Meltee's Restaurant and Lounge Open Monday thru Saturday, 11 a.m. til 2 a.m. GOOD FOOD • GOOD DRINKS • GOOD TIMES S Recipes For Jewish women, invested over the ages in nurturing their families, cooking has been almost sacred, says Mollie Katzen. Here are two of her recipes with a Jewish twist. The "Noodle Kugel," from The New Moosewood Cookbook, provides options for making it lighter or richer; it takes about an hour to pre- pare and serves 8. The "Israeli Eggplant Salad," from The New Enchanted Broccoli Forest, keeps well and goes beautifully on crackers or in toasted miniature picas; preparation time is 30 minutes and yields 4-6 servings.
