Delicious and easy new recipes, full of flavor and color. In her new book, Estee Kafra uses her unique flair to create easy recipes from ingredients that most of us already have in our panty. The photographs are beautiful and inspired us to try many of her recipes. It is not surprising that Estee was a professional photographer before she became the Food Editor of Binah Magazine. GKC made the Miami Ribs, Sesame Salmon, Breaded Salmon Skewers, Chickpea and Couscous Salad, Green Bean Salad and the Spicy Pumpkin Cake. Every recipe impressed us, not to mention our families (a tough crowd!) and our guests. We spoke to Estee Kafra about her book, “I am honored and excited that so many have responded to my new book with such enthusiasm. I hope that you, too, enjoy the recipes and get inspired to start cooking with color! I like to make the eggplant fries often, and the pomegranate pie on the cover has been a huge success. The granola is really superb and accompanies any of those bright, delicious fruits that are just begging to be eaten!”

The hard candy is rich in color, beautiful to look at, and full of flavor. They make custom shapes, use custom colors, and even add custom names to the candy. The lollipops are extra large and thick and look almost too good to touch (go for it, you can always buy another one!)

Everything at Papabubble is made in house and the only ingredients used in most of their hard candies are sugar, glucose, water, citric acid, flavor, and color. They use only high quality flavors which are custom made to their regimented specifications. All of the lollipops are hand shaped and all of the candies with designs are hand constructed, stretched and cut.

If you are ever in NYC, go watch them and sample a piece. They make candy in the store Tuesday through Sunday at 380 Broome St. NY.NY 10013. Order some today at 212 966 2599 or visit Papabubble.com

Some history on Papabubble:

Papabubble is a custom-made and artisanal candy shop that was started in Barcelona by two Australians, Nigel Chouri and Chris King. Nigel learned the craft of candy making from a Danish man in Australia who had learned from another candy maker, who had learned from another, in a long line of candy makers reaching back to the origins of the style of candy that they make in northern Europe.

Note on their Hecksher: They are kosher certified by KC International Kosher Council, Rabbi Schwarcz. Although this hecksher approves establishments that are open on the Sabbath we had the product checked out to ensure the kashrus. According to Rabbi Pinchas Chatzinoff of Cedarhurst, NY, this product’s hecksher is recommended.

Wow, I’m honestly not sure how they do it, but “Divvies’ is delicious. Really delicious. Usually when I see the words “no nuts, no dairy, no eggs”, I’m leery; how is it going to taste without some of my favorite ingredients? But Divvies is different! They have created fun foods that people with or without allergies will love. Famous for their popcorn, “Divvies” (think divvying up and sharing) also offers delicious soft cookies (the sugar cookies are a particular favorite!), melt-in-your-mouth chocolate, the most creative cupcake decorating packs, and of course candy too. Their packaging is adorable and elegant enough to put right on the table, the chocolate bars even have markings “mine” and “yours” (I suggest getting more “mine”). Divvies’ products are perfect for kid’s lunch snacks, hostess gifts – or for any occasion. They don’t last long in our house.

Please enter here to win a large box of non-dairy, egg-free, nut-free, kosher delicious popcorn Contest ends Sunday, November 8th.
