Soup season is open! Here’s a mild, comforting pumpkin soup cooked with crème fraîche and finished with grated cheese. A kosher dairy classic.

This braised beef brisket is a flavorful dish that I’m sharing with you here with a fig and red wine sauce. The meat is meltingly tender, and it’s perfect for a festive meal, especially for Rosh Hashanah or Sukkot.
