Chef's Tips

Having recently returned from a trip in Israel I was fascinated to see the early stages of growing pomegranates Of course, by Rosh Hashonah they will be fully grown, and at their very best.

Bulghur wheat can be purchased fine, medium and coarse. For a true kasha experience, it should be made with the coarse variety. It can be served hot, cold or warm so perfect for a Shabbat or Yom Tov.
In addition we all wish for the forthcoming year to be a healthy one and pomegranates are rich in anti-oxidants. Regular consumption of its juice has been associated with good benefits against cancer, and maintaining a healthy heart.
