Shanah tovah! It’s the festival of Rosh Hashanah this week – Jewish New Year. Symbolic foods (simanim) are traditionally eaten to ensure a good and happy year ahead. In fruit and veg world, these simanim include apples, honey, pomegranates, carrots, green beans, beetroot and leeks. Now that’s a Regather-friendly feast! For today’s recipe (from www.vegsoc.org) we’re going with apples and honey, which symbolise the desire for a sweet year.
And we can’t let the occasion pass without a big shout-out and thanks to Jonny of Tower of Bagel. If you haven’t tried his gorgeous three-braid challah celebration bread (or the mini versions)… get on it! There’s a vegan version too. Be warned: your household will demolish the challah quick as a flash. Check out Tower of Bagel’s goodies on the Bakery page of the Regather online shop.
