I love the preparation of the food and all of the baking. One of my favorite deserts to make is chocolate chip mandlebread. Everybody expects it at our Passover seder.

I don't eat meat or poultry so I love the dairy. And it is a once a year chance to sin and have cheesecake (the sin is the calories!!!!!). And it is the only time our SHul has a vegetarian-=friendly meal. So please make dairy happen more often than Chanukkah goat's cheese and Shavuot. My favourite Jewish holiday is Shavuot.

I love ALL the Jewish holidays if there's an opportunity to eat! Since it's erev Shavuot, I'll choose this one as my favorite. I'm making cheese blintzes (tradition) and I've decided to try another cheesecake recipe --- a white chocolate lime curd ribbon cake with oreo chocolate crust. YUMMY! And I'll do a fruit salad with the blintzes, Strawberry buttermilk orange soup, sour cream and steamed fresh asparagus for our holiday feast. Tomorrow night's dessert will be a frozen pina colada --- slice of fresh grilled pineapple topped with coconut sorbet and over that, caramel ice cream sauce (homemade!) with dark rum. And then sprinkled with coconut shreds. Nothing makes me happier than to be able to feed my family and friends with delicious and nutritious meals. HOlidays give me the opportunity to really go all out. But everyday meals are also a treat. Thanks . I am a true Jewish foodie! I love ALL the Jewish holidays if there’s an opportunity to eat!

Any holiday that makes it a blessing to eat jelly doughnuts is a winner in my book (and Homer Simpson's, I'm sure)! OK, I’ll be the first vote for Hanukkah.

I don't celebrate all the holidays, but I spent the most food energy on Passover. I somewhat irreverently admit that I'm thinking about celebrating Shavous for the opportunity to eat blintzes and other delicious dairy products. And then there's Purim with my grandmother's hamantaschen... Too hard to decide. Nice post!

My favorite foodie holiday? Rosh Hashanah! I love finding new ways to use honey, carrots and all the other fantastically symbolic foods - Fish (for the [fish] "head of the year"), new fruits (pomegranate, anyone?), rice to symbolize abundance, etc. I particularly love baking honey cakes. This year I made little gluten-free honey cakes in individual miniature bundt cake pans. And then there's my beef and butternut squash tzimmes which I always swear I'll make at other times during the year but then don't (just as I never make matzo balls outside of Pesach despite loving them).
