O. Box 1734 Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 ©1986 Ann Arbor Chapter of Hadassah --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Hada860003) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Three years ago when I volunteered to chair the committee to rewrite the cookbook, I must admit to a certain naiveté. What could there be, after all, to publishing a cookbook? Little did I real- ize how many woman hours would be involved and how much fun it would be. This project owes its success to the women who devoted so many hours of their time in the numerous tasks associated with producing Like Mama Used to Make...and More. My deepest thanks to the original committee members who assumed a myriad of tasks in addition to making the initial decisions and culling through new and old recipes: Betty Becker, Carol Finerman, Miriam Garvil, Rachel Jacobs, Esther Pascal, Jeanne Robbins, Sheila Silver and Doris Miller. Warm thanks to Marilyn Krimm for her assistance. In addition, I would like to single out the following: Helen Mann and Sarajane Silver who typed the manuscript and Hilary Gans and Rae Juni who assisted in proofreading; Ricky Lauffer for her wonderful illustrations, Harlene Appleman for her text on the holidays and Fay Woronoff for her insights through the historical notes; and most especially to Carol Finerman for taking on the awesome job as editor and to Judy Stopke for her expertise in design and production. My appreciation also to all those who submitted recipes, so that this book could pass on a culinary heritage, just like Mama used to make, to a new generation. ---Judy Cohen Cookbook Chairman Table of Contents Historic Notes 4 Editor's Note 6 Kashruth 7 Holidays 8 Shabbat 9 Rosh Hashanah 10 Yom Kuppur 11 Sukkoth 12 Chanukah 13 Purim 14 Passover 15 Shavuoth 16 Appetizers 17 Soups & Accompaniments 29 Vegetables 45 Salads 60 Side Dishes 65 Kugels, Kugels & more Kugels 81 Fish 85 Poultry & Stuffings 97 Meats 109 Eggs & Cheese 129 Breads 137 Sweets 147 Cookies & Squares 148 Pies, Pastries & Tortes 166 Cakes & Icings 178 Desserts 192 Beverages 195 Passover 201 Glossary 221 Index 224 --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Hada860004) Hada860004.txt HISTORIC NOTES It was an evening Study Group meeting in October of 1951 at which we munched delicious baked goods and exchanged their mimeographed recipes, that someone suggested, "Why don't we collect all our favorite receipes and put out a cookbook?" The spark caught fire and produced an awesome degree of participa- tion on the part of Chapter members, culminating in a product that fulfilled our entire financial quota for several years, the book Like Mama used to Make. The enthusiastic involvement on the part of the many talented women on whose resources we were able to draw produced, after only a year's work, a cookbook that became known and treasured all over the country, as well as abroad. Suzanne Sarnoff, as chairperson, designed and illustrated, with Jan Miller's assistance, a volume of exceeding charm and wit but, most importantly, one comprised of excellent, typically Jewish rec- ipes shared by our Chapter's most proficient cooks. Like Mama Used to Make was copyrighted on December 16, 1952 and its sales took off beyond our most optimistic expecta- tions. Because of our extensive publicity and also because of the nature of our university community, with students and faculty members coming from and going to other locales, the visibility of the book became widespread. Once seen, it virtually sold itself. Individual and multiple copies could be purchased locally and through the mail, and other Hadassah chapters and sisterhoods bought them in quantity at reduced prices for their own fund-rais- ing. Orders poured in from Canada, England, Israel, Japan, Guam, France and South Africa, as well as from literally every state in the nation. A copy was requested by the Jewish Welfare Board's Ser- vicemen's Center in Germany to help them bring '"a touch of home' to the Jewish boys through these Jewish traditional deli- cacies and dishes." In 1956 permission was requested by and granted to the Chil- dren and Youth Aliyah Committee for Great Britain to reprint the cookbook in the United Kingdom. In 1963 the Youth Aliyah Committee in Amsterdam made the same request, translating excerpts into Dutch. After many thousands of copies of Like Mama Used to Make were sold, some of the original recipes were revised in 1974 for a new edition. We have now undertaken a further, more extensive revision to be more in keeping with today's eating habits, our concern with calo- ries and cholesterol, and our newer methods of food preparation. We have, however, steadfastly sought to maintain the same tam that made our Jewish recipes so special and so valued over the years. Like Mama Used to Make...and More is just that. Enjoy! ---Fay Woronoff --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Hada860005) Hada860005.txt EDITOR'S NOTE This project was conceived in late spring of 1984, when I was president of the Ann Arbor Chapter of Hadassah. We wanted to modernize the recipes to bring them in line with current thinking about nutrition, and incorporate the use of the latest kitchen equip- ment on our tried and true recipes. What made Like Mama Used to Make and our new version, Like Mama Used to Make...and More so popular and so special, is its tam, the love written in every recipe as grandaughters painstakingly measured Grandma's "handful" and we learned to convert the contents of a yahrzeit glass to a standard measuring cup. Many recipes were submitted with accompanying stories of their origin, which we've included. There were requests to keep favorite recipes from the old cookbook, and in this we tried to accommo- date as many as possible. Many new recipes are quite traditional, handed down from grandmother, Mama, aunts and friends. There are also new recipes which take into account diet restrictions, and many more recipes in our vegetable section. We hope you like the new look of our book, but be assured that within its covers, on its sleek, newly designed pages, are the reci- pes that we love and treasure. We hope you will too. ---Carol Finerman Editor Kashruth JEWISH DIETARY LAWS The recipes in Like Mama Used to Make...and More, whether traditional or modern, follow the precepts of kosher dietary laws. Foods used in these recipes are acceptable in a kosher kitchen. Meats are from the forequarters of animals which have cloven hooves and chew their cud (the cow, sheep, goat and deer--- although the latter two are seldom used in the United States). The hindquarters may also be used, but they generally are not be- cause of the costs to remove the veins and fatty portions which must be done to make the meat kosher. Poultry such as chicken, turkey and geese are permitted. Fish which have both fins and scales are allowed. Vegetables, fruits, processed cheeses and eggs are also permitted; however eggs which have a speck of blood are not kosher and must be dis- carded, for any sign of blood means that fertilization has taken place. Today, a kosher butcher while observing the laws of ritual slaughter, offers meats pre-kashered, salted and pre-packaged for the shopper. A large number of supermarkets have a separate section for kosher meats, either fresh or pre-packaged and frozen. Many products bear the symbols U and K which symbolize their suitability in a kosher kitchen. Milk and meat products are never used together. This has its foundation in the Bible: "Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk." Meat, or foods containing meat, are never cooked, served or eaten with milk or foods containing milk. Some foods are consid- ered neutral or pareve (fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs) and may be prepared and eaten with dairy or meat meals. The observant cook will check package ingredients and consult with a rabbi if there is any question as to whether or not a food is permissible. Observant homes will also have a set of dishes and utensils for meat (fleishik), another set for dairy (milkhik), as well as complete sets for Passover. --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Hada860006) Hada860006.txt HOLIDAYS Jewish life has a special rhythm. The Scriptures instruct us to pray three times daily, following the cycle of light and darkness, morning and evening. Our weeks follow a certain rhythm, as well, building toward the crescendo of Shabbat. Our year follows the rhythm of the holidays with special pauses tied to wonderful celebrations. Fi- nally, our lives are attuned to those times we call life cycle events: birth, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, marriage and death. Entwined in this cadence are the wonderful foods that mark those special occasions and celebrations: the tcholent and kugels of Shabbat (not to mention the chicken soup and challah), the honey cakes, teiglach and tzimmis that combine to make a sweet New Year and, of course, the sponge cake, matzo balls and count- less matzo meal delicacies that separate Passover from the rest of the year. The offerings that follow are filled with an almost reverent respect for the Jewish way of celebrating and remembering the rhythm of life. In Judaism, one's table is considered an alter, and the most precious offerings are placed upon it. These recipes, simple or complex, have all received the attention and care that make them worthy to grace any table. We hope they bring you pride and hap- piness as you prepare them. Shabbat "Even the poor are rich on Shabbat," it is said, and since Shabbat is a taste of the world to come, the culinary delights of such a day should be fitting. If you have ever tasted warm challah fresh from the oven, you must surely acknowledge that this is a heavenly experience. Add to that the Shabbos fish (gefilte or sweet and sour), the chicken soup and a wonderful kugel, and what fam- ily would not equate you with the Shabbos Angel? Traditionally, it is customary to put a few coins in the Tzedakah box just before lighting the Shabbos candles. Then mother pre- pares at least two candles which are lit up to eighteen minutes be- fore sunset. Some families light an additional candle for each child in the house. Children are blessed: "May the Lord make you like Ephraim and Menaskeh" (for the males) and "May the Lord make you like Sarah, Rebekah and Leah" (for the girls). Then "Shalom Aleicheim"---May peace be with you---is sung. Kiddish is recited, the challah cover is removed and Hamotzi (the blessing over the bread) is made. Some people tear the challah because to use a knife introduces a warlike connotation to some- thing that is supposed to be peaceful. This entire ceremony takes only a few moments in Hebrew or English, but within those moments, a pause that separates the humdrum monotony of the weekdays from the peace of Shabbat, has been created.

A round challah symbolizes the cyclical nature of the year---the ending of the old year and the beginning of the new. Also the round challah looks like a crown to remind us of the Torah's royal crown. This challah traditionally has raisins and dried fruits throughout. Apples and honey: apples because they symbolize fertility and abundance; and honey because it was thought to have re- generative powers, and it was sweet, symbolizing the hope for a sweet year to come. Fish represents fertility and proliferation. A fruit new to the season. When we recite a Sheheheyanu two nights in a row, on the second, the fruit is in full view. Carrots (or marin in Yiddish) also means to increase or multiply. Thus carrots symoblize the wish for prosperity in the coming year. CHECKLIST ? Round challah and challah cover ?

Mahzor-High Holy Day Prayer book TRADITIONAL ROSH HASHANAH MENU Carrot tzimmes, carrots with honey, or potato and carrot casserole Farfel (round) Challah (round) Honey cake Taiglach Yom Kippur The holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur, is the Sabbath of all Sabbaths. It is a twenty-four hour period that is traditionally de- voted to prayer, fasting and atonement. The day focuses on spir- itual needs. Physical needs are temporarily set aside so that we can concentrate more fully on asking G-d's forgiveness for the transgressions of the past year. However, since Yom Kippur is a festival, the meal preceding it is considered to be a feast. Challot are served, although some fami- lies shape them like birds, with braided ladders on their wings. This symbolizes the flight of man's prayers to heaven. The sweet and sumptuous food from Rosh Hashanah is traditionally eaten on Erev Yom Kippur (Yom Kippur Eve) as well, along with one addi- tion---kreplach. Kreplach were once edible amulets. They con- tained hopeful messages and mystical incantations carved into their doughy surfaces. Thus, eating them on Yom Kippur was sup- posed to make wishes come true. CHECKLIST ?

Like many other holidays, Sukkoth has dual origins: it is both a historic and agri- cultural holiday; it represents the journey of the people of Israel through the desert after the exodus from Egypt. During this time people lived in booths of an impermanent nature. Sukkoth also cel- ebrated the fall harvest and involved a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. As a family celebration, Sukkoth can be incredibly rich. The pur- chase of a lulav (the combination of date palm, myrtle and willow leaves) and etrog (the citron) makes an important addition to the holiday. Building a sukkah and using it for family meals and enter- taining, creates an experience that once tried will not be aban- donded. This holiday is a particular delight to children. All of the senses and tactile experiences of this weeklong celebration--- from the hanging of fruits and vegetables to decorate the sukkah, eating the family meals out-of-doors, to the culmination of the cele- bration of Simchat Torah, on the eighth day, when all the Torahs are taken out of the ark and the congregation dances and rejoices in the synagogue as they are paraded around seven times---all create the kinds of Jewish memories that promote tradition. CHECK LIST ? Round challah with challah cover ? Two candles ? Kiddush cup ? Wine ? Lulav and etrog ? Fresh flowers for the holiday table ? A sukkah TRADITIONAL SUKKOTH MENU: Challah, apples, taiglach and round fruitcakes carry out the tradition of round foods for the holiday. Because it is traditional to eat in the sukkah, other holiday foods are hot, spicy and substantial: stuffed cabbage, cabbage borscht or stuffed veal breast. Hot cider sipped through cin- Namon sticks. Chanukah Chanukah means dedication in Hebrew. It refers specifically to the rededication of the ancient Temple after it had been dese- crated by the Syrians. It is also the Festival of Lights. These two facets of the holiday: the rededication of the Temple and the em- phasis on light during the dark winter days, come together in the Chanukah story about the cruse of oil. When the Temple was des- ecrated and the Eternal Light burning in it was extinguished, the Maccabees were able to save one small cruse of oil that burned for eight days and nights until more oil could be prepared. This story gives rise to the custom of lighting candles for eight days, one for each day of the holiday, and the custom of eating food cooked in oil such as latkes and doughnuts. Children play the dreidl game, a spinning top with Hebrew letters on four sides; they are the initials of the words which explain the mystery of the oil in the lamp and the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrians. Nes Gadol Haya Shim---"A great miracle happened here." Rock of Ages is sung after the candles are lighted. Gifts are usually given to children, including money, known as Chanukah "gelt". CHECKLIST ?

Latkes (potato or buckwheat pancakes) and jelly doughnuts --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Hada860009) Purim Purim can be a glorious celebration with all of the ingredients for great parties: masquerades, gift-giving, Purim plays and cha- rades. It is a holiday that can be as sophisticated or as child-ori- ented as you care to make it, but it is always fun. In the synagogue, the Megillah (Book of Esther) is read and retells the story of Esther who is married to King Ahasueros. Moredeccai, Esther's uncle, re- fuses to bow down to Haman, the king's advisor, so Haman plots to murder all the Jews. Esther intervenes with the King and saves her people. As the story is read, there are cheers for the names of Es- ther and Mordeccai, but loud stamping of feet and sounding the graggers (noisemakers) whenever Haman's name is mentioned. We celebrate the victory of the Jews over anti-Semitism then, and down through the ages. Aside from the merriment, traditional observances include giv- ing Mishloach Manot, the exchange of food gifts among friends. These can include hamantashen (three-cornered pastries filled with poppyseeds or prunes and said to be shaped like Haman's ears), nuts, fresh fruit and a small bottle of wine or schnapps. CHECKLIST ? Graggers (noisemakers) ? Hamantashen - pastries filled with poppyseeds, prunes or a variety of other fillings ? Mishloach Manot - baskets of goodies to send to friends ? Challah and a challah cover ? Wine or liquor, because it is tra- ditional to get so intoxicated that you cannot tell the dif- ference between Haman and Mordeccai ? Matanot L'Evyonian - it is tradi- tional to give at least one penny each to two poor people. Purim is a particularly fitting time to give a gift to charities that re- lieve world hunger Passover Passover is a springtime celebration of freedom and renewal. The holiday commemorates the beginnings of Jewish peoplehood and the exodus from Egypt. It begins on the fifteenth day of Nissan and continues for eight days, during which no leavened food may be eaten. Passover is one of three pilgrimage holidays (the others are Shavuoth and Sukkoth) and serves as a means to gather peo- ple together to celebrate the beginnings of a new agricultural year. We celebrate Passover at a Seder meal: a great feast which incor- porates many traditional Jewish foods, and during which the story of the exodus from Egypt is retold, lest the Jewish people forget that they were slaves in Egypt. It is an injunction to all those at the Seder table to pass the story down to a new generation and to re- peat it to all who are present so that it may endure. It is customary to invite guests to the Seder following the injunc- tion in the Haggadah: "Let all who are hungry come and eat." In addition to the traditional four questions which precipitate the tell- ing of the Passover story, modern families encourage the asking of new questions in order to encourage their children's participation. From the explanation of all the symbolic foods, through to the great feast and general camaraderie, Passover is a very family-oriented, warm holiday. CHECKLIST ? Two yom tov candles ?

This holiday is introduced at Passover, when the counting of the omer (the 49 days between Passover and Shavuoth) is begun. Shavuoth is a beautiful holiday with its flowers and plants. It is significant because it celebrates the giving of the Torah to Moses on Mt. Sinai. It is traditional to eat dairy foods on this holiday and the best cheesecakes and blintzes are generally on parade. It is a perfect time to set up an ice-cream bar with lots of toppings. CHECKLIST ?

Worcestershire 1 envelope onion soup mix 2 6 1/2 oz. cans white tuna packed in water, drained 2 T. soy sauce 1 can bean sprouts, well drained 1 4-oz. can mush- rooms, well drained, chopped oil for frying SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE: 1/4 c. cornstarch 1/2 c. water 3/4 c. white vinegar 1 c. water (or chicken stock) 1 clove garlic, minced 1 T. oil 1 1/4 c. sugar 1 t. salt 1 t. dark soy sauce 1 can pineapple chunks, drained (optional) Beat egg; blend in flour. Mix all remaining in- gredients in food processor or blender. Add them to the egg and flour mixture. Preheat oil to 350° in frying pan. Carefully drop mixture by teaspoonful into oil. Remove as they brown; drain puffs on paper toweling. Serve covered with sweet and sour sauce in chaf- ing dish. For sweet and sour sauce, mix cornstarch with water; set aside. Bring remaining ingre- dients to a boil. Add cornstarch mixture to thicken sauce. Freeze in layers without sauce if making ahead. Defrost completely and reheat in 300° oven for about 10-15 minutes. This recipe is from my sister-in-law, JoAnn Arenson. Many people will think they are meatballs, but will not be able to determine the "secret" ingredient. Judy Cohen MINIATURE EGG ROLL (Pareve) 1 c. onion, chopped 1 c. bean sprouts (if canned, drain well) 1 c. celery, chopped 1 c. mushrooms, sliced (if canned, drain well) oil soy sauce 1 recipe blintze dough or purchased won ton wrappers SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE: 1/4 c. cornstarch 1/2 c. water 12 oz. apricot preserves 1/3 c. white vinegar 3 T. honey 1/4 t. powdered ginger 1/3 c. ketchup 1/3 c. sherry 1 T. soy sauce Sauté vegetables in a little oil (sesame is nice if you have it). Add soy sauce to taste. Place 1/2 teaspoon of filling in center of a small wrapper. Roll up and tuck in corners well. Deep fat fry in vegetable oil at 350°. Serve as hors d'oeuvres with sweet and sour sauce. For sweet and sour sauce, mix cornstarch with water. Bring all ingredients to a boil over medium heat stirring frequently to prevent burning. Reduce to simmer and thicken with cornstarch and water mixture. If using won ton wrappers, these may be made ahead and frozen, but do not over- brown the first time. Reheat by thawing completely and re-frying briefly (until golden). They will be slightly better if made fresh, but if you must save time, they will still be fine if you reheat them this way. Oil from frying the first time can be strained through cheese cloth and stored in the refrigerator. These have been served so many times at bar and bat mitzvahs that they may now be considered authentic Jewish forshpeis.

"GEDECHTE" (THICK) SOUP 1 pkg. Manischewitz Vegetable Soup Mix with Mushrooms 1/4 lb. dried lima beans 1/8 lb. dried green split peas 2-3 marrow bones 1 lb. chuck 2 large carrots, sliced 2 stalks celery, cut up 1 medium onion, cut up 1/4 c. small pasta (optional) salt fresh-ground pepper Set aside the mushroom-and-flavor packet of the soup mix. In a strainer, wash the rest of the contents of the soup mix and also the lima beans and split peas. Cover well with water and let stand overnight to shorten cooking time or else bring to a boil and con- tinue cooking at once. Add marrow bones and chuck. (Meat may be cooked in a sepa- rate pot or a pressure cooker; cool, skim off all fat that rises to top of stock. Stock should then be added to the cooking vegetables to give flavor.) When lima beans start to feel somewhat soft to the touch of a fork, add the fresh vegetables and continue to cook, stir- ring bottom often. Remove meat when tender if it was cooked in the main pot and cool slightly, or else use meat which was boiled by itself. Trim off all fat, cut meat into cubes and add to soup. Add salt and pepper to taste---at least 2 teaspoons salt. About 1/2 hour before the end of the cooking time, add the mushroom-and-flavor packet of the soup mix and the additional pasta.

The year was 1936; I was a fairly new arrival in Haifa, and had not yet learned to speak, read or write Hebrew. A young teenager, alone, and like so many other girls, I was staying temporarily at the Beth Hachalutzoth. I heard of a cookery course, and, perhaps rashly, registered as a student. Throughout the first day in class I sat there feeling what the builders of the Tower of Babel must have felt. The course was to last for three months, and the prospect of sitting through so much time in empty isolation was more than I could bear. I came to class armed with a thick wad of blank papers, and a lot of sharpened pencils, and hung on the teacher's lips for all my life was worth, taking down every sound she uttered. I understood nothing. The only alphabet I knew was the Roman alphabet and the sounds I took down were a phonetic representation of Hebrew in Roman letters. Each evening I scoured the corridors of the Beth Hachalutzoth in search of some girl who was willing to work with me for an hour or two, and was usually lucky. I would slowly read to her the succession of sounds I had taken during class. The girl would extract from this medley the beginnings and ends of words as each became recognizable to her, until a sentence would begin to emerge. It was exciting to watch her face light up with recognition, and im- mediately she'd translate the Hebrew into German or Yiddish, whichever was functioning as the common language between us. At last I could fully understand what I had observed in class in the way of practical work. I im- mediately began scribbling again, this time writing down the recipes we had prepared that morning, and all the instructions that went with them. Needless to say, I managed to acquire quite a bit of knowledge of Hebrew, and by the end of the course was able not only to pass the exams, but I had also compiled a cookbook in a language I could read. When I showed my cookbook to the teacher some months later, she politely admired it, but sug- gested that it might be a good idea if I were to translate it all into Hebrew, so that she and others might be able to read and understand it too! Lotte Catford EGGPLANT CASSEROLE 2 eggplants water, salted 1 large onion, cut up 1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms 1 can mushroom soup (or tomato sauce, tomato soup or canned tomatoes) 1 c. bread stuffing mix Skin and cube eggplants; boil in lightly salted water for 10 minutes; drain.

Combine all the above with mushroom soup and crumbs and pour into a 10" round x 2" deep casserole. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes to 1 hour. For variations, you may add 2 or more beaten eggs, some tofu and cheese of your choice to make a protein meal. (Any or all of the preceding may be used.) If you use tomato sauce or tomato soup, use oregano and garlic for seasoning. A Mediterranean version is made by adding additional canned tomatoes and anchovies, gar- nished with artichoke hearts and olives. This may be served hot or cold.

Make a well in the center and add egg and fat. Stir to combine and add a little water at a time to make dough firm enough to handle. Toss onto a floured board and knead for about 3 minutes. Divide dough into 2 parts and roll each separately. Roll as thin as possible, rolling from edge toward the center. Sauté the onions in chicken fat until golden brown. Add to the potatoes along with the gribenes cut into small pieces. Add enough chicken fat to make the mixture have a sticky consistency. Season to taste. Put filling on dough in a line across one end of the dough. Roll as for jelly roll until filling is covered with 2 layers of dough. Cut off the roll and put another line of filling on dough, etc., repeating process until all dough and filling is used up. Cut the long rolls into pieces of desired size by pressing down on the roll with the pinky finger side of the hand all the way to the bottom so that the top layer of dough sticks to the bottom layer. Then cut completely through with a sharp knife. Turn the cake so one cut edge is down and the second cut edge shows on the top. Flatten a little with the palm of the hand, being careful not to press open the sealed edge and expose the filling. Bake on a very well greased cookie sheet at 375° until brown.

Roll dough on a lightly floured board to 1/8" thickness. Place filling in little mounds on half of the area of the dough. Distance between mounds will be determined by size of knishes desired. Fold empty half of dough over the side with the mounds of filling. Cut out rounds by placing a floured juice glass or other cutter around each spot where filling has been placed. Make sure edges are completely sealed. Fry knishes a few at a time in hot deep fat (vegetable shortening) until brown. Drain. Place them in covered casserole and put into a 250-300° oven for 30-45 minutes. Watch to see that too much moisture doesn't collect. If so, remove cover. Knishes should come out light and puffy. The amounts used are up to the individual's own judgment, and will depend on personal taste, number and size of the knishes being made. These can be made rather large and served as the major part of a meal, or can be extremely tiny, and used as an excellent hors d'oeuvre. These knishes are made in the true Rumanian style. The Hungarian people sometimes add sweet and sour cabbage and chicken gribenes to the filling.

Gradually add flour, salt and sugar to make a smooth paste. Add milk slowly, thinning mixture until it is practically a liquid. Beat constantly so there are no lumps. Put about 3 tablespoons of batter on a hot well greased skillet about 8" in diameter. Turn pan from side to side in order to spread batter quickly. Fry until light brown on 1 side only. Turn onto a cloth, fried side up. Sauté onions in butter until brown; add to mashed potatoes. Beat egg and add to mix- ture. Season and beat until smooth and fluffy. Place filling in center of each pancake on the fried side. Fold dough over in envelope fash- ion. Fry each blintze in butter until golden brown. Serve with sour cream. The unfried blintzes can be kept in the ice- box overnight and fried when needed. Re- move from the icebox 1-2 hours before ser- ving time so filling isn't ice cold when fried. When making larger quantities than given above, use 1 potato to fill every 2 blintzes. Suzanne Sarnoff PIROGEN (PIROZHKI) 1 c. sifted flour 3/4 t. salt 1/2 c. cooked riced potatoes 1 egg, well beaten 2 T. warm water 1/2 c. shortening Mix and sift flour and salt; add to potatoes. Make a well and add the egg and water. Mix well. Turn out on lightly floured board and knead until light and elastic. Roll out 1/4" thick. Cut with a floured 2 1/2" cutter. Roll out circles until they measure 3 1/2". Fill with 2 tablespoons of filling. Fold in half to form a semi-circle. Seal edges tightly. Turn 4 pirogen at a time into 1 quart boiling salted water. Boil 5 minutes, remove, drain, then fry in shortening until golden brown on each side. Serve with sour cream. A standard yeast dough or pastry dough can also be used for pirogen. With these types of dough the pirogen are baked rather than boiled, on a well greased pan at 375° until nicely browned.

My favorite combination is with distinctively flavored cheese (brinza) like Danish bleu, Gorgonzola or Roquefort. Louis Fraiberg VEGETARIAN LASAGNA 3 cloves garlic 2 containers ricotta cheese 1 lb. mozarella cheese 1 c. Parmesan (and/or Romano cheese) 3 eggs (or less, depend- ing on cholesterol conscience) 9 lasagna noodles 1 28-oz. can tomato solids 1 large can tomato sauce 2 large onions, diced 1/2 lb. mushrooms, sliced 1 green pepper, diced 2 large carrots, diagon- ally sliced 3 zucchini, sliced 3 T. olive oil Spices: a pinch cumin 1/2 t. lemon-pepper 1/4 t. basil or oregano Cook lasagna noodles in a large pot of water with salt and a few drops of olive oil until al dente. Then cool with cold water. In the olive oil, sauté the garlic, add the onion, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms and green peppers; sauté gently. When tender, add tomato sol- ids, tomato sauce and spices. Simmer 1 hour. Add a dollop of red wine if desired. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites until firm and set aside. To the beaten egg yolks, add the ricotta cheese and beat with a whisk or electric beater until combined. Then add 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese; combine. Fold in the egg whites. Assemble the ingredients: put a bit of sauce on the bottom of the pan. Then alternate 3 lasagna noodles, half of ricotta mixture spread on noodles, sauce, a shake or two of Parmesan cheese and 1/3 of mozarella sliced. On top layer of noodles, spread re- maining sauce and place mozarella slices in decorative pattern. Bake in a 9 1/2 x 13 x 2" pan, 325° for one hour. Cover with aluminum foil for 3/4 hour; remove foil last 1/4 hour. The basic lasagna recipe was given to me during my first year of marriage by the pro- prietor of an Italian specialty store in North Adams, Mass. I added the vegetables my- self later. You can choose which vegetables to use; emphasize only carrots one time, or only zucchini, onion, pepper another. lf you wish to limit salt intake, use fresh tomatoes and make up the sauce with them. This rec- ipe has fed many a Hashomer group. When Naomi was in the Ken, we were known as the "lasagna house." Yield: 8-10 servings Daryl M. Hafter --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Hada860042) Hada860042.txt DAVID EYRE'S PANCAKE 1/2 c. flour 1/2 c. milk 2 eggs, lightly beaten pinch of nutmeg 4 T. butter (or margarine) 2 T. confectioner's sugar juice of 1/2 lemon Preheat oven to 425°. In bowl, combine flour, milk, eggs and nutmeg. Beat lightly; leave batter a little lumpy. Melt butter in 12" skillet with heatproof handle. When very hot, pour in batter. Bake in oven 15-20 minutes or until pancake is golden brown. Sprinkle with sugar and return briefly to oven. Remove from oven and sprinkle with lemon juice. This may be served with jam. Yield: 2-4 servings Pearl Grosse POTATO KUGEL 6 large raw potatoes 3 eggs 1/4 c. flour 1 small onion, grated 1/2 c. shortening (or chicken fat) 1 t. baking powder 1 t. salt dash of pepper Grate the potatoes on a fine grater, drain off most of the water and add the remaining in- gredients. Mix well. Pour into a well greased, heated pudding dish (or individual cupcake tins) and bake at 400° for 1 hour or until a brown crust has formed on top. Serve hot. To make the pudding lighter in texture and color, one large cooked and mashed potato can be substituted for one of the raw potatoes. PROCESSOR POTATO KUGEL 1/4 c. oil 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks 1 large onion, quartered 3 eggs 1 1/2 t. salt (or to taste) 1/4 t. pepper 1/4 c. flour or potato starch Put oil in 8" square or 7 x 11" glass casserole. Preheat oven to 375°; put casserole in oven and heat till oil is hot, about 5 minutes. Put potatoes in processor with steel blade. Grater could be used, but I like the texture better with the steel knife. Process with sev- eral on/off turns till mixture is textured, but not liquidy. Transfer to a colander and let cold water run to keep potatoes white. Meanwhile process onion until minced. Add eggs and seasonings. Process for a few seconds. Press out water from potatoes and pat with paper towel to dry. Put in large mix- ing bowl with flour, other ingredients and 3 tablespoons of the hot oil. Mix this well. Pour potato mixture into casserole and sprinkle with a little more oil on top. Bake uncovered at 375° for about 1 hour or until top is brown and crispy. I have doubled this recipe successfully, using a 13 x 9" casserole. It may seem to have too much oil when you pour batter in, but this will be absorbed during baking. Yield: 6-8 servings.

Marilyn Krimm --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Hada860056) Hada860056.txt MEAT --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Hada860057) Hada860057.txt Tcholent, called "shalet" in some regions, is a meal-in-one dish, designed to meet the need for a hot food on the Sabbath, when cooking is prohibited. The origin of this dish is unknown. There is a theory that the word tcholent may have originated in France from the word chaud, meaning hot. Another theory is that it might have had its origin in the two German words, shule ende (end of syna- gogue services), and was corrupted in sound to the current term, tcholent. There are several varieties of tcholent, depending on regional differences. It may be composed of very inexpensive ingredients, or include as lavish contents as the budget permits. Vegetables other than those specifically mentioned in the recipe may be added. Regardless of the ingredients, it is the method of prepara- tion, the slow cooking or baking, that gives tcholent its character. TCHOLENT 2 large onions, diced 2 T. chicken fat 1/2 lb. dried lima beans (soaked in cold water until tender) 8-10 medium potatoes, quartered 2 lbs. beef (brisket, short ribs or chuck) 2 T. flour salt, pepper, paprika to taste boiling water to cover Sauté onions in hot fat in the bottom of a Dutch oven or any other heavy iron pot with a tight fitting lid. When onions are brown, add the beans, potatoes and place meat in the center. Mix flour and seasonings and sprin- kle over top. Add boiling water to cover. Close lid and cook over low heat for 3-4 hours. Lift cover to make sure no additional water is needed; cover and place in a 375° oven for 1/2 hour. Lower heat to 225° and al- low to stay all day or overnight. Keep cov- ered tightly, no basting, and no peeping! The pot may be given an occasional shake or two before being placed in the oven. The tcholent can also be cooked on the top of the stove. After the first 3-4 hours, place the pot on an asbestos pad over a simmer flame. The flame should be as low as possible with- out the danger of it extinguishing during the night. Let the pot sit on the stove until ready to serve. BRISKET 1 brisket of beef 6 onions, cut up or sliced (you may use more, if you wish) Place half the onions on the bottom of the roasting pan. Place brisket on top of onions. Cover the meat with the rest of the onions. Cover pan tightly, using foil if necessary for a tight cover. Bake in a slow oven, 275° for at least 2 hours. Test with fork for tenderness. Recover tightly if more cooking is needed. Usually there is enough juice from the meat; if not, add hot water to keep meat from burning. Cook this 1 day in advance and refrigerate to let the fat congeal. Next day, remove the fat from the surface. Meat can now be sliced, reheated or frozen. Leftovers are great for sandwiches. My mother, Lillian Geitheim, used this reci- pe almost every week for as long as I can remember. Ray Juni BRISKET OF BEEF 1 brisket of beef salt, garlic salt, pepper to taste 3-6 onions, sliced bay leaf Brown the brisket in a preheated Dutch oven on the top of the stove. Add onions and bay leaf. Bake at 350°, covered, till almost tender, but not quite, about 3 hours. Drain off and reserve the gravy, and let the brisket get cold. This is best if made 1-2 days before serving. Slice meat, return gravy to pan and reheat. It freezes magnificently. Deborah Freedman (Ed. Note: You may continue cooking after browning on top of the stove. Cover and turn down heat.

Freeze. Before re-cook- ing, defrost, then heat covered for 1 hour. A good dish when you're busy. You can pre- pare in advance and then reheat. Delicious!

Mix oil, salt, sugar and boiling water in large bowl; cool to lukewarm. Beat eggs into yeast, then add to other mixture. Add 4 cups flour and beat well with a wooden spoon or dough hook of elec- tric mixer. Stir in enough additional flour to make a firm dough that cleans the bowl. Knead until smooth and elastic. Put in oiled large bowl and turn to grease the top of the dough. Cover tightly with a sheet of plastic wrap and let rise 1 hour, until doubled. Punch down and divide into 3 parts. Divide each part into 4, taking 1 section for top and dividing it by 3, so for each bread there are 3 pieces to braid for bottom and 3 small pieces to braid for top. Roll each piece into a snake and braid them together. Put large braid on bottom; place smaller on top. Pinch sides to adhere 2 braids. Grease a baking pan. Place challah on pan, brush with egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. Set aside for 35 minutes to double. Bake in 375° oven for approximately 30 minutes (or 15 minutes at 425°), then 15 minutes at 350°. Phyllis Herzig AUNT LORE'S BREAD 1 c. milk, warmed 1 pkg. yeast 1 egg, beaten 4 T. butter 3/4 t. salt 4 c. flour 1 t. honey Mix half of milk with yeast and let rise; add other half of milk to beaten egg. Combine all ingredients and knead well. Let rise till dou- ble in bulk. Shape into loaf and let rise again. Grease 9 x 5" pan. Bake at 400° for 35 minutes. Anne Sichel RYE BREAD 2 c. lukewarm water 1/2 oz. dry yeast (2 pkgs.) 2 T. sugar 1 1/2-2 c. rye flour (or more if necessary) (Do not use stone ground flour, the texture is too coarse.) 1 T. salt 4 c. white flour 3 T. caraway seeds Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup water; add remain- ing water, sugar, salt, white flour and cara- way seed. Stir for 1-2 minutes with a heavy spoon until creamy. Cover with a damp cloth and let stand 3-4 hours in a warm place. (Sponge will be very sticky.) Stir in enough rye flour to make a firm dough and knead about 5 minutes. Put in lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 50 min- utes). Punch down and knead for 3 minutes, adding enough rye flour to make a firm dough which will hold its shape. Divide in 2; shape into 2 loaves. Put loaves on baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Let rise un- covered in a warm place until less than dou- bled (about 50 minutes). Heat oven to 425°; put a shallow pan of hot water on lowest rack. Brush loaves with salt water (1 tea- spoon salt dissolved in 1/4 cup water), and if you like, slash each loaf 3 or 4 times diago- nally. After 20 minutes, remove pan of water from oven and brush again with salt water. Continue baking until done (50 minutes to 1 hour). Remove bread to racks to cool; brush again with salt water. If you like kimmel rye, when you shape the loaves, knead into each loaf 1 teaspoon of kimmel.

In a 2 cup meas- ure, combine dry yeast, sugar and warm water (slightly warmer than a baby's bottle). Let this mixture bubble up (this is called "proofing".) In a glass or cup, break eggs, individually, checking for blood spots. Transfer one at a time to small bowl; beat slightly. Add eggs and yeast to cooled mixture in large bowl. Beat in 4 cups flour (I usually use bread flour, but all-purpose flour is satisfactory) using a wooden spoon. Beat in 3 additional cups flour; finally knead in approximately 1 cup more flour. (Yes, total is about 8 cups!) If you use a big enough bowl, you can knead in the bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Re- frigerate until double in size, at least 3 hours; best if left overnight. "Punch down" and knead. Braid into loaves. Place on greased baking sheet and let rise 1 -1 1/2 hours for chal- lah. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds, if desired. Bake in 350° oven for about 35 minutes, until nicely browned. Cool on rack. This is a lifesaver for an employed woman who desires a traditional Shabbat with homemade challot. Mix and refrigerate on Wednesday after work, form, rise and bake on Thursday. Enjoy for Shabbat dinner. Yield: This makes 3 challot, two dozen rolls or 48 hamantashen. Martha Oleinick MOTHER'S BROWN BREAD 9 c. lukewarm water 1 1/2 T. dry yeast 4 1/2 c. whole wheat flour (preferably a coarse variety) 9 c. rye flour 3 T. salt 3 T. dark molasses 4 1/2 c. white flour Put water into a large roasting pan; the dough rises a lot. Add yeast and stir until dis- solved. Add the whole wheat flour and half of the rye flour. Stir well, cover and leave on the counter for about 15 hours (a bit more or less will not hurt.) Next, add salt and molasses and mix well; add the remainder of the flour. This gets stiff and must be mixed in very well. Let it sit about 4 hours. This will rise a great deal, forming a loose sticky sponge. Flour a pastry cloth very well with white flour, leaving some excess of flour on it. Prepare 6 bread pans, using a spray or grease well. Pre-heat oven to 425°. Scoop up enough dough to half fill a bread pan and put on floured cloth, turning to coat with the flour so it can be worked. (The stickiness will be con- tained once it is coated with flour.) Knead enough to form into a nice loaf and put in pan. Continue with the rest of the pans. When they are all done, wet your hand, and with it, wet the tops of the loaves and press into the corners of the pans a bit. Let sit 10 minutes, then bake 1 1/4 hours. Take out of pans and put on racks to cool. Loaves freeze very well. Recipe can easily be halved. When I growing up in a little Upper Penin- sula town, there was only a small Jewish community and none of the conveniences which families now have for keeping kosher. Our meat came 250 miles by train from Milwaukee and Jewish rye bread was only an occasional treat, when my father made a rare trip to Chicago. Most of the Jewish families made all their own bread to make sure no dairy products were in the bread. Besides, it was much better than the local store-bought variety. My mother made brown bread and white bread, plus bagels, onion rolls and even kaiser rolls every week, but the brown bread is right at home in the new "natural foods" environment of today. Yield: 6 loaves Deborah Freedman --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Hada860073) Hada860073.txt BAGELS 5 c. flour 1 cake yeast 1 c. warm water 2 T. sugar 2 t. salt 3 T. shortening 2 eggs, beaten poppy seeds (optional) Place flour in a large bowl. Dissolve crumbled yeast in water and add sugar. Make a well in the flour and add the salt and shortening. When yeast begins to rise on top of water and looks bubbly and soft, pour mix- ture into the well in the flour. Add beaten eggs to well and mix batter from center out- ward until thoroughly blended. When stiff, knead with hands in the bowl. If necessary, more water can be added at this point to ab- sorb the flour. Cover bowl with a towel and let rise a couple of hours until double in bulk. Then punch dough down by kneading again. Let rise a second time, approximately 1 hour. Cut off pieces of dough and roll with hands on a lightly floured board, until you have a strip 10-12" long and 1/2-3/4" in diameter. Join edges of strip to make a large ring. Repeat until dough is used up. This should make ap- proximately 2 dozen bagels. Heat oven to 400° and grease the wire racks. Place 3 rings at a time into rapidly boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with poppy seeds, if desired, as bagels rise to surface of water. Remove bagels from water, (they should be stiff enough to lift out with a fork.) Place on racks in oven as quickly as possi- ble to avoid excess rising. Bake for 15-20 minutes until first side is golden brown. Re- duce oven to 350° and turn bagels; bake 10-15 minutes longer until second side is brown. This recipe makes a soft "egg" type bagel. It is not as hard and dense as the typical "water" type bagel.

Leave in warm place for 10-12 minutes to activate yeast. In a large mixing bowl, put flour, sugar and salt; add lemon zest. Make a well; add eggs, mar- garine, milk and yeast mixture. First use a wooden spoon for working liquids into flour. Knead by hand or with kneading hook (in an electric mixer) until dough is smooth and elastic. (By hand it will take from 10-14 min- utes.) If dough is too sticky, add up to 3 table- spoons flour. Grease bowl turning dough around. Cover with plastic wrap and towel. Let rise in warm place (70-80°) for 1 hour or until it doubles in bulk. Place dough on lightly floured board. Knead for 1 minute. Cut dough into 21 (30) pieces. Take 1 piece of dough, cut into 3 pieces. Roll each piece to 8" long strands and braid the three strands (like braiding a child's hair). Holding one end of the braided piece flat on the board, twist the rest into a circle and tuck the other end in. Repeat the procedure with the rest of the dough. Grease 2 large bak- ing pans or cookie sheets. Place braided brioches on them. Return to warm place and let them rise for 30-45 minutes. Beat egg yolk with water, and with a pastry brush paint brioches on sides and tops. (If 1 egg yolk is not enough, add another to mix- ture). Bake for 20-25 minutes at 375° (or until golden). This recipe freezes well. Reheat before serving at 300° for 8-12 minutes. Yield: 21 3-oz.

Roll dough out; cut into rounds; fill with a spoonful of filling; form into triangles. Bake at 375° for 15-30 minutes until delicately browned. Any sweet yeast cake dough can be used for hamantashen. Some people prefer an unsweetened challah dough. When using yeast dough, roll as thin as possible, shape and fill, and then allow cakes to stand a while to rise before baking. Use oven tem- perature recommended for the type of dough used. Bake until lightly browned. Filling #1: Pour boiling water over poppy seeds, let stand until seeds have settled at bottom, and drain. Put seeds through finest blade of food chopper. Add egg, stirring it in well, add sugar, and mix thoroughly.

Rotterdam cruise through the Panama Canal remem- bered that Purim would be celebrated dur- ing the cruise. She decided to ask the chief baker (who was Spanish) to bake some ha- mantashen, giving him the above recipe and a tip of $100. He followed her instruc- tions-the results were delicious. She was so pleased that she gave him another $100! After that Purim, which fell on a Friday, he baked hamantashen every Friday for the rest of the cruise. Yield: makes about 2 dozen large or more, depending on the size preferred.

Spread with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mix- ture. Bake on greased floured cookie sheet (slices should be standing upright) at 350° for 20-25 minutes until slightly brown. Number of slices will depend on how large or small the slices are cut, 1-2" suggested. This recipe is a cross between a cookie and a shtrudel slice. My mother's mother made this each year for Succoth. My mother de- veloped the recipe amounts after several years of trial and tasting. She has made it each year for 50 years. Now I have begun making it.

Dough should be soft but stiff enough to roll. Roll with hands by bits into long ropes 1/2" in diameter. Use very little flour in rolling to avoid toughness. Slice in 1/2" lengths. Heat oven to 350°. In a shallow broad-bottomed pan, boil the honey, ginger and sugar. Put particles of raw dough into boiling syrup. Then place pan immedi- ately into the oven. Do not open for first 15-20 minutes. By this time the honey will have coated each piece of dough. Now, stir every 10 minutes to prevent particles from sticking to each other. Bake for 1 hour. The pieces should be brown and when tested in cold water should remain firm and crisp. Pour onto moistened board, flatten, sprinkle nuts on top and cut into squares. Will keep indefinitely.

INGBER'S APPLE CAKE OR TORTE DOUGH: 1 c. sugar 1/2 c. shortening or butter 2 eggs 1/4 t. salt 1 c. liquid (juice of 1 lemon and 1 orange) 4 c. flour 2 t. baking powder FILLING: 5-6 large tart cooking apples, unpeeled juice of 1/2 lemon 3/4-1 c. sugar to taste 1 t. cinnamon Cream sugar and shortening well. Add eggs and beat thoroughly. Mix dry ingredients and add to batter alternately with the liquid, mix- ing thoroughly. Roll approximately half the dough on a floured board to 1/4" thickness. Place in greased 9 x 13 x 2" pan and spread the dough so it lines the bottom and sides of pan. (A larger pan can be used if desired. The recipe will make one 9 x 13 x 2" cake with a little dough left over for cookies. Half the recipe will fill an 8 x 8 x 2" pan.) To make filling, remove core from the apples and, without peeling, grate them on a very coarse grater; sprinkle with lemon juice and add sugar to taste. Amount will depend on the natural sweetness of the apples. Add cinnamon and mix well. Spread filling evenly over dough in pan. Sprinkle the top lightly with sugar cinnamon mixture. Roll other half of dough to 1/4" thickness. Place on top of layer of apples and pinch it against the sides of the pan to seal over fill- ing. Sprinkle surface lightly with a few drops of water, then rather generously with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Mark off squares by cutting through the top layer of dough, just to level of apples. Prick the cen- ter of each square to allow steam to escape. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until lightly browned. This dough can be kept in the refrigerator for about 1 week and used as needed. It is also good for little cookies made with a cut- ter or rolled by hand, then dipped in sugar cinnamon mixture or nuts. HUNGARIAN APPLE CAKE OR TORTE 12 apples, pared and sliced 1 c. sugar 1/2 lb. sweet butter 3 c. flour 1/4 t. salt minute tapioca 1 egg grated rind of 1 lemon 5 T. sour cream (when making cookies, use 1/2 milk and 1/2 sour cream) extra sugar apricot jam cinnamon walnuts, chopped Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over apples and let stand while preparing dough. Crumble to- gether the butter, flour, salt and 3 table- spoons of sugar into a coarse mixture. Make a well in the center and add the egg and lemon rind; blend together. Add 4 table- spoons of the sour cream and blend. Add the rest of the sour cream, blending well. Knead dough on a floured board until smooth. Divide into 3 parts. Roll out 1 part of dough on lightly floured board. Place on bottom and partly up the sides of a greased large cake pan. Prick the dough with a fork. Sprinkle just enough min- ute tapioca to cover dough. Sprinkle dough with 1/8 cup sugar. Spread apples over and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and lightly with cinnamon. Roll out second part of dough quite thin and cover apples. Trim off excess and prick with fork. Spread with thick apricot jam. Roll out third part of dough (not so thin) and cut into long strips. Lay strips over top diagonally. Stir an egg white lightly and brush over strips. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and a little sugar. Bake 1 hour at 350°. The forte is the Jewish counterpart of the pie, with this difference: whereas in the pie, the filling plays the most important part, in the torte, the filling must share honors equally with the crumbly cookie dough crust that surrounds it. Like the pie, how- ever, the torte may be filled with any kind of fruit, and instead of a top layer of dough, a lattice top may be used.

Yield: 8 servings Miriam Shaw BETTY BECKER'S SLIMMER'S CHEESE PIE (Crustless) 2 extra-large eggs 2 c. cottage cheese (1% milkfat), creamed but not watery 1/2 c. sugar 2 T. flour 1 c. lemon yogurt (pour off water on top) 1 T. fresh lemon juice 1 t. pure vanilla extract (cinnamon for sprinkling on top of pie before baking) Pre-heat oven 325°-350° and spray a 9" deep-dish pie plate well with vegetable spray. In blender place eggs and 1 cup of the cottage cheese, blending till smooth; add rest of cheese and sugar, blending again till smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend just till thoroughly mixed. Pour into greased pie plate and sprinkle nicely with cinnamon. Place in pre-heated oven on mid- dle rack and bake about 45 minutes, or till puffed and browned at edges. Cool on rack, then refrigerate. Serve chilled but not cold. Cuts beautifully and is smooth, light, and creamy. Delicious plain or served with fruit (fresh or cooked and thickened). You can also add 1/2 cup of well-drained crushed canned pineapple to batter before baking. (There should be at least 1/2" of extra space in pie plate.) You can adjust flavoring to taste and, if not counting calories, use the higher milkfat cottage cheese for a richer pie. A special hint: for most efficient use of lemon juice and rind, squeeze 1-2 lemon halves in advance, place juice in small jar in fridge and place lemon shells in small plas- tic bag in freezer; so simple to grate when needed, and juice keeps for a few days.

(The dough will be very sticky. Add a little more flour if necessary, but don't make the dough too stiff. Refrigeration will make it easier to handle.) Refrigerate overnight or for 2-3 hours. Cut dough into quarters. Roll out on a floured board into a rectangle as thin as you can (1/8") and still be able to handle it. Spread with apricot jam and sprinkle with crushed vanilla wafers and chopped walnuts. Do not put filling closer than 1" from the edges. Be- gin to roll into a jelly roll shape. Start at a long side, roll twice, fold in the side edges, then continue to roll up. (This keeps the filling from leaking out.) Place on a greased cookie sheet, seam side down, and gently pat the roll flat on top. It should be about 2 1/2 x 12" long. Bake at 375° about 30-45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on rack, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into 1" slices. Another optional filling is 1 can "Solo" pop- pyseed filling mixed with 1 cup apricot jam. Ronnie Simon APPLE SHTRUDEL PASTRY: 3 c. flour 1/2 t. salt 1 egg 1/2 c. oil 1 t. vinegar 3/4 c. warm water FILLING: melted margarine bread crumbs cinnamon-sugar mixture canned, prepared sliced apples or 3 lbs. Granny Smith apples lemon juice (if needed) raisins chopped nuts jam (or marmalade) Mix all pastry ingredients together. Knead for about 10 minutes. Let pastry rest for at least 10 minutes before rolling out thin on a floured cloth. Turn the cloth frequently when turning it to roll out, so as not to break the dough. Seal the ends so the apple does not run out. Brush the pastry with melted margarine. Sprinkle first with the bread crumbs, then cinnamon-sugar mixture. Top this with the apple slices. Over this, sprinkle the raisins and chopped nuts; dot with jam or marmalade. Roll up the pastry. Before baking, mark the top to make slicing easier. Brush with more melted margarine. Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes. I used to use a plain pastry cloth and won- dered why my dough was not as thin as my grandmother's was. I used to see a pattern on her dough when she rolled it out. Then I realized that she used a tablecloth, and the pattern of the flowers imprinted itself on the dough, so she then knew it was thin enough!

Beat egg whites until stiff; fold gen- tly into cake mixture. Pour into crumb crust and bake for 1 hour at 350°. Allow cake to cool in oven with the door open. This pre- vents excess falling in. However, the cake will drop a little. Don't worry about it, as it is unavoidable. Eunice Cook Ed. Note: This recipe is the only one Eunice knows that is cheese cake with a Yiddishe tam. It was given to her by an aunt who demonstrated it for a Haddassah chapter. The secret lies in the use of farmer cheese which gives it its unique taste. The farmer cheese is very easy to handle, blends easily, is moist and not crumbly like cottage cheese. It has a delicious flavor.

In biblical times the use of wine was obligatory both in public religious functions and for domestic cere- monial occasions. The references to wine as a means of promot- ing joy, as a sign of the bountiful gifts of providence, and as a token of personal gratitude to the creator are numerous throughout the Bible. How highly wine is regarded in the Bible may be seen from the fact that in a figurative sense Israel is called a vine. Later the rabbis used wine as a metaphor not only to represent Israel but also the Torah, the Messiah, and holy men. In the Talmud it is stated that in the world to come the righteous will drink wine from the grapes grown during the days of creation. The greatest blessing in the conception of the Hebrew people, the blessing of peace, is represented by the picture of a man rest- ing under his vine and fig tree. Abundance of wine is in the Bible an indication of prosperity, and to offer bread and wine to a guest is a sign of friendship and hospitality. The rabbis held that taken in moderation wine is not only a healthful stimulant but is possessed of great curative properties, the best of all medicines. However, drunkeness was strictly forbid- den. It was the custom in Talmudic times to give ten cups of wine to mourners with the "meal of consolation". The use of wine has been continued at religious functions in the synagogue and in the Jewish home on all festive occasions to this very day. CONCORD GRAPE WINE I 10 lbs. ripe grapes, stemmed 5 lbs. sugar Put grapes in an open crock and squeeze or mash by using 2 smooth boards. Cover crock with muslin and let stand at room tem- perature for 1 week. Stir once or twice during that period. Strain through muslin. Do not squeeze the mashed grapes while straining. Return wine to the crock and add the sugar, dissolved with some of the grape juice. Cover with muslin and let stand 7 days longer at room temperature. Fill bottles with wine, but do not cork tightly. Store away from light for 1 month. Taste and add more dis- solved sugar if desired. Store in a cool place away from light. Will be ready for use in 3 months. Matures and increases in strength rapidly after that initial period. Yield: approximately 2-2 1/2 gallons CONCORD GRAPE WINE II 10 lbs. ripe grapes, stemmed 3 qts. boiling water 5 lbs. sugar Put grapes in crock and pour in boiling water. When cool enough to handle, squeeze with hands without crushing seeds. The grapes need not be mashed to a dry pulp. Cover with muslin and let stand 3 days. Strain through muslin, squeezing lightly. Add sugar and stir. Cover and let stand 1 week. Uncover and skim carefully. Strain again, bottle and cork tightly. Lay bottle on side and store in a cool place away from light. Ready for use in 2-3 months. Yield: about 2 gallons --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Hada860101) Hada860101.txt RAISIN WINE 2 lbs. light raisins 6 qts. cold water 1 lb. sugar 1 lemon, rind and juice 3 sticks cinnamon (approx. 1 oz.) Chop raisins and add other ingredients in the order listed, using a large well covered crock. Let stand covered at room tem- perature for 1 week. Stir once a day to keep mixture well under the cover. Fermentation will make the liquid rise and bubble over if not given at least 4" of space under the cover. Strain at the end of the week. (A mus- lin cloth placed in a large funnel over another crock makes an excellent strainer.) Place liquid in bottles, cover tightly and store in a cool place away from light, at least 2 weeks before using. Yield: approximately 1 1/2 gallons PEACH BRANDY Clingstone peaches 3-4 c. sugar to each 2-qt. jar Use peaches when ripe, but not soft to the pressure of finger tip. Pack peaches in 2- quart glass jars with wide openings. Pour proper amount of sugar into jars and adjust covers loosely. Shake jars once a day for 1 week or until juice begins to form and all sugar is dissolved. The juice should cover the fruit by that time. Tighten lids and store in a cool dark place for 3 months. The brandy may be strained and bottled any time after that. Yield depends on juiciness of the fruit. CHERRY CORDIAL 6 lbs. large sweet cherries 2 1/2 lbs. sugar 1/2 pt. brandy 1/2 qt. boiled water, chilled Stem, wash and drain cherries. Place in crock and add sugar and brandy. Cover with double fold of muslin. Keep at room tem- perature. Stir each day for 4-5 days to dis- solve the sugar completely. Cover tightly, and let stand 2 weeks. Stir in water, cover and store in cool place. Can be bottled after 6 weeks. The cherries drained from this cor- dial may be used for preserves. They are de- licious eaten just as is. Yield depends upon juiciness of cherries. HALINA'S CHERRY LIQUEUR 1 quart jar sour cherries, to fill jar, 2/3 or 3/4 of capacity 1 c. sugar vodka or grain neutral spirits Cherries should be freshly picked, not pit- ted.

Cover the open jar with a thin piece of cloth. Place this in a warm place for about 3 weeks. Peek at it every 2 or 3 days so you can pick off any mold that may form. When this sours, it is ready to use. Beets from rossel are good in borscht. And now for the horseradish. Select a fresh root. Clean it and cut it into pieces. Shred this with a bit of water in your blender. If you did not make rossel, use a little salt and vin- egar to make it tasty. If you made rossel, add a little at a time until you like the color and it suits your taste.

Ada Margolis MATZO POTATO KUGEL 6 large Idaho potatoes, raw 1/2 c. matzo meal 1 1/2 t. salt and a turn or 2 of fresh ground pepper 6 eggs 3 T. chicken fat (or oil) 1 medium onion Use a 3-quart oblong glass baking dish. Peel potatoes and soak in ice water about 1/2 hour. Beat eggs until thick (about 15 min- utes). Have eggs ready when you start to grate potatoes. Also heat oven to 375°. Grate potatoes into a large bowl using me- dium grater. Do not use fine holes or your pudding will be heavy. Grate quickly, using a long stroke. Grate onion fine. Mix grated vegetables, seasoning, eggs; add matzo meal last. Melt chicken fat in baking dish in oven. Pour potato mixture into hot dish. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until nice and brown. You may prepare this early in the day and bake your kugel for 1/2 an hour. Finish baking when you are ready to serve. You may pre- pare this ahead of time and cover with plas- tic wrap, with the wrap touching the pud- ding in the baking dish. The big problem with potato kugel is that the potatoes turn dark. One avoids this by mixing and baking as soon as potatoes are grated. Mildred Carron Ed Note: by using the food processor to grate potatoes, you can speed the grating process and avoid potatoes browning. Eggs may also be beaten in processor after potatoes are poured into baking dish.
