1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. salt '/2 cup (1 stick) margarine '/2 cup brown sugar '/2 cup maple-flavored syrup 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans 1 cup golden raisins, dried cher- ries or cranberries Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook the noodles according to package directions, drain, rinse in cold water and drain well again. Place the noo- dles in a large bowl, stir in the eggs, cinnamon, sugar and salt. Set aside. Spray a large nonstick "Bundt" or tube pan with non-stick cooking spray. Combine margarine, brown sugar and maple-flavored syrup in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir as you cook, until the mixture makes a thick syrup. Pour this mix- ture into the prepared pan, and tilt the pan so that the mixture covers the bottom. Sprinkle the nuts and dried fruit of your choice over the syrup. Pour the noodle mixture over the nuts and dried fruit, and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, until the top is golden and the liquid is set. Let cool for 15 minutes before unmolding. Let kugel sit at least another 15 minutes up to overnight before cut- ting. Serve warm or at room tem- perature. Makes 12 to 16 servings.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, sugar, eggs and vanilla, and process until smooth.

QUINOA CAULIFLOWER KUGEL I adapted this recipe from one I found in the New York Times a few years ago. '4 cup olive oil 2 cups chopped onions 1 tsp. minced garlic 1 cup uncooked quinoa 2 cups water 1 tsp. kosher salt 1% lb. cauliflower florets (weight without core), chopped 2 cups (1 lb.) low-fat cottage cheese 4 large eggs, lightly beaten with a fork 1 tsp. cumin V2 tsp. black pepper Heat oil in a large saucepan, and add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring, until just about tender. Add the quinoa, and cook, stirring, for another 2 to 3 minutes until the qui- noa begins to smell toasty. Add the water and salt, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until the quinoa is tender and the grains display a threadlike spiral. If any water remains in the pot, drain the quinoa through a strainer, then return to the pot. Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower over 11/2-inch of boiling water for 20 minutes, or until tender. Remove from the heat. Cool, and chop well. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease well a 9- x 13-inch baking dish, or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, and mix well. Bake 1 hour or more, until the top is lightly browned and the mix- ture is set. Cool before cutting into squares. To reheat: Cover with foil and bake at 250 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 15 servings. All recipes © Annabel Cohen 2014; annabelonthemenu@gmail.corn.
