Many people ask me "how did you do that?" "will you show me how?' So I decided to make a blog about what I cook and bake. I am in no way a professional cook, but I love to feed people and try new things as well as making the "old foods" My friends are wonderful cooks, each with their own 'specialty' and i will be having guest cooks here, showcasing their favourite things to cook as well!! I hope you enjoy this blog and maybe decide to make some of these foods yourself! I am always available to answer any questions you might have about anything you see here. Some of my recipes are unique to me but most are not. They are all recipes I have found in a variety of ways, some are old family recipes that date back decades and some are new ones!

Apricot Tzimmes Brisket

My friend gave me this recipe for Apricot Tzimmes Brisket many years ago! It is the perfect brisket to serve on Rosh Hashanah! The meat is tender because it cooks at a low temperature for a long time & the flavour is sweet. The apricots become jammy which is delicious! Everyone who does brisket should give this recipe a try! It is just so good!

What does Tzimmes mean? I looked it up for you !

1. A Jewish stew of sweetened vegetables or vegetables and fruit , sometimes with meat & 2. a fuss
