The holidays for me are all about family and food. I love to cook, I love to host, and I love to feed my family! Whether it is Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Thanksgiving, Passover, or Shavuot, I enjoy the traditions of each holiday and the recipes that go with them. On this Christmas day I can imagine families around the world feeling the exact same way, relishing the moments when families gather to enjoy the comfort of a wonderful home cooked meal. We can all universally share these emotions of joy and contentment with bellies full of delicious food.
Of course, the menu for each holiday is a large contributing factor to the enjoyment of the day! If you think about it, we make certain recipes only once or twice a year, just for the holidays. But that is exactly what makes the food so special. We look forward to Bubbie’s stuffing on Thanksgiving, Or Safta’s gefilte fish on Rosh Hashanah and Passover, or my sweet potato bake on Thanksgiving. It would no longer have that memorable quality if we had it for dinner every Sunday. We crave those special recipes and we savor the moment when the holiday arrives and we can enjoy them with our favorite people!
Silver Linings Cooking would like to wish everyone happy holidays. Enjoy your families and your delicious food, and let us all be grateful for the blessings in our lives !
