Ah, Hanukkah. The season is upon us again. We love how the dreidel game transitions seamlessly into drinking. Spin that thing and prepare to get sloshed.

These chicken & beef satays with peanut sauce are some of my favorite bites, but it's the peanut sauce that makes this dish so special. The sauce is based on others I've enjoyed over the years, but couldn't make until kosher-certified coconut milk became available. You'll love the way these satays' lime-brightened zing plays against the smoky meat, itself deeply flavored...

The Mazel Tov cocktail should be an important part of every Jewish holiday celebration, especially Rosh Hashana. What better way to bring in the New Year? Just don't have one right after you break fast on Yom Kippur next week — there may not be enough bagels in New York to soak up the aftermath of this strong tipple. 

Word of the Day: Treif

Building up your kitchen vocab arsenal
Sep 28, 2011 2:31 pm

Tonight marks the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, which means you better bone up on your Jewish food terms if you expect to get your hands on that honey-dipped apple.

My first thought when I wake up on a Jewish holiday is not "Wow, another Jewish year come and gone," or "Hey, let me ponder the significance of this auspicious day," but rather, "I wonder what kind of soup Aunt Mindy is making and how early will I get to leave work to go eat it?"

My most urgent thought when I set foot in a Jewish deli is not...

Baked eggplant slices rolled around a meatless filling is a kosher favorite. My version ups the traditional ante as it's served with a sauce that includes smoky red peppers, a great eggplant counterpoint, plus creamy mascarpone. The eggplant rollatini dish is luscious but light, and can also be made ahead of time. It's a great family favorite, too.

God Told Me To Eat It

Exploring the ties between food and religion
Jul 6, 2011 1:01 pm

Food and our relationship with it often mimics religion. We bow our heads over a plate 3-4 times a day. Gather around those who are like-minded and rejoice in the presence of good food.
