Cabbage was very popular in Ashkenzic communities during all the Jewish fall festivals.
Algerian Chicken with Quince

Apple and Honey Cake Bread Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce
I created this recipe from leftover honey cake.
Persian Mast o Khiar (Cucumber Yogurt Salad)

Baked Chicken with Barley
This classic Bulgarian Shabbat dish is delicious, comforting, and very easy to make.
