    Rosh Hashanah Recipes

    If you celebrate the Jewish New Year, or Rosh Hashanah, I’ve got everything you need for menu inspiration from main courses and sides to desserts and of course, Challah. Whether you want to stay traditional or try some riffs off the classics, I’ve got plenty of options to make your High Holidays a delicious celebration.

    If brisket is part of your Rosh Hashanah menu, my recipes are tried and true methods that easily feed hungry, temple-weary eaters. Rather serve chicken? Might I suggest my Apricot Jam Chicken or Roasted Clementine Chicken – both special enough, but easy enough for a stress-free gathering. 

    Challah in the round is the traditional bread during Rosh Hashanah. I have tips for different braids, filled rolls with apples and currants, and even a brisket sandwich on challah to revitalize your leftovers. 

    For dessert, it’s tough to choose just one… so I won’t! Tishpishti is perfect if you’re looking for a kosher dessert, Rugelach is always a crowd pleaser, and my Chocolate Babka Minis will have you in chocolate heaven.
