Miriam Bauer, reviewing for The Jewish Book Council, says "... the recipes in this cookbook are delicious. In support of my assessment, I offer this significant evidence: my family rated each of my test recipes a 'do again,' which in my house is the highest possible accolade a recipe can receive."

Recipe of the Month

The High Holidays begin at sunset on Wednesday, September 8th, with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Sweet foods such as honey, carrots, apples and dried fruits are served, expressing the wish for a happy, sweet year ahead. Norene's Apple Honey Cake is a perfect example, or try garlic-roasted carrots and Apple-Pear Strudel, recipes from Norene’s Healthy Kitchen that were featured on Martha Stewart Living Radio.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins at sundown on Friday, September 17th. Traditional foods, not too spicy, such as chicken soup and kreplach , are served.

Tip of the Month

Roast brisket is a traditional holiday favorite, but a 3 1/2 ounce (100 gram) serving can contain up to 16 grams of fat. Buy a lean, first-cut brisket; second-cut brisket is full of fat. Roast it a day in advance and refrigerate it overnight. Trim off the excess fat and discard the hardened fat from the gravy. Cold brisket can be sliced thinly. Refrigerate or freeze the slices until needed, then reheat in the skimmed gravy. This year, try Norene's Coke Brisket or some of Norene's Pan-Pals favourite High Holiday recipes and tips.
