As the weather grows brisk, a sampling of micro-distillery whiskey.

Whiskey — wherever it is made, and in whatever style — is a great beverage for the winter. Just a few sips can warm the gullet, and take a bit of the chill off the coldest of winter nights.

All whiskeys were once almost universally considered kosher. But in the last few decades the kashrut of whiskey has come up for debate.

Viognier holds up well to autumn weather.

After a warmer-than-usual September and early October, autumn is taking its time arriving. But when the leaves start in earnest to change color and the weather turns bracing, the time of year is right for a glass of Viognier.

Desserts That Age Well

Special To The Jewish Week

Cakes and cookies that keep (and improve, yet) for the holiday week.

Next weekend is the dreaded three-day yom tov, when the two days of Rosh HaShanah meld right into Shabbat, and you spend three days alternatively sleeping, eating and bonding with family members.

With so much to prepare and cook and plan, it is nice to have some things you can make in advance. While most pastries deteriorate with age, and are best either the first or second day they are made, there are recipes that are still great the second, third or even fourth day they’re made, and some that even improve with age.

Spread A Little Sweetness Around

Special To The Jewish Week

Don’t reserve honey just for dessert. Use it to punch up chicken, vegetables and soup.

It’s sweet, it’s sticky and it is a constant on the dinner table for Rosh HaShanah. Honey is drizzled on apples, challah and fingers throughout the Jewish holiday, virtually guaranteeing a sweet-filled year. From swirling a tablespoon in tea to slathering it on a scone or biscuit, honey has many sweet applications. But don’t reserve the golden, syrupy liquid just for dessert: pair honey with anything from poultry to vegetables to grains results in a tasty and no-less-symbolic dish for the High Holy Days.

Beating the Leafy Green Blues: Confetti Corn Salad

For some people, salad is a dirty word. Images of limp, overdressed greens have put many people off the idea entirely. But when I make a salad, I like to banish the lettuce (or spinach, arugula, bok choy) entirely, and let the mix-ins shine, like in this confetti corn salad. By getting rid of the leafy greens, the salad also stores much better and can be enjoyed over several days. You can make it Thursday night or Friday and it will sit perfectly in the fridge until Shabbos.

The Nosh Pit: Chunky Mushroom Barley Soup

The first time I ever made this soup was in a tiny Manhattan apartment for an improvised Super Bowl party - the kind where you mute the game and avidly watch the commercials.

It was a frigid February, and I figured a hearty bowl of soup would be perfect for my small gathering.

But as I hunted around my closet-sized kitchen, I realized I had no saucepan even close to big enough for this recipe. I was disheartened, until I spied my crockpot in a closet. Suddenly, all was well again with the world.

The Nosh Pit: Zucchini Galette with Caramelized Onions

As the weather is beginning to cool I'm desperately trying to hold on to the last vestiges of summer. I know that before long I'll be stepping in slush puddles at the curb, wearing four pairs of socks and pulling my gloves on and off every time I get an e-mail.

So in an effort to delay that as long as possible, I'm still cooking with summer ingredients, like in this Zucchini Galette. Galette is a fancy (and French) word for a free-form tart, and you can make them savory or sweet - filled with apples, berries - even chocolate - or tomatoes, cheese and squash.
