Reading other food publications is part of my job (sounds rough, doesn’t it?), and lately I find myself bombarded with a lot of the same ideas in different secular food magazines and websites: summer is for simple – spend less time in the kitchen.
While that’s great advice, it’s a little bit harder to follow when you’re hosting company for Shabbat or, you know, looking ahead to all of the upcoming holidays!
So I think our challenge is to find a middle ground, which is what we’ve done for this week’s Shabbat menu. A few cold salads and apps round out a meal with simple dishes perfectly.
And of course, there’s always room for dessert.
Happy cooking!
