So many tastes to please these days – dietary restrictions and health concerns.  What’s a kugel to do?  That’s kugel, not kegel.

We have a big traditional brisket-filled New Year lunch tomorrow with 33 friends and family.  Tonight, I’m serving the following – keeping with some tradition but adding in some healthier options (salted caramel is healthy, right?)

Honeyed wild salmon, quinoa and millet surrounded by piles of caramelized onions, rainbow chard, and whole slow-roasted carrots. Kugel (noodle pudding).  Blistered figs in port wine reduction. Honey-Apple cake for dessert and mini buttermilk crust pies filled with chocolate ganache and salted caramel.
