What We’re Making for Rosh Hashanah 🍎🍯

The complete menu

We use the Jewish High Holidays as an opportunity to create traditions with our family. My mom brings Chocolate Chip Sponge Cake every year, and Adi grew up eating symbolic meals that we serve at our Seder table. Rosh Hashanah is the most delicious holiday.    

Traditionally, there are certain ingredients you’re supposed to include on your holiday table, each representing a different blessing for the year ahead. Though Adi and I had different upbringings, we fell in love over food and this meal reflects that. He has a strong POV on the traditional meals we make, so I fill in the gaps with extra proteins and salads. The love that goes into cooking each meal is just as important to us as eating it!

Today’s menu includes everything we’re planning to serve at Rosh Hashanah next week, but all the recipes are delicious year-round. Here’s what’s on the menu:
