Lekach/Honey Cake

Lekach is a Jewish honey cake traditionally eaten during the festival of Rosh Hashanah. It is the Jewish New Year and it is begun with eating something sweet. When I started reading about the festival and the origins of the Honey Cake I was surprised to know that honey as an ingredient in dessert has been used for centuries. The Egyptians used to eat bread with honey. The Romans and Greeks used to eat fried treats generously drizzled with honey. The Lekach/Honey Cake is of German origin. It evolved from the gingerbread. Even now there are many variations of Honey cake. Some recipes use walnut or almond meal. Cinnamon and ginger are the main spices but many other such as nutmeg, all spice, mace, clove etc are also added.

Honey Glazed Grilled Pineapple

Recipe by Sasmita
Pineapples are a delicious tropical fruit that have been celebrated for centuries not only for their distinct and unique taste, but also for their seemingly miraculous health benefits. Pineapples are eaten fresh, juiced etc., actually there are so many ways to use pineapples. Pineapple is a good source of vitamin C and yes, so many medicinal benefits are there which include improve digestion, help in weight loss, strengthen bones, improve oral health, reduce inflammation, prevent cancer, improve heart health, improve the immune system etc. Here I have come up with grilled pineapple which are glazed with honey as well as cinammon and lime juice. After grilling, the pineapple becomes soft, tender and melts in mouth ! Also grilled pineapple doesn’t alter the tastebuds like raw pineapple does. Basically the bromelain enzyme in raw pineapple kill the top layer of taste buds on tongue and hence making it hard to taste for a few hours afterwards. So if this type of issue is there with you, then I can assure that this grilled pineapple with honey glazed is the best way to enjoy without any fear of taste buds get killed. Here the pineapple is not cooked fully, just grilled a bit to break down the enzyme. This grilled pineapple with honey glaze is a perfect light dessert. So lets go in details.
