I have read this site and Gail's before it and always come back to the T&T recipes that come from all of you. The Jewish High Holydays are upon us-any T&T challah, rugulech, tsimmes recipes anyone wants to share? Anyone making anything new and interesting-regardless of the complaints from the family?

 
welcome sgs,and isn't it true when changing tradition that we get those family complaints!

 
Re: New Year recipes

Not differenet but very T&T. I make these for gifts every year, and yes, even people who don't like Honey Cake seem to like/love this one. Be sure to warm very briefly in the Micro to soften the glaze a little before serving.
