Cooking with Judy: Honey from the source offers special flavors for Rosh Hashanah, any table
Temple Beth Tikvah in Fullerton was abuzz last week when beekeeper Ray (he prefers that I use only his first name) arrived with a frame of live bees and a wealth of knowledge about honey production – a fitting subject, since honey is the iconic food of Rosh Hashanah, the coming Jewish New Year. Honey, it turns out, has staying power. It never spoils, and pots of honey found in 3,000-year-old Egyptian tombs are reportedly still edible. Ray is often called to remove beehives from private homes.
Cooking with Judy: Sweet memories return with Rosh Hashanah honey cake
According to my genetic profile on 23andMe, I am drawn to sweet over salty, bitter or sour. Hah! I needed to pay them $99 for that information? Maybe that’s why I love the cuisine of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, so much. Sweetness is the order of the day. We dip apples in honey, symbolizing our wish for a sweet new year, and sweet foods appear on the holiday table as edible expressions of hope for the year ahead.
Celebrating Rosh Hashanah
Edible links to our Jewish history When the exotic yellow Barhi dates first appear in the open-air markets of Israel, no one needs a calendar to sense that Rosh Hashanah is approaching. So too did the ancient Hebrews mark the seasons with cues from nature – the ripening of wheat in spring, the profusion of figs in summer, pomegranate harvest in fall, the pressing of olives in winter. Rosh Hashanah, which begins at sundown on Friday, September 11, began as an agricultural festival.
