Upgrade your recipes and cooking and baking skills with three FREE online cooking classes for the Jewish High Holy Days, Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur.
Join The Nosher for three sessions to learn traditional dishes and new ones from North Africa and elsewhere.
As the old saying goes, you don’t have to be Jewish to love things like date cake and how to shape a perfect round bread, or challah.
Sign up to cook and bake along with these Jewish chefs and cookbook authors, including one who has cooked at the White House.
FYI – in 2022, Rosh Hashonah is Sunday, Sept. 25 to Tuesday, Sept. 27, and Yom Kippur is Tuesday/Wednesday, Oct. 4/5.
