Today I’m sharing a recipe for delicious homemade bagels that are easy to make. Bagels have become hugely popular over the past few years, from street food chains all the way to restaurants that have added them to their menus. Yet bagels are nothing new: they were brought to the United States by Ashkenazi Jews who made them back home, especially in Poland. What sets them apart is their ring shape and the fact that they are boiled before being baked, which gives them that texture unlike any other bread.

A childhood memory… A mountain of golden roses, glossy with honey syrup, sitting proudly on a porcelain serving platter. The best part? How thin the pastry is. A wonderful treat to make for Purim or Rosh Hashanah, or for Shavuot, to recall the giving of the Torah on top of Mount Sinai.

A new take on the traditional potato latkes we eat at Hanukkah: these sweet potato latkes are the perfect mix of sweet and savory, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are ideal for holiday meals, especially during Sukkot or Hanukkah.

Keftas are a type of fish ball, and what makes them special is their slightly flattened shape and the fact that they are fried. Enjoy them as an appetizer or alongside a fish couscous.

No list of Rosh Hashanah honey sweets would be complete without this cake, the Tunisian harissa (nothing to do with the chili paste!), made with almonds, semolina, orange blossom water and honey. It’s probably the easiest one to make, perfect if you’re just getting started.
