Recipes Rosh Hashanah Recipes And Reveries From Joy Of Kosher’s Jamie Geller

Recipes Crunchy Potato Kugel Cups
The cup idea comes from my husband’s best friend Adam’s mom, Geanie (what a mouthful). Hubby remembers going to their house on Saturday nights and raiding the fridge for these cups.

Recipes Levana’s Easy Sweet-And-Sour Brisket
Adapted from “Levana’s Table: Kosher Cooking For Everyone,” by Levana Kirschenbaum, I have taken some liberties with this recipe.

Quivering cranberry slices melt into the meat and slowly caramelize to give this brisket its lovely character. The cranberry make it sweetish, but the onions help give it a wonderfully balanced taste. Make it the day before you are going to serve it. This recipe is adapted from the recipe of Roberta Greenberg, assistant to…
