This aromatic, flavorful, juicy chicken is drizzled with honey white wine sauce. A delicious option for Rosh Hashanah, or any special occasion!
Tzimmes. What is it? How do you pronounce it? And most important, how do you make it? Here’s my favorite stovetop recipe for this simple and sweet root vegetable stew!
A moist and flavorful loaf cake. Perfect for Rosh Hashanah, dairy free and so delicious.
Pomegranate Molasses Brisket – a slow roasted brisket infused with the rich flavor of pomegranate molasses, garlic, and spice.
Saffron Rice – a simple, savory side dish for Rosh Hashanah or any day. Delicious and easy to prepare, with lots of flavor. One of my favorites!
What better way to celebrate the Jewish New Year than with a sweetly symbolic beverage – Rosh Hashanah Sangria! This delightful drink is a fun way to discuss the symbolism of the holiday with your guests, because it includes many traditional Rosh Hashanah ingredients.
How to make pomegranate molasses, also known as pomegranate syrup. Use syrup as a sauce, marinade, dressing, or a sweet and tart dessert topping.

FAMILY FUN: ROSH HASHANAH COLORING SHEET & NECKLACE CRAFT
Here’s something fun to keep the kids busy while you’re finishing up those last touches on your Rosh Hashanah dinner: a coloring sheet for Rosh Hashanah! You can also make it into a necklace with a hole punch, scissors, and string or twine.
These recipes sound amazing. This is my first Jewish holiday as I’m in the beginning stages of my conversion. Any advice on how to make the day special for my boyfriend and I? Its our first celebration together.
I hope you’re enjoying your holiday! Wishing you a healthy and happy new year as well. 🙂
Hi Tori, I made your saffron rice and the apple cupcakes for the holiday meal last night. Both were wonderful. I even did the little paper cut-outs for them. I was hesitant to make your brisket for my whole extended family meal since my in-laws all tell me I make the best brisket they’ve ever tasted, but I will try your recipe when I’m cooking for my immediate family. The pomigranate sounds really interesting. Thanks for continuing to provide such great recipes and such upbeat vibes, too.
Shana Tova to you,
Diane
yummy honey apple cake receipe
Oh my gosh this meal sounds amazing! Definitely jealous of those that get to eat this =)
Oh my I want to come to your place for a meal really bad. You just amaze me Tori. So much talent. Hope you are doing well.
What a great re-cap, Tori. I can’t believe it’s already here….I’ve not seen the vegetable stew (and I cannot pronounce it!) so I’m headed over to check it out.
Happy New Year!
OMG. Pomegranate brisket sounds amazing. I’ve done a 5-Spice version, but this sounds perfect for Rosh. This Farfel recipe would be a great compliment if you skipped the saffron rice.
