Over 50 Rosh Hashanah Recipes

Share this recipe!

My Rosh Hashanah Recipes, plus Yom Kippur recipes, will hopefully give you some new fresh ideas on what to make this High Holiday season. 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 different recipes for Rosh Hashanah.

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.

What are traditional foods for Rosh Hashanah?

Ashkenazic Jews eat apples and honey to symbolize a sweet year. A round challah is also traditional and often it is studded with raisins. Some avoid sour foods because it is the opposite of sweet!

Why is the challah on Rosh Hashanah round?

A round challah symbolizes the eternal circle of life.

Can Rosh Hashanah recipes be used for Yom Kippur?

Absolutely. However for Break the Fast it is traditional to eat dairy foods.

Rosh Hashanah Recipes: Main Courses

Most anything works as long as you don't mix meat and dairy; at least if you follow dietary laws.

I was not raised kosher but I always do my best to make traditional kosher meals for Jewish holidays.

Sometimes it is just the two of us, sometimes more. Sometimes vegetarians, sometimes not.

Sometimes gluten free and sometimes vegans.

The world goes around and it's not hard to adapt!
