Shame we didn’t have these little lovelies on our plates when we were being admonished by our parents to “eat your veggies!”
Rosh Hashanah
Roasted Tzimmes
This is not the sweet, gooey tzimmes of your childhood. Nope. So don’t be surprised when that old familiar flavor pales in comparison.
Easy Jewish Hanukkah Doughnuts
Don’t let the name mislead you. These doughnuts are cause for celebration in and of themselves, regardless of one’s occasion or denomination.
Spiced Gingerbread with Lemon Glaze
A tender-crumbed, gently spiced cake full of ginger and pumpkin spice flavor. A lemon glaze soaks into the cake, giving it a sweet-tangy boost.
Reuben Babka
Imagine a soft, fluffy babka with all the makings of a pastrami sandwich swirled right inside. Perfect on its own, it also makes an incredible toastie.
Pear-Cranberry Crumble
Ripe pears and sweet-tart dried cranberries are the stars of this fruit crumble. The topping is an old-fashioned mix of oatmeal, brown sugar, and butter.
Pear and Cardamom Caramel Upside-Down Cake
A moist cake with caramel and pear topping, flavored with orange and cardamom, makes a lovely dessert. Not too heavy or sweet, it’s superbly satisfying.
Spicy Cranberry Sauce
A sweet-tart little condiment to slather on everything on your holiday table. It gets a little bit of heat from ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and chile.
Pumpkin Pie Babka
This babka is full of all the flavors of fall. Pumpkin, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and a crunchy streusel topping make it unforgettable.
Dorie Greenspan’s Mocha Walnut Torte
A rich walnut torte, that happens to be gluten-free and full of chocolate and coffee flavor, is a perfect dessert for sharing. Especially when covered with rich ganache.
