A fresh fig salad for any fall meal

This salad, which takes about five minutes to make, balances the fruit’s peak soft sweetness with the slightly bitter crunch of walnuts and a burst of fresh mint. I sometimes add pomegranate seeds, which only improves things. Our friend Julie Drucker served this salad to…

Recipes End-of-Summer Tomatoes for Yom Kippur Breakfast
As one does this time of year, I’m looking back and thinking about how I spent my time. What might I have done differently or better? More tzedakah and less Netflix jumps immediately to mind. But I’m also looking at what I’ve accomplished. And second only to launching my younger child into a life of…

Recipes Persian, Greek, Moroccan and other Yom Kippur breakfast recipes, plus kugel

This Jewish family has been making honey wine for 150 years
(JTA) — This article originally appeared on Kveller. Rachel Lipman cares deeply about preserving her Jewish family’s fifth-generation winemaking business, Loew Vineyards, but the 28-year-old is keeping an eye on the future, too.

A new gardener’s first carrots for Rosh Hashanah
I just harvested my first-ever carrots. In fact, this is my first-ever harvest. It feels monumentally significant, verging on miraculous.

Recipes Beth Lee’s ‘The Essential Jewish Baking Cookbook’ has essential Rosh Hashanah recipes
Some day in the (hopefully) not too distant future, when talk turns to how productive or unproductive we were during Covid, Beth Lee will be able to best many of us: She wrote a cookbook. Not only that, but it’s her first. And it came together in a matter of months. “The Essential Jewish Baking…

Recipes Branzino à la Frank
The fish head is a staple of the Rosh Hashanah feast, a symbol that our year should be like a head and not the tail, but you’ll usually find it relegated to the far corner of the table. Every year, I run out to the fish store before the holidays to purchase a fish head…

East Coast v. West Coast Bagels, so which are better?
In the scheme of things —Afghanistan, global warming, the Delta variant— the “Great Bagel Off” may not ask the most urgent question, and yet 2,500 people signed up to hear the answer. That’s right: 2,500. Not to actually eat bagels. Just to watch other people eat them, and decide: Which coast does have the best…
