Recipes by Inna

Last November we hosted guests from faraway Sydney, Australia. My friend Raymond Chung came with wife Wilie and daughter Melissa. As it happens, Inna prepared many delicious meals. Wilie was really impressed with the variety and taste. We thought that praises were over when they left, but just before this Christmas came a request to send a recipe for one of Inna's favorites - backed mushroom casserole.

Rosh ha-Shana symbols (RU)

Опубликовано на Фейсбук страничке ресторана "Баба Яга", Тель Авив, Израиль Обмакивание дольки яблока в мед, символизирует пожелание сладкого нового года. Морковь символизирует просьбу к Всевышнему об увеличении заслуг. Лук и свекла символизирует просьбу к Всевышнему об уничтожении наших врагов. Финики символизирует просьбу к Всевышнему об уничтожении всех наши ненавистников. Тыква символизирует просьбу к Всевышнему разорвать наши приговоры и провозгласить наши заслуги. Гранат символизирует «чтобы заслуг наших стало много, словно зернышек в гранате». В гранате есть всего 613 зернышек, по количеству заповедей Торы. Рыба символизирует, чтобы «множиться на земле, точно рыбы в море». Баранья голова символизирует память о ягненке, принесенном в жертву вместо Ицхака ,чтобы в наступающем году «быть головой, а не хвостом».

I really do want him - and Avidan - to be able to care to himself including preparing some food. A year or more ago we even bought a book by Ruth Sirkis "Kids cook" (Hebrew version can be found at the site ). Indeed, Shavit cooked by this lovely book.
