Yom Kippur, the long fast day is almost upon us. As it is a commandment to fast on Yom Kippur (the fast goes from sunset till the end of the following day when night arrives), so to, it is considered a commandment to eat the day before Yom Kippur. In Israel, from 2 PM on the eve of Yom Kippur, all radio and TV stops, there is no public transportation, Ben Gurion airport shuts down - and the country begins preparations for the holiest day of the year. Before Yom Kippur, we sit down for what is known in Hebrew, as a "Seudah Maphseket". This literally means the "meal which stops" or "the meal which divides". As readers of Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen , in kosher homes, we divide meat from milk. Thus some families will have meat based meals before the fast and others will have dairy or vegetarian based meals. It all depends on the stomachs of those preparing for the fast. I have long ago adopted the lighter milk based meal in my home, though many people

In the nature of things we tend to wait for a milestone in time to try an implement some new things. Over the past year, (when I did not take some time off from blogging), we have added some great new recipes, a great deal of humor, and tried to create an easy, yet interesting layout for recipe presentation. Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen is devoted not only to those great recipes, but to the person who so does not want to cook . Our niche in the world of Food Blogs, and there are zillions of them, and some quite incredible with really great recipes, is to provide recipes and humor - stories of life - real life - and real homes and real kitchens.

To All Readers of Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen Rosh HaShanah the Jewish New Year is upon us. It begins a time of introspection and prayers for the coming year. We search through the foibles and mistakes of the past in order to understand how to make the future better. For the two days of Rosh HaShanah we eat honey upon our bread. It is but a simple tradition, reminding us of the sweetness of all life has to offer and the sweetness to come. May this coming year bring an end to wanton destruction and death. May it be the beginning of a new dawn - where we learn to understand, respect and accept one another. May it be the end of sorrow and tears. Wherever you are on this planet, whatever your beliefs, and however you practice them - may this coming year bring a measure of peace to our homes. May it bring with it - to you, your families and all your friends - A year of peace, A year of blessings, A year of health, A year of prosperity, A year of laughter, A year full of all the wonder

I was fairly astounded by the number or reactions that have come in from my post " Truly Useless Kitchen Gadgets For The Chef Who Has Everything ". It is obvious that what is one's useless gadget is another person's find of the century. Such is the basic of consumerism and answering the needs of the market or creating the needs for the market. The Jewish New Year is coming up in a couple of days and we enter a period of introspection and serious thought - about the past, present and future. However, for today Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen will present you with a bit of end of year humor - not exactly recipes - but all food related. Every now and then we must for a moment learn to take ourselves with a bit of humor to truly understand our lives. Indeed, if we could always remember to smile it would be a much better and much more peaceful world. So today I am going to give you all my wish list - of what I want in my kitchen and what I am going for in this coming ye

This arrived just in time for then Jewish New Year. As I mentioned before, ( Apple, Honey and Cinnamon Chicken ) on Rosh HaShanah we traditionally eat food with honey, to symbolize our hope for a new sweet year. Here Paula writes about the recipe: Not even an egg to break, sheesh. Yes, I know it calls for baking.. but honestly, baking does not get any easier than this….

Honey Bran Oat Cake Ingredients: 2 Cups Wheat Flour 2 Cups Oat Bran 3 Tablespoons Baking Powder 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda 1/4 Cup Canola Oil 1 Cup Honey 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon 1 Cup Raisins 2 Cups Applesauce 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Utensils You Need: 2 Medium Sized Bowls Whisk 2 Loaf Pans Variations: Add 1/2 Cup of chopped walnuts or almonds Directions: Combine flours, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon in one bowl.

This book review was solicited by the publishers of the Shrek Cookbook and contains my opinion of the book. For kosher readers of Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen - This is not a "kosher" cookbook though the majority of recipes in the Shrek Cookbook can be used as is, or with just a few sane and healthy substitutions, can be kept kosher. (Indeed as far as I could tell every recipe in this book can be kept kosher.) It is not that difficult to find equivalent and healthy kosher substitutes these days, especially in the United States.
