This Hamin Toscano recipe reminded us of a Tuscan wedding soup.

Someday, I hope to make this rainbow challah with my granddaughters.

After weeks of holiday feasting and heavy meals, the new Jewish year is a perfect time to reset, to nourish our bodies with food that is wholesome and still tastes delicious.

The custom of eating stuffed vegetables on Simchat Torah is to symbolize the scrolls of the Torah filled with the wisdom of the holy text.

I love making soup for this holiday because even if the days are still warm, the cooler evenings make you start craving something warm and comforting.

Dates are a perfect way to add natural caramelized sweetness to desserts.

I’m telling you that there’s something special about this apple cake and the way that it just melts in your mouth.

One of my favorite things to cook for the Jewish holidays is a beautiful French roast. It’s so very festive and is perfect to feed a hungry crowd.

Baking this cake brought back the memories of Friday nights and holiday gatherings at my parents’ home.

Deliciously flaky and crispy with a satisfying creamy filling, these burekas are really easy to prepare.
