Hi Friend,

Am I the only one who feels like this summer really went by fast? While the hot weather may be sticking around a bit longer, it's time to look toward fall -- which, in our family, means welcoming the holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Below you'll find recipes to help transition you into the new season (no matter which holidays you celebrate!). And if you're planning your Rosh Hashanah menu now, you can find more inspiring recipes here.

If you're not quite through with your summer garden treats, our most recent menu in Tori's Mediterranean Table is focused on recipes that celebrate the bounty of the summer season. We'll also be taking a new cooking journey that is launching soon -- exploring one of the most fascinating culinary destinations in the world. Join us!
