A version of this article originally appeared in the Yiddish Forverts.
In this episode of “Est Gezunterheyt” (Eat In Good Health), Yiddish food scholar and gourmet chef Eve Jochnowitz and I demonstrate how to make cabbage strudel — a traditional dish for Sukkot.
Strudel — a Hungarian pastry — is usually sweet, filled with apples and sugar or raisins and nuts.
In this clip, we show you how to make a savory strudel that can serve as the main dish of the festive meal eaten in the sukkah.
My favorite part of the clip come towards the end, when we stretch out the dough in the air together. I’d never done this with dough before. It was kind of a magical moment and the result was amazing.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
