The Jewish High Holidays are quickly approaching and the question of what to
serve is on many people’s minds. You’ll find lots of “food for thought” at
Gourmania.com!
Sweet
Potato Shepherd’s Pie is so incredibly outstanding!
We couldn’t get enough of it! I had to take the bowl off of the table
and into the freezer or my daughter and I would have finished two pounds of
ground turkey and four sweet potatoes. Many thanks once again for your recipes
that are so tasty, healthy and easy to prepare.

long time fan

Whether
for a
Labour Day
party or a private picnic, Lemon
Dill Chicken in a Pouch is a perfect dish for one person or for a crowd.
Easy and versatile. Leftovers are delicious thinly
sliced and served on crusty rolls or in a salad.
And
why not try one of the Healthiest Meals on Earth: Broiled
Salmon with Tamari-Orange Marinade
Rosh
Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins at sundown on Monday evening,
September 29, 2008. Sweet foods such as honey, carrots, apples and dried
fruits are served, expressing the wish for a happy, sweet year ahead. Try my
Honey Apple Cake or any of
the delicious dishes that come from my "pan-pals" over the miles.

Here's a great tip for a
Labour Day
(or any other day) picnic: Freeze juice cartons for use as
ice packs in coolers, then defrost and drink. Click
here for Norene’s article on “Food for Savvy Summer Travel” for some terrific tips for the Kosher traveler.
Yom
Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins at sundown on Wednesday evening,
Oct. 8, 2008. In order to avoid thirst during the fast, avoid spicy, salty
foods. Eat moderate amounts of protein and include foods that are high in
complex carbohydrates. Be sure to drink adequate liquids before and after
fasting to prevent dehydration. Here are some recipes to serve for
Breaking of the Fast. |

HELP
FOR NEW ORLEANS
My staff and I collected cookbooks (mostly Jewish or Kosher, but not all) from friends and customers, plus some “hurt” copies of cookbooks that I’ve written.
The books were sent to New Orleans recently to help replenish cookbooks lost in Hurricane Katrina.
A small group of Jewish teens from Toronto from BBYO (Bnai Brith Youth Organization) went down from Toronto to help with the
clean-up and when I read that they were going, I contacted one of the chaperones. They were so excited and took the cookbooks with them in their luggage, where they presented them to Betty Lazarus, a librarian, who is in charge of collecting cookbooks for Jewish families in
New Orleans.
The books were greatly appreciated and so was the wonderful emotional and physical support. The lives of these young teenagers were touched in a wonderful way.
As a result of connecting with BBYO through our little project, I
did a fundraising cooking demonstration for them
on Tuesday, November 13, in Toronto, so one good deed often leads to other good opportunities.
Hopefully, this story will inspire others to help in some small way.
All the best,
Norene Gilletz, CCP
