Rosh Hashana Family Recipes

One thing that makes every holiday special is the wealth of food brought to the table year after year. There is something about recipe tradition and the same delicious dishes hitting your plate year in and year out that is just so comforting.

Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, is another great holiday with mouthwatering classic dishes. Brisket, chicken and tzimmes, are just a few of the many fantastic recipes that come out of these traditions, each of which honors both the holiday and the start of the fall season.

Rather than supply you with our usual recipes from the What's Cookin' database (though they are always fabulous), today we're bringing you the Rosh Hashana recipes from our personal kitchens at Snooth. These are recipes that have survived the test of time and that have appeared on our holiday dinner tables throughout generations of family cooking.

So, join us in the celebration and make our recipes yours as we enter the fall season. Happy New Year!

Heath's Girlfriend's Vegetable Farfel

Farfel dishes are a favorite around the Snooth offices for their hearty, almost turkey stuffing-like nature. Filled with veggies like potato and zucchini, this farfel dish is almost like a strata in that the veggies are grated and then doused in egg before being baked.

Kate's Grandma's Noodle Pudding

Some like kugel savory, some like kugel sweet. This cottage cheese and cinnamon noodle pudding will satisfy those who adore the sweeter side, but it still isn't as overly sweet as some of the pineapple-laden versions.

Laura's Chicken Kiev

Chicken Kiev is a great alternative main dish if you want something other than brisket at your dinner table. Flavored with a garlic-chive butter, this classic chicken is updated by being baked instead of deep fried.
