Links to Food & Dining On-Line
The amount of info on the web is enormous, as
anyone who's ever tried to run a search can attest to. And, to put it all
in context, best estimates say that only a fraction, maybe 20 - 40 % of what's
out there is actually making its way to the search engines.
Well ...
Here at DownStreet, we'd like to try to help. So
each issue, we post a few links in Food & Dining to sites that might
interest you. Sometimes the links will be related to one another
... sometimes we'll just offer up a somewhat random sampling. In
either case, we think we might be able to help you find the kind of site you've
been looking for.
Of course, while we can't vouch for the fact that every link
we provide will be of interest to everyone, we do our best to filter out the
noise and the bustle. ...
We hope you enjoy the following sites as much as we do.
Oy! Goy ... You Don't Have to Be Jewish:
Recipes for Next Year's Rosh Hashanah Meal
-
RFCJ
- Rosh Hashanah
What is RFCJ? It's a web site you wouldn't believe.
... RFCJ stands for rec.food.cuisine.jewish. As anyone who got
to the internet early knows, that kind of nomer is a giveaway for something
that began {and still continues} as a newsgroup -- a collection of folks
interested in a specific topic, in this case, Jewish cuisine, who post and
share info on-line.
This link will take you to a mere 200-plus Rosh Hashanah recipes, a
small fraction of the total number of recipes available on this site.
The recipes are listed in alphabetical order. Simply click on one of
them and it will take you to the recipe.
Among the Rosh Hashanah recipes here, you'll find everything from
Apple Meringue to Zucchini with Currants and Almonds ... not to mention, in
between, recipes for Cakes [30], Cookies [17], Strudel [6], Tayglach {a
crunchy dough boiled in honey} [5], and Tzimmes {a mélange of harvest
vegetables, with or without brisket, dumplings, etc.} [15!]. If you
want recipes for Kugel --a baked noodle dish that usually weighs in at
about 20 lbs./sq. inch -- your best bet is to do a search over on the left
side of the window. We did, and came up with the first 20 recipes of
{ready?} 148!
OK. So you're on a diet. But if you follow the Jewish tradition,
you'll be fasting for a whole day come Yom Kippur anyway,
right!?! Meanwhile, why not enjoy?!? This site will teach you
how. Rating: ***** [5 stars]

Apricot Capon, Traditional Pot Roast, Sweet and Sour Brisket,
Apple-Honey-Raisin Lokshun Kugel (Pareve), Tayglach (Pareve), and Honey Cake

worth a visit. It's an obvious labor of love. Rating: ***1/2 [3 1/2
