills to use in this tasty recipe for fried leek patties. Another delicious recipe from Gil Marks. RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.
LEMON POPPY SEED CAKE WITH LEMON GLAZE - This lemony sour cream poppy seed bundt cake is delicious year-round, but it's particularly appropriate during the Jewish holiday of Purim when many Jewish families celebrate with a vegetarian feast in honor of Esther. The meal often includes symbolic ingredients like chickpeas, nuts, and poppy seeds. RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.
HUMMUS BAKED VEGAN MOUSSAKA - For a special occasion, like Purim, this is the ultimate hearty meatless entree. Free of meat and dairy yet full of flavor, it features layers of flavorful roasted vegetables, a lentil-mushroom filling, and a delectable baked hummus topping. RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.
SPICY PANKO CHICKPEA PATTIES - These patties have become my new go-to vegetarian burger option. I like serving them on slider buns with a variety of toppings. They are also great on their own dipped in tahini sauce. RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.
