Saluting side dishes

Thanksgiving is a holiday when American-Jewish families can enjoy the best of both heritages — hearty American food and an occasion to give thanks for their blessings. Food has always been the center of the holiday celebration, and I like to plan an old-fashioned farmhouse menu for the holiday.

Seders: Not Just for Pesach Anymore

Every holiday has its aura. Pesach has a scrubbed cleanliness; Purim, a cookie-dough indulgence, Sukkot, a back-to-nature thankfulness. Rosh Hashanah has its aura, too. For most of us, it\’s one that begins a season of awe, judgment and repentance.

When I recently attended Kosher World at the L.A. Convention Center, I saw a wide selection of Passover foods.
