This week Yom Kippur falls on Shabbat, so there is no need for a Shabbat menu, but I will supply you with a pre fast meal that will prepare you for this Day of Atonement.
If you missed it around Tisha B’av or need a reminder, take a look at my fasting tips. At this meal we do want to eat well, but not overstuff ourselves and of course go light on the salt.

Creamy Mushroom Soup

Roast Chicken with Chestnuts and Orange Yam Mash

Spinach and Limas

Russian Tea Cakes with Cacao Nibs
