Rosh Hashanah

Brimming with a mountain of sweet apples and redolent of sugar and spice and everything nice, this homemade pie unabashedly plays apple favorites.

Honey and cayenne lend these carrots a sweet heat that's perfectly lovely alongside just about anything.

Sweet and tangy and fall-apart tender. That's what we think of this crowd-pleasing braised brisket that makes us go weak in the knees.

You're going to swoon to the sharp, briny, citrusy flavors of this authentic Moroccan tagine. No special pot required.

This is not the sweet, gooey tzimmes of your childhood. Nope. So don't be surprised when that old familiar flavor pales in comparison.

"Much more sophisticated than the turnovers from my childhood." "Very subtly sweet." That's what folks are saying.

Rich, slightly sweet, and chewy in the best way, this Jewish challah is a stunner. Perfect for shabbat and Rosh Hashanah.

Sweet and savory collide in this old-time apple jelly that you can slather on toast, plop on a cheese plate, or take by the spoonful.

Because mom loves flowers, sweets, and beautifiul things. Can you just imagine these delicate little lovelies strewn across her fave cake?!

Crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and pretty damn indulgent with gooey Cheddar through and through.

OGM. No, we don't mean OMG. We mean OGM. As in, "Oh, garam masala." That's how incredible this sweet and earthy loveliness is.

We can imagine all manner of occasions where this easy, last-minute phyllo phenom would be welcome. Can't you?

If you go weak in the knees at the mere thought of crisp skin on a roast hen, your day just got a heck of a lot better.

Shame we didn't have these little lovelies on our plates when we were being admonished by our parents to "eat your veggies!"

Mother Nature is a savvy, savvy hostess. We know this because endive makes the perfect platter-to-piehole vehicle for cheese.

These lovely latkes are crisp without, creamy within, and sweet throughout. Entirely appropriate for Hanukkah as well as a random Tuesday night...

An unconventional approach to apple pie that happily involves booze and lotsa butter. Even more memorable than the classic.

This peanut butter, honey, and arugula sandwich is like a pb&j sandwich gone to finishing school...at Chez Panisse.
