Lham Lahlou
Lemonade
(American lemon beverage)
Freshly made lemonade is a summertime favorite in the United States, where ramshackle stands selling glasses of the sweet-tart beverage are a favorite way for children to earn a little spending money.
Lekach
(Israeli Jewish honey cake)
This spiced honey cake is a traditional dessert during Rosh Hashanah when sweet dishes symbolize a sweet New Year on the Jewish calendar.
Lefse
(Norwegian potato flatbread)
Lefse is a flatbread from Norway — similar to a flour tortilla or chapati — that is generally made with a potato-based dough and grilled on a flat griddle.
Leems
(Moroccan preserved lemons)
Preserved lemons are a common pickle in North Africa. Their intense lemon flavor is valued as a bright addition to soups, stews and tagines.
Lecsó
(Hungarian simmered peppers and tomatoes)
Originally a Serbian dish, lecsó has been fully assimilated into the Magyar kitchen. This simple pepper and tomato ragout is served both as a side dish and as an appetizer in Hungary.
Le Grand Aïoli
(French Provençal cod and vegetables with garlic mayonnaise)
This garlic lovefest is from the Provence region of France. Hand-made garlic mayonnaise is served with poached cod and seasonal vegetables.
Law Bok Gow
(Chinese steamed radish cake)
Law bok gow is a favorite Cantonese dim sum treat, especially popular during Chinese New Year celebrations.
Lavash
(Southwest Asian thin flatbread)
Authentic lavash isn’t the soft, doughy version used for wraps that is found in most American markets. While freshly baked lavash has a soft, flexible texture, it quickly becomes crisp and crunchy.
Latkes
(Israeli Jewish potato pancakes)
Jewish latkes are a favorite treat year round, but are especially popular during Hanukkah when foods fried in oil are traditional.
