Have you heard of the famous Marian Burros Plum torte? First published in the New York Times by Marian Burros in 1983, the recipe was published every year after that until 1995, when the editor of the Times decided that people just needed to clip it, laminate it and put it on their fridge once…
Welcome in fall with the comfort of warm spices and sweet apples. Use the power of the slow cooker to turn even those sad, bruised apples into a smooth apple butter that’s perfect for your Rosh Hashanah meal and holiday snacks. Slather it on some challah or spoon it on top of a roast—there are…
Recipe contributed by Ellie Ashoori. Fesenjoon (also known as fesenjan) is a staple at Persian Jewish simchas—weddings and engagement parties, b’nai mitzvot and brits. There are two reasons. First, turkey is considered a more luxurious and gamey meat in Iran, and second, walnuts have always been considered a more pricey and festive ingredient (as is pomegranate…
Shiraz is the Persian city of poets and the closest to the tribal regions of Iran, where my inspiration for this salad originated. This salad is a favorite throughout the Silk Road region and can be found, with slight variations, in almost every country there. Editor’s note: Shiraz was one of the three main cities…
The red pomegranate, native to Iran and cultivated there for at least 4,000 years, is considered the fruit of heaven. The fruit grows on large bushes or small trees, whose crimson flowers brighten the pale mud walls of villages in Iran, Spain and Italy. Pomegranates, ranging in taste from sweet to sour-sweet, have a special…
Leeks are a traditional ingredient in the Sephardic Rosh Hashanah menu. In our local area, spinach makes a reappearance after the hot summer so it is featured as a “new” vegetable. In Italy, frittata is traditionally served room temperature in wedges. It is also great served warm with chopped tomatoes, basil and olive oil spooned…
Blintzes are typically associated with Shavuot, but topped with seasonal apple compote and honey compote, they really seem better suited to Rosh Hashanah. This year they’ll be part of the holiday menu at DGS Delicatessen.
These are the most delightful, simple-to-make and—best of all—easy-to-eat honey snap biscuits, perfect for Rosh Hashanah (or any time of year). Huge thanks to Carolyn Levitt in Perth for sharing her great recipe with us. We hope to put the recipe in our fourth book—sweet only—due out in 2019. Both the dough and the biscuits…
On a rainy Tuesday, I set out to create the dough of my mother’s tales. She often bragged that my grandmother, Esther Weinstein, a Russian immigrant all of five feet tall and the owner of the Pittsburgh delicatessen that bore her name, made strudel dough for the restaurant on her dining room table, where she…
Bursting with an offbeat combination of flavors, this dish is inspired by a classic Moroccan recipe. It most resembles the classic tagine, a stew-like dish with salty, sweet and tart flavors. Most of the traditional ingredients remain in this veganized recipe; the baked tofu stands in for the chicken customarily used in this dish. Don’t…
