Wow, so much went on last week! With Rosh Hashana and Eid overlapping this year I decided to cook up a storm! So what did I make?
Here were my menus for each day.
Raisin Challah
Day 1 – Rosh Hashana menu
Honey Raisin Challah
Homemade Tomato Soup
Vidalia Onion Fritters and Tamarind Dipping Sauce
Tishpishiti (Honey Nut Cake)
Saheena
Day 2 – Eid ul Fitr menu
Aloo Pies
Pholourie
Saheena
Ras Gullah
Fruit SaladETA: click here to view Lilandra’s Trinidadian Ramada and Eid Flickr set!
So how did everything turn out? Well mostly good, and for all the wins I will be posting the recipes over the coming days (and updating the links on this page as well). However, I must say I was quite disappointed with the Tishpishti. I had two recipes for this Sephardic dessert, one from Joan Nathan’s Jewish Cooking in America
Last week I stumbled across two relatively unknown eating establishments and was blown away by the quality of service and food that they presented. The experience made me decide that in future I want to feature the cuisine of, not only the well-known eateries here in Trinidad, but also that of the small undiscovered gems. You can look forward to those features in the coming months.
Last week I also acquired a new cookbook (courtesy of my boytoy) that has impressed me greatly. Titled Party!: Simple and Delicious Party Food
Well I’m winding down for my final few morsels before commencing on the Yom Kippur Fast. For all who observe it, have a safe and easy fast. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.
