I haven’t planned my menu yet, I’m making one meal with a friend, we’ll split the cooking and I need to check in with her , because she and one of her kids has severe allergies. I’m out one meal, and then I have my sil and kids for another , so she’ll prob share the cooking. I have a seminary girl moving in for the yom tov as well, so will be a busy one!
I do a braided crown ring that my mother in law taught me for rosh hashana. I love raisins in challah, but one of my kids doesn’t so I might do some with some without.
I keep night meals simple, because we have a ‘Seder’ of simanim, so by the time we’ve eaten that, we don’t want a big main meal.
Simanim I usually do;
apples in honey (of course!),
pomegrantes by themselves.
Simple chopped beets, just sprinkled with mustard seeds.
Butternut squash soup.
Sliced leeks with a creamy dressing on (during the year I’d add cashews, but we don’t eat nuts on Rosh Hashana).
Salmon head on the table (don’t eat from it, bc of the risk of insects making it not kosher). In England we also did jelly fish (sweets, just the heads!) but they don’t sell them in Israel. Dates, just halved.
Salmon; I’ve got a bunch of recipes I will look at.
occasionally I do grated carrots with mandarin and pomegranate seeds salad. I’m quite tempted to do Moroccan carrot salad ( cooked sliced carrots, cumin, lemon, paprika , fresh coriander, fresh parsley, fresh garlic, salt pepper and oil, Jamie ‘s recipe , although I do often change quantities of flavourings, I like to boost the lemon and garlic and cumin)
thats the usual starter so it’s a lot! Haven’t planned lunches or night meals main course yet. I don’t really do much dessert usually, and I don’t love honey cake 😅
