Challah

It is one of the most popular foods in Israel, but also one of the most maligned by diet and health enthusiasts. It turns out there are several ways to incorporate challah into your diet more correctly — on Fridays, holidays, and weekdays. And also: what does a dietitian think about schnitzel in challah? The answer will surprise you.

A round challah is already a Rosh Hashanah tradition, and this version adds honey both to the dough and after baking. Ahead of the holiday, pastry chef Chen Cohen presents a recipe for a festive round challah that can also be prepared in a dairy version.

Fish roasted in butter and wine with cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives, cloud challah that will soak up all its sauce, as well as a lettuce salad with a precise vinaigrette, potato gratin, and the trendiest dessert that no one in the world would refuse. After a meal like this, you can absolutely present a bill.

The siniya kebab is baked in the oven, the eggplants are prepared without frying, the challah is baked to perfection, and the dessert is rolled into bite-sized treats: this Friday meal is effortless yet incredibly rewarding.
