The food of Rosh Hashana, re-imagined

The World

Year in and year out families gather to commemorate holidays and special events with iconic foods: at the Lunar New Year, dumplings; at Thanksgiving, turkey; and Rosh Hashana brings brisket. Celebratory foods connect us to our culture. Can we re-imagine these foods for modern palates without upsetting family members and vital cultural traditions? The answer is yes, and deliciously. Out with the brisket and in with the osso buco when Melissa Clark re-imagines the food of Rosh Hashana. Guests: Melissa Clark, New York Times food writer, and Patrik Henry Bass, Takeaway contributor and ESSENCE magazine senior editor
