Many are classics and some are fresh, new versions of foods I love this time of year. For me, Rosh Hashanah is a time to reconnect to my religion and start over again-pledging that I will do better next year! L’shana tova to you and may your year be a sweet one!

Through the years I’ve made many Rosh Hashanah recipes. My mother stuck to the basics and never wrote anything down. She referred to this cookbook and not many more that I knew of. Perhaps she had a Sisterhood cookbook, but if she did I didn’t know about it.
I really learned to cook when I went away to college. I joined Hillel and called home for recipes. I was told to use College Inn for chicken soup and Manischewitz mix for matzo balls. I quickly learned to bake my own challah with the recipe from this book, though I’ve adapted it since then.
I guess you may say this was my beginning to cooking and cookbooks. Since then I’ve collected over 500 cookbooks and love every one. I also am a recipe collector in the sense that I am constantly tearing out recipes and printing those I like that I’ve found on the Internet. My drawers are full!
I hope you join me and if you find Rosh Hashanah recipes you like, feel free to subscribe and print them off. I’m always looking for new recipes so if you have one you love, please send it my way.
