Jewish New Year – It’s Always About the Food

Lisa + Merelyn will be cooking up a storm this Thursday for the @dunera_project and making THE BEST chicken salad ever. The recipe first appeared in The Feast Goes On thanks to Famishd’s Georgia Samuel. Hope you can join them!

Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, is here and many in our Jewish community will be fasting from just before sunset this evening for 25 hours.⁠
⁠
Some of us (🙋‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️)have spent the last week obsessing about what meal we will eat to start the fast (not too salty to avoid thirst, low GI to hopefully allay those inevitable hunger pangs, do we go traditional or not...)⁠
And then there is a completely new conversation about what to eat to break the fast (cinnamon buns or babke, a full meal of brisket and potatoes, a lighter option with pasta and fish and then the inevitable comment 'I could just have a cup of tea and a piece of cake and go to bed' (which of course no-one seems to ever do)⁠
⁠
So many debates going on! ⁠
⁠
We hope whatever you choose is exactly what you need to make it an easy fast, and on the other side is exactly what you need so you don't finish the meal holding your belly and moaning😜 (we've all been there).⁠
⁠
We wish everyone chag sameach, g’mar chatima Tova, and may you have an easy fast!⁠
⁠
Love to all,⁠
Lisa, Jaks, Merelyn and Natty ⁠
