I am so super psyched about my new book Quick & Kosher: Meals in Minutes due out this Chanukah.  So much so that I just can’t hold it in any longer.  As a special gift I’d like to offer you (and all your friends – pass this blog post on!) a sneak peek at my Rosh Hashanah Meals in Minutes menu.

I tried my hardest to incorporate as many of the Rosh Hashanah simanin as possible into the menu.  Simanim are foods whose names suggest a variety of blessings for the New Year.  These include pomegranates, leeks, beets, dates, spinach, honey, apples and carrots – foods you may have been serving year round, but suddenly, they’re in the spotlight, laden with symbolic promises of good things to come.

So here is my super sweet Rosh Hashanah Quick & Kosher: Meals in Minutes menu with links to the full and complete recipes for 3 of my favorite holiday dishes.  We’ll start with a warm and comforting Leek Soup, the star of the show is a sweet and savory dish I like to call Chicken with Apples (serves 4).  Round out your meal with Roasted Beets and Spinach Salad with Pomegranate Dressing (serves 4) and finish it off with Carrot Cupcakes .

What are your favorite Rosh Hashanah recipes? Be sure to drop a line and let me know how you like these new freebies. Happy Sweet New Year!

    The recipe has no yield, looks like it serves very few, but how many so I can resize

    Great catch! We are fixing the recipe post now. But just so you don’t have to wait… Both the chicken and the salad recipes each serve 4. You should be safe if you straight out double or triple the recipes. The only thing I would watch out for is the Pomegranate Dressing, keep it separate and dress the salad to your liking (you can always keep any extra dressing in your fridge for at least a few weeks for later use). The carrot cupcakes yield 20. Please leave a comment and let me know how you liked the recipes.

    Thanks so much. I’m definitely going to use the salad recipe so your hint was useful. I must say I didn’t know about the simanim. I’ve done some reading on the issue and look forward to enhancing our holiday luncheons, one of which will include the Rabbi and his family, the other will have the cantor and hers! I’m also a customer at kosher.com and appreciate what you add to its usefulness.

    Enjoyed seeing you on the NBC show this morning–would love the recipe for the salmon you made-especially the coconut milk based sauce! Hope to serve it for office dinner party
    many thanks

    Hi Judy,

    Thank you SO much. The recipe is from my new book Quick & Kosher Meals in Minutes. Due to copyright issues I am not able to post every recipe, I’m sorry. I hope that you will buy the book though so everyone at your office dinner party can enjoy it :-) Wishing you all the best!
