Sample Menus
This website was born out of menu planning—the starting point for every Shabbat and holiday meal. Every one of my Shabbat and holiday menus starts with these words: “Wine & Challah.” Here you will find some menu inspiration that I hope helps you create the perfect menu for Shabbat and Holidays, including Rosh Hashanah and Erev Yom Kippur Menu. All the recipes on this site include “make ahead” directions to help you not only plan your menu but also cook ahead of time. I have written a bit about menu planning here and here.
