Wine-Braised Brisket With Butternut Squash
This brisket is braised for hours, just as many Jewish briskets are, but we incorporate white wine instead of the more typical red, and butternut squash instead of potatoes. This makes for a lighter, brighter brisket, if such a thing exists, so it’s a better fit for holiday meals served during the warmer months.
Orange-Spiced Rye Honey Cake
Honey cake emerges from its hibernation around the High Holidays in the fall, when honey and other sweet foods are eaten to usher in a sweet new year. But as much as this is an early fall cake for the holidays, its warming spices make it a perfect winter cake that works both for dessert and in the morning with a cup of coffee.
Autumn Kale Salad
Celebrate the colors and flavors of fall with bright orange squash and sweet golden raisins contrasting the dark, earthy kale and a pungent roasted garlic dressing.
