A Rosh Hashanah Menu From Susie Fishbein

Susie Fishbein gave me a chance to search through her best-selling Kosher By Design cookbook series to design three exclusive holiday menus for the Joy of Kosher community – complete with a shopping list for each menu!  My goal is to cook my way through these amazing recipes over the holidays and share my feedback (and the reviews of my guests) in the Comments section below each recipe.

Today we are starting with Rosh Hashanah evening.  We’ve got a mix of simanim, sweet stuff and even something new to help you celebrate the New Year in the most delicious way!

Cinnamon Sugar Challah
