Recipes Each Flavor was a Journey
When I came across the Zurückgeben grant, which supports creative projects of Jewish women living in Germany, I decided to present a documentary proposal on a Jewish topic. I worked hard to get the figures; concept and team together, but in the last minute the main character of the story desisted on taking part of…

Recipes Israel’s Four O’Clock Meal
In the afternoon you become somewhat hungry and restless, and can’t find anything to revive yourself. Lunch has been consumed and forgotten, and you haven’t started preparing supper, so you open the refrigerator or the pantry, but find only vegetables and canned food that don’t meet your growing need to bite into something tasty and…

Recipes Whisky-Infused Cocoa ‘Honey’ Cake
For once I have not stopped to ponder all the ups and downs of the last year, which is something I tend to do monthly, if not weekly. So the fact that I’ve forgotten to do this in the days leading up to Rosh Hashanah is a minor victory for the semi-neurotic. Frankly speaking, the…

Recipes Rocky Mountain Challah (With Tofu!)

“Would You Make This?” is a sporadic new column where personal chef Alix Wall evaluates a new cookbook by making two of its recipes, sharing them with friends and asking what they think of the results. Hi, my name is Alix and I’m a member of the cult. The cult of Ottolenghi, that is. I…

Recipes DIY Rosh Hashanah Hard Apple Cider
The only High Holiday where alcohol is a requirement is Simchat Torah. This is a mistake. Let me explain: Drinking is a part of Simchat Torah because a rabbinic interpretation for the commandment to rejoice on festivals is to drink wine. Yet the rabbis never specify Simchat Torah. As it says in Sifra Emor 12:4,…

Recipes Send Us Your Rosh Hashanah Cooking Questions!
Rosh Hashanah is the perfect holiday to bring out all the stops in your kitchen. Without the restrictions of Passover, it’s a great time to get creative (I’m thinking Asian BBQ brisket) or lovingly revive a special family recipe. But cooking a holiday meal for your family or friends can be intimidating, whether you’ve done…
