Vegetarian Bean Cholent
I shocked my cholent-hating family with this one. A friend told me the Parve Bean Cholent in the Lubavitch Women's Cookbook Spice and Spirit was fantastic. I tried it, but I changed some of the ingredients and cooked the stew in a crock pot. Everyone asked for seconds and thirds! This Vegetarian Cholent is hearty and delicious, but much lighter than meat cholent recipes.

Israeli Chocolate Rugelach
While I prefer rugelach filled with preserves and nuts, my kids like chocolate filled rugelach the best. Americans tend to fill their chocolate rugelach simply with mini-chocolate chips, while Israelis tend to make their own chocolate filling. The Israeli version of chocolate rugelach, which usually includes a touch of cinnamon, is more interesting in my opinion.

One Pot Shabbat
This recipe cooks the chicken and the rice together in the same pot. The rice is delicious as it absorbs the juices from the chicken. Make sure that the chicken is sealed tightly when cooking so that the steam stays in the pot and keeps the chicken moist.

Sweet Potato Lentil Soup
My English friend Dalia, who is a vegetarian, explained to me how to make her family's favorite soup - Sweet Potato Red Lentil Soup. Dalia doesn’t like spending hours in her kitchen, so I knew it would be a quick and easy recipe. And Dalia only eats healthy food, so I knew the soup would be full of fresh vegetables and high in protein. I didn’t know, though, that the soup would be so delicious that my guests would say “wow” and my kids would ask me to make the "orange soup" again next Shabbat.

Kosher Pickled Cucumbers
My father made these Pickled Cucumbers when I was growing up. I tried them once, and my kids fell in love with them.

Israeli Breakfast
To avoid the hot sun, Israel’s pioneer farmers would work in the early morning. After the day heated up and their appetites were large, they would break for a hearty meal of bread, olives, cheese, and vegetables. While few Israelis today take the time to eat this full morning meal, Israeli hotels generally serve a large, varied and satiating “Israeli breakfast” to tourists.

Vegetarian Chopped Liver
Vegetarian Chopped Liver is very frequently served as a Sabbath appetizer in Ashkenazi homes. There are many versions of pareve chopped liver, but this one made of onions, peas, beans, nuts and hard-boiled eggs is one of the most popular. Vegetarian chopped liver is lighter and healthier than real chopped chicken livers, but the taste is quite similar.

I was surprised to find that making rugelach is quite easy, and homemade is so much better than bought rugelach.

Pearled Barley Pilaf
Barley is a grain with a nut-like flavor and a pasta-like consistency. Pearled barley is hulled barley that has been polished so that the ends (bran) of the kernel are removed. While pearled barley is lower in nutrients than hulled barley, it cooks more quickly. Pearled Barley Pilaf is a great way to upgrade your next chicken dinner. As a less familiar side dish than rice, couscous, farfel or potatoes, barley can dress up a meal.

Classic Gefilte Fish (Pareve)
At the time of the Mishna (200 CE), rabbis deemed it meritorious to eat fish on the Sabbath and Jews became accustomed to eating fish at festive meals. Due to the plethora of rivers in Europe, Ashkenazi Jews tended to cook with freshwater fish. Eastern European Jews would make a mixture of chopped fish, stuff it back into the skin of the fish, and boil it. The word gefilte means stuffed in Yiddish.
