Purim Recipes

Not everyone loves hamantashen -- but I have yet to meet a person who doesn't like a good cupcake! I have to wonder if someone over at Wilton had these triangle silicon baking cups in mind for Purim!  Make your favorite cupcake recipe, frost and decorate away!

Imagine Queen Esther holding court in her flowing royal purple robes, a golden crown sitting atop her head. Now you know the inspiration behind our own Queen Esther cocktail!

Achashverosh was a notorious insomniac. When cuddling with his favorite teddy bear under his fluffy blanket failed, he was known to summon his diary and his favorite drink! Ok, maybe I embellished the story as told in the Megillah a bit, but this after dinner drink is certainly fit for a king!

Serves 4-6.

As evidenced by Megillat Esther, the Jewish people have a long history with India. Here's an easy and delicious Indian dish you can make to serve at your Purim (or any!) meal. Serve it alone, over rice, or atop a salad.

Serves 4-6.

We are very lucky to have so many Persian friends. This dish is a staple in so many homes. With all the parties Achashverosh threw, I bet this rice was served to Queen Esther when she was queen of the Persian Empire!

Makes approximately 18 kreplach.

Dumplings, pierogies, kreplach -- I find it so interesting that cultures world-wide have a version of this dish. (In my childhood home, they were steamed and then served in soup. If there were any leftovers, we fried/gobbled them up!) For some Jews, it is customary to eat kreplach on Purim and on Erev Yom Kippur.
