My food story is enmeshed with Holiday Traditions. Rosh Hashanah is no exception and this year….maybe more than any other….it feels particularly important to honor the holiday with a festive meal.

We are living in 2020 and so much feels out of my control. I’m going to choose to take advantage of the things that feel safe (staying home and cooking) and make me feel connected (yup….through food and cooking)….to those who celebrate today, and all those who celebrated for myriad years before me.

So, we won’t have any guests at our table….but I’m still going to plan for multiple festive meals. This is something I can control. I encourage you to do the same, to the extent you are able.

Will this traditional apple honey cake make it on your menu this year?

Rosh Hashanah is one of my favorite holidays to cook for. It’s rich with tradition, BUT….there’s also room for creativity. Apples, honey, pomegranates, leeks are some of the traditional foods eaten at Rosh Hashanah, though there’s no prescribed way you have to do it. I love the freedom to create healthy versions of old favorites.

If you’re hosting this year, I have ideas for you!! If you’re a guest, you should ABSOLUTELY bring something. Preferably something healthy. I have ideas for you too. If you don’t celebrate, I still have ideas for you. All of the recipes in this Rosh Hashanah Recipe Roundup are good everyday dishes, they’re good when you have guests, and good when you’re home alone and great choices when you go to a pot-luck. Healthy food has no season, no occasion and it definitely NEVER goes out of style.

I know, it’s a difficult time for many to muster the energy and enthusiasm for a holiday. My advice is the same as it would be in other years…..do not be ashamed to ask for help. Also, be realistic and plan something reasonable and doable.

For me, Rosh Hashanah has always been a time of introspection, a time of renewal and a time to connect with myself and those I love. That’s no different in 2020 than any other year.

Wishing you a sweet and healthy New Year. One that is filled with love and light….and a table full of good food.
