[Sca-cooks] Re: dynamite Jewish dessert

[elisabetta at klotz.org]

Period Jewish desserts:

Cheesecake and honey cake (lekah). For eastern European, poppy seed
cakes/pastries (Mohn torte) and apple cakes/pastries. For Sephardic, orange
cake, figs or date cakes/pastries and rice pudding.

Another great dessert is teiglach (soup nuts with
honey)(http://www.beliefnet.com/story/42/story_4227_1.html#teiglach). This is
usually made for Passover (with matzah meal) or Rosh Hashana. Not sure of it's
history, but I've been looking.

Hope this helps.
