Food Thoughts for Rosh Hashanah Meals
By
MILDRED GROSBERG BELLIN
(Copyright, 1965, JTA, Inc.)
In a sermon recently, our rabbi
said that when we first begin to
study any new subject we think we
know a tremendous amount. After
all, in proportion to our previous
state of complete ignorance, any
knowledge seems to be a great
deal. However, as we progress, we
begin to realize how little we
knew about the subject we are
studying in comparison with the
vast amount that still remains to
be learned.
The subject of this column, Jew-
ish cooking, can be used as a fine
example of the truth of the rabbi's
theme. At first we feel we can
easily learn all about it for it
seems to be nothing more than the
traditional dishes of our families,
our friends, and our neighbors. But
as we delve more deeply it be-
comes more and more apparent
that to know all there is to know
about Jewish cooking we would
have to learn everything about the
Jewish people. We would have to
learn every detail of our history,
the whole story of our people every-
where and in every time. We would
have to learn about the customs of
the people among whom the Jews
lived, and how these customs af-
fected our own food habits. This
would include the study of such
subjects as agriculture, economics,

CARROT TZIMMAS WITH
APRICOTS AND RAISINS
1/2 cup dried apricots, cut in quarters
, /.1 cup seedless raisins
11/2 cups boiling water
3 large carrots, diced
1 /2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sugar
IA teaspoon salt
I/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Place the apricots and raisins in a
one-quart saucepan, add the boiling
water, and let stand for one hour. Add
all remaining ingredients, bring to a boil,
then simmer until the carrots are almost
tender and the apricots and liquid have
thickened into a sauce. Stir frequently
near the end of the cooking time. This
part of the preparation may be com-
pleted in advance. If you wish, you may
add more sugar or salt to taste. About
45 minutes before serving time place the
tzimmas in a shallow open baking pan
about 6x8x1 inch in size. Bake uncovered
at 325 degs. F. This amount serves 4 to
5. The recipe may be doubled to serve
a larger number, but the baking should
be completed in a large shallow pan or
two small ones of the size mentioned.
Carrots are traditional for Rosh Has-
hanah as they represent our wish for
prosperity, and tzimmases are favorite
ways of serving them for the holiday
meals.

YOM TOV HONEY COOKIES
3 eggs
1 /2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey
3 cups sifted all-purpose flower
2 teaspoons double acting baking
powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1 /2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 /2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 /3 cup walnuts chopped medium fine
1 /2 cup seedless raisins, cut in half
Beat the eggs and brown sugar until
light and thick. Gradually beat in first
the oil, then the honey. Sift together
the flour, baking powder, salt, cinna-
mon, coffee, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir
the batter until blended. Add the wal-
nuts and raisins. Let the batter stand
for 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Drop
by rounded tablespoonsful a little dis-
tance apart on well-oiled cookie tins.
Bake at 350 degs. F. for 10 to 12 min-
utes, until the bottoms are a rich
brown and the tops a light brown. Per-
mitting the batter to stand and thicken
keeps the cookies from spreading as
the bake. If flatter cookies are pre-
ferred, bake as soon as the batter is
mixed, and allow room for spreading
between them. Watch carefully near
the end of the cooking time to pre-
vent overbaking. Cool on racks. The
cookies may be served plain but chil-
dren prefer them frosted with an icing
made by creaming 2 tablespoons of
soft parve margarine with 2 cups of
sifted confectioners' sugar. Add about
3 tablespoons strong black coffee or
water and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
and beat until smooth. This amount
makes about 50 cookies. If prepared
in advance, the cookies should be
frozen to preserve their freshness.
