Take a “standard” Shabbos meal, for example. Even if the menu looks like a cookie cutter version of someone else’s, there are little things that mark it uniquely to its maker. The differences might be subtle, but what you do in your home and at your table makes it your signature meal.
We all have our own ways of making the basics — cholent, chopped liver, our kneitch on an apple crisp that we believe makes it stand apart. And maybe it’s a Jewish mother thing, but we all seem to want to share the wealth. We love sharing our opinions and knowledge and tips and recipes.
This week, we’re doing something different with our recipes. Miriam (Pascal) Cohen is sharing not just new recipes for a Shabbos-day meal, but also her whole approach to hosting guests in general — a real insider look at what Shabbos at Miriam’s is all about. Yes, it’s her signature style, but we’re pretty sure you’ll want to borrow an idea or two, and soon it will be part of the makeup of your signature too. After all, style evolves.
And if you like getting a taste of Miriam’s Shabbos, let us know who else’s table you’d like a seat at!
