Shavuot: Festival of Milk and Honey (2011 menu)


Gnocchi Pomodoro (recipe linked below)

ShavuotShavuot is an annual Jewish festival of dual significance. Agriculturally, it commemorates the time when the first fruits were harvested and brought to the Temple, historically, it also celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. To mark Shavuot I always prepare a dairy-based menu that incorporates honey in some form or fashion.

This year Shavuot is being observed from sunset May 7 – nightfall May 9, I don’t think I’ll be holding an actual seder but I will be cooking up a storm. Here is this year’s menu :)

Shavuot Menu 2011:

Olive Paste Bruschetta (from Gluten Free Italian)
Italian White Bean Soup (from EdenFoods.com)
Gnocchi Pomodoro
Caramel Sweet Potato & Honey pie
Sweet Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

    This may sound like a stupid question, Sarina, but do you have any Jewish blood in you? I must say you caught me quite off-guard
