This weekend for Rosh Hashanah, I am returning to traditional family recipes that I’ve often served for the New Year meal. Because the Rosh Hashanah celebration includes lots of sweets to welcome in a sweet year, many recipes are full of honey and sugar. I like to use cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, ginger, fennel seeds and chervil – which are considered sweet spices – to add another layer of flavour.
