TRADITIONAL MOROCCAN H’RIRA
Ariel Benoliel
The reason I chose this dish is because it is a simple, delicious, and a historic one.
from Spain, and some of them followed the Moors who were going back to Morocco.There,
we picked up on the habit of having h’rira after a fast, as we saw the Moors having it after
Ramadan. As we could not do any work or cooking on Yom Kippur, our Moor friends often
brought us some nice warm h’rira in time to break the fast. I think this timeless dish will
become a favourite for you and your family for many years to come.
INGREDIENTS
500g beef shin/ 6 tomatoes/ 4 stalks of celery/ 1 cup of lentils/ lemon juice/ olive oil/
handful of fresh coriander (to garnish)
METHOD
- Finely dice the tomatoes and the celery
the olive oil, and a pinch of salt, and sweat until the celery softens
- In another soup pot, place the beef shin
- Fill the pot to ¾ full of cold water, and bring water to boil.
Then reduce to simmer for one hour
- Add the lentils into the pot. Allow to cook for half an hour or
until lentils have softened
- Take out the beef shin and break into pieces to add later as a garnish

SEPHARDIC CHALLAH
Ilana Benoliel
My father would eat this challah on Friday nights with his grandmother and mother. My
father has fond memories of coming home on Friday evenings and smelling the freshly baked
challah. My mother was given the recipe and has been making it for our family on Friday

When I baked challah with my mum it made me feel happy. It gave me some bonding time
with my mum that I wouldn't usually get because I would usually be doing homework. My
mum is an amazing cook and one day I hope to be one just like her. Every day, I have a home-
made meal and I am so thankful. Cooking feels like an escape from reality. I forget all about
my life's problems until it comes time for me to clean up! I love my mum and am so grateful
that she stays at home and makes sure that every day I have dinner to come home to.
STRUDEL BISCUITS
Jason Berger
I chose to make strudel biscuits because they have been a memory in our family at least 3
generations back. My mom’s dad’s mom would make these strudel biscuits.They were not
rich people, but when Safta Doneta (my mom’s dad's mom’s name) made these on special
occasions, her family felt like the richest people in the world. Safta Doneta didn’t have any
measuring cups or spoons so instead she would use whatever she had in the kitchen, like a
biscuits because they connect me to my family AND they taste amazing.
INGREDIENTS

- Knead the dough well (you may have to use your hands) and make sure
balls and place on a plate, cover with glad wrap and leave to rest for four hours
- Once four hours is up, take the balls out and roll each one separately out into a

and roll it up till it looks like a swirl
- Bake at 170c until golden brown

from my safta and she would always make them for my nana and then my nana would make
them for my mom and her sister. While making the Strudels it felt nice to be connecting to my
family and commemorating the memories of my grandmother and her mother. What's more
is that I can now pass this down to my children and they can pass it down to theirs so that we
never forget how delicious these Strudels are.
PHENOMENAL CHEESECAKE
Hayley Blumenthal
The recipe I have chosen is a family cheesecake. It was given to me by my great grandmother
Freda.The reason I chose it is because in my family, cheesecake is a very popular dessert. We
have it on Shavuot, birthdays, family get togethers and other celebrations. My family cheese-
cake has been in the family for many generations, so I wanted to carry it on so many genera-
tions after me can share it. Cheesecake is a delicious dessert that brings people together and
makes them feel happy.

is not just about making food, it is about having fun doing a shared activity. We had a blast!
TUNA LASAGNA
Tanna Blumenthal
The recipe that I have chosen to do is a cheesy tuna lasagna that was given to my parents by
my grandmother who then gave it to me. It is exceptionally special to me and my family
because it is one of our favourite family dishes. It is a traditional family dish that we normally
have at festivals or family gatherings or lunches. My family have been making it since before
I can remember and before I was even born.The reason I have chosen to do this dish is
because it is a traditional dish that has been passed down from generation to generation and
will be passed down for generations to come.This recipe is important to my family because
we normally have it on shavuot and breaking of the fast.To me tuna lasagna is a wonderful
meal that brings my family closer together.
INGREDIENTS
4 cups of tuna/ 1 to 2 cans of asparagus or mushrooms/ half to ¾ packets of pasta (you
can use any type of pasta or lasagna sheets)/ 1 and ½ cup of grated cheese (any

When I cooked the tuna lasagna with my mom it made me feel happy, I got to spend quality
time with her. It gave us some bonding time with each other since I never really get to spend
time with her. My mom is great at cooking dinner but is exceptional at baking. Hopefully I will
be just as good as she is.Almost every day my mom cooks my family dinner (the rest of the
time my dad does) and I am so grateful for the food she cooks for me. I love cooking and
baking but when I do it with my mom it is even better. Most of the time. When I bake with
my mom it feels like an escape from our rushed and busy realities. I am so grateful that I can
come home to freshly cooked meals.
DELICIOUS POTATO & VEGETABLE
Adam BobroffLENTIL SOUP
The recipe I have chosen is lentil soup and it was introduced to me by my grandmother.
The reason I have chosen this recipe is because not only is it delicious and wholesome but it comes with a
story. When my mother was little she became a vegetarian and my granny found this recipe in an Australian
Women's Weekly Italian cookbook. My granny started making this soup for my mother but it grew into a
family sensation. Now this soup has become a family request on many evenings, summer through to winter.
This recipe is important to my family because not only is it a delicious comfort meal but it is made from the
heart. I have started helping my mom prepare the soup because later in life it will be my turn to share this
precious meal with my family and friends. By making this recipe I hope to educate people around me about
the importance of reducing meat intake. In David Attenborough's latest documentary, he mentions that
reducing our meat intake can save the planet. By doing this we can give our planet and upcoming genera-
tions a better future.
INGREDIENTS
1 carrot/ 1 onion/ 1 stick celery/ 15g of butter/ 1 tablespoon of oil/ 250g of dried lentils/
400g of can tomatoes/ 1 Litre of water/ 5 teaspoons(Osem pareve chicken stock)/

our family favourite dishes . As we cooked my mom told me the story of how my grandma got
the recipe. My grandma, who lives in South Africa, was very excited to hear that we made her
recipe. Since the day we cooked I have helped my mom make this soup every week and have
enjoyed it so much. I never thought making some food could be so meaningful.
FRIED RICE
Asher Cohen
The reason why I chose my grandma's fried rice is because it has been passed down by many
generations. My great great grandmother made the fried rice and showed the recipe to my
great grandma. Whenever I visit my grandma, I look forward to her special fried rice.The
recipe has changed and improved over the years with each new person adding their personal
touch. I am hoping to pass down the recipe to the next generation adding my own personal
touch.
INGREDIENTS
Chicken Breasts/ Sliced carrots/ Peas/ Cut up Corn/Broccoli/ Rice
Pinch of salt/ Onions/ Soy/ Honey
METHOD
- Put rice into a rice steamer.
- Slice chicken breasts thinly and put in a frying pan with onions

doing the project and cooking quite fun and I hope that the school will make more projects
just like this one. I learned how to cook dinner much better thanks to this project.
CABBAGE SOUP
Zara Duder-Forrai
I have chosen to share our family’s Cabbage soup recipe because it is delicious and it has an amazing
backstory. My great grandmother survived the Holocaust. After the camps were liberated my great
grandparents, Nana and Zaida met in a displaced persons camp.They had no money and my Nana
had to make food for my Zaida and my grandmother (who was a baby).There was not much meat to
buy so she used oxtail to make sure there was protein as well as vitamins and vegetables for her
family to stay healthy. Even when they got to Australia, they did not have a lot of money and this is
something Nana cooked all the time. Now my grandmother cooks it and my mum says it is so easy
that even she can cook it. It is now something that has been passed down for generations and my
sister, my brother and I can cook it when we have our own kids.
INGREDIENTS
2 brown onions/ 2 cloves of garlic/ half a cabbage/ 6 pieces of oxtail/ 3 carrots/
green beans/ a tin of tomato soup/ chicken stock/ oil/ salt and pepper
METHOD
- Heat oil in a pot
- Braise the oxtail then put it to the side
- Chop all the vegetables
- Brown the onion until it's soft
- Put all vegetables into the pot
- Add tin of tomato soup
- Add chicken stock to cover the vegetables
- Cook slowly until vegetables are cooked (Don’t turn to mush)
- Add oxtail to pot
- Add more shredded cabbage as the soup cools down

What I learnt about making the cake is that it takes a lot of practice. If you want it to look
perfect or taste good, you’re going to have to make it a couple of times. When I cooked with
my grandma, I learnt that she likes to be the boss, and so do I!The bad thing about that is
that there is only room for 1 chef in the kitchen. So next time, I will be making the cake for my

BOUREKAS
Doron Evian
The reason I chose barekas is because it means a lot to me. My family has made this dish for
as long as 100 years. Every time I eat it I always think of my family that has perished and
that is alive. I always eat this dish at my granny's. She always makes barekas for starters.
The reason she makes this is because when she used to go to her granny and mum they
would always serve it. It makes me really appreciate being Jewish as this lovely meal has
been past down several generations and I hope to continue the tradition.

The cheesecake recipe was originally my grandmother's cousin's recipe. When my grand-

When I made the cheesecake I really felt like I became closer to my family. Even though I
couldn’t make it with my grandma as she lives far away, the recipe was from her. I felt like I
connected even more with my family because I had the opportunity to speak to them about
what I was doing. I felt like I was learning a family secret. I felt as if I was one of only a few
people who had made this recipe. My Mum and I spent so much time making this cheesecake
that I felt closer to her. We have always been close, but we hadn’t spent that much time
straight without technology since I was much younger. Making this cheesecake has made me
feel so much closer to my family. We were never far apart (emotionally.) Now we just feel
closer.
SAVTA DAHLIA’S FAMOUS
Lia Gazi JACHNUN
The recipe I have chosen is Jachnun. My Savta, who is from Iraq, cooks this meal for Saturday brunch. She
learnt from my Saba’s mother, who is from Yemen. Jachnun is a traditional Yemen dish and has been in my
family for generations. Savta cooks this meal for my grandfather as it is his favourite breakfast meal. By
making this meal, it reminds me of Savta, and how one day we will eat Jachnun together. Making the Jach-
nun is a process; a process that brings the entire family together. My dad, mum and I, with the help of my
siblings, prepare the dish over 2 days. Once it is ready, we all eat together around our table, and enjoy the
fruit of our labour. I enjoy the process and the eating (but mainly the eating) Jachnun reminds me of my
heritage and my Savta. I hope to make this meal when I grow up, to go through the process with my children
and to share a big lovely meal at the end of it.

GRANNY’S FRUIT BISCUITS
Chloe Ginsberg
The recipe that I have chosen is Granny’s Fruit biscuits and was given to me by my mother.
The reason I have chosen this recipe is because it was passed down through generations from
my great grandmother to my grandmother, then to my mother who passed it on to me.This
recipe is important to my family because it is a recipe my great grandmother made and per-
fected. My great grandmother Sarah was an excellent baker. When my grandmother was
growing up in South Africa my granny and her four siblings used to invite their friends over to
enjoy all of Sarah’s great baked treats including granny’s fruit biscuits. By making this recipe I
hope to become an excellent baker just like my great grandmother who I am named after.

JUDY’S 2,4,6,8 BUTTER CAKES
Isabelle Henkin
The recipe I have chosen is called 2, 4, 6, 8 Butter Cakes. It was given to me by my mum, who got it
from her grandmother. The reason I have chosen this recipe is because my family have been making
it for a very long time now. For us, it is like a link to the past, and family members who are no longer
with us. My great grandmother baked it for my grandad, then my mum, and now my mum bakes it
for me. By making this recipe, I hope to learn more about my great grandmother. She passed away
when I was really young, and even though I did get to meet her, I don’t really remember her at all.
I want to hear the story behind her recipe, and learn about when she used to make them, and who
she may have made them with.
INGREDIENTS

ma’s during the school holidays and most times they would be able to eat one of these cup-

had company. I now feel connected to my great grandmother in a way that I never was
before because I didn’t get the chance to know her for very long.
PAVLOVA
Annabel Lane
The reason that I chose pavlova is because it's a delicious and amazing cake. It is also one of
the family favorites. My nana made pavlova for my mum and now my mum makes it for me
and my siblings for birthdays.It makes me think of celebrations and our family coming
together.

Cooking in the kitchen alone with my mum was very relaxing especially when we were put-
ting on the cream and adding the berries. I also learned how my mum cooks which is halving
the sugar recipe in the pavlova which is still nice but when I cook I add it all back in.
JACHNUN
Libby Levi
The recipe I have chosen is Jachnun. I have chosen to do this recipe because on my father’s
side of the family it is a tradition that every Saturday (Shabbat), the family would meet at his
house and eat Jachnun at brunch. My father told me it was a tradition that Yemen Jews have
on a Saturday with their family. My grandfather is from Yemen so my father grew up with his
tradition. When my mother and father got married,my father’s aunt taught my mother how
to make this. It’s our favourite time during Shabbat. It’s important for my family to keep
traditions and eat the foods that are part of our heritage.
INGREDIENTS
600ml warm water/ 200g soft butter
METHOD
- Mix all ingredients well (except butter) until smooth dough forms
- Let the dough rest for an hour, covered
- With oiled hands, form 12 balls of doug
- Split butter into 12 equal portions
- On an oiled surface, use your hands to spread out 1 ball of dough.
Take 1 portion of butter and spread over the dough
- Fold the dough in (like a envelope). Start rolling until it’s like a long rectangle
- Then roll it up into a sausage. Repeat with remaining pieces
- Rest in a cool place for 1 hour
- Line a deep pot with day old bread. Cover with baking paper that has been
pierced with a knife in a few spots
- Line the Jachnun next to one another. Place a few eggs from the fridge on top
- Cover the pot and bake overnight (at least 8 hours) at 90 degrees
- Serve with fresh grated tomatoes and green chilli szchug

What I got out of making Jachnun was that I now know how to make our family dish. When I
decide to have children I hope to make it for them every Saturday, as we now do, and I can
teach them how to make it so they can pass down the tradition. I had the amazing experi-
ence cooking with my mum, I got a lot out of it. My mum and I chatted and I was so happy
that I had time for a mother and daughter cooking time.
HELEN GREEN’S CINNAMON AND SUGAR
BULKAS
Asher Levy
The reason I have chosen this recipe is because it has been passed down for four
making these bulkes. My great grandmother used to visit my mom and make a huge batch of bulkes
to give to the whole family. She would make them in a big metal tub and would wrap this tub with
blankets and put a big continental pillow on top. She would leave this on the table outside for the
yeast to rise. As she was very short, my great grandmother couldn’t knead the dough so instead she
had to punch it, turn it over and punch it more.This was quite ironic because she was the most
gentle person who would never hurt anyone. I like that this recipe has been passed down through
many generations and has an interesting story.
INGREDIENTS
115 grams of butter/ 4 tablespoons of sugar/ 1 teaspoon of salt/ 1 egg/
3 packets of instant yeast/ cinnamon
METHOD
- Blend the butter and sugar until they are creamy
- Add the egg and mix well
- Add the milk and lukewarm water and stir
- Put the dough in a very large bowl
- Cover the bowl with blankets then put in a sunny area for two hours
The dough should double in size
- Take the dough out of the bowl and knead or punch it
- Divide the dough into three equal balls and
roll them into three equal rectangles that are 30cm by 6cm
- Take cinnamon and sugar and spread it on the dough
- Roll the length of the rectangles so they look like long swiss rolls

really liked baking a family recipe and I hope I can bake more of them in the future.
LETCHO
Shyli Lewin
I chose letcho because it has been passed down from my great grandmother in Hungary all
the way to my family in Sydney, Australia. I chose this dish because it is very economical as it
is made with sausages, which is not as expensive as meat. It could be eaten with potatoes or
after the holocaust they continued to make this dish and taught it to their children, who also
continued to cook it. My grandmother made this dish often and the whole family enjoyed it.
My mother makes it and we all love it, especially the sausages. I am learning to cook this dish
from my mother and can’t wait to pass it on one day to my own children.
INGREDIENTS
onion/ capsiclum (red and green)/ chopped tomatoes/ chopped mushrooms/ sausages

Cooking with my Safta is so much fun. Bonding with her was a great experience. My Safta is

Safta kept saying “stop, you’re chopping too big”. She taught me how to chop each vegetable
correctly and it was really fun learning how to cook with her. Cooking is the best but cooking
with my Safta is even better.

with my family and talking to them about how good Wendy’s cheesecake really is.They spoke

boss me around, but now I think I would be able to do it myself.This project allowed me to
spend time with my family and cook a delicious cheesecake with the daughters of my great
grandmother who passed this recipe down and I will treasure this memory forever.
HONEY CAKE
Chloe McHugh
The recipe I have chosen that is special to my family and has been passed down from generation to genera-
tion is honey cake. Every Rosh Hashanah, my grandma would make honey cake for all of my family to enjoy.
She would also make it for my grandfather to enjoy eating after the fast on Yom Kippur. She sadly passed
away at the start of this year and now the honour has been passed down to her two kids, my mum and my
aunty. Soon, they will pass it down to my sister, cousins and I. We will make it for our kids and pass my
grandma's recipe on down to future generations.The reason that I have chosen this recipe is because my
grandma was known for her honey cake amongst her family and friends. It also represents a special link to
Judaism.The honey in the cake is traditionally eaten on Jewish New Year to remind us to have a sweet and
happy year ahead. By making this recipe, I hope to pass on this tradition and message to my friends and
their families. Hopefully in the future, my kids will pass it on to their children along with the importance of its
link to Judaism.

but cook with my family so I can spend quality time with them and was a special moment for
us. During the time, we had discussions about things going on in our lives and helped each
other with teamwork to make a delicious cake. I learnt a lot from cooking this cake so I will be
able to do it in the future. I would love to do this again with my family because it is a memo-

The recipe I have chosen is called Morrocan Sesame Crowns.This recipe was given to me by
my great grandmother who made them for my grandmother, my mother and her brothers
when she was a child.The reason I have chosen this recipe is because, as a child, as soon as
my mum would step into a Morrocan house, they would be given these biscuits, accompanied
by mint tea. She used to spend afternoons with her grandmother and her mother making
these. My mother has taught it to me and my brothers, and it is my job to pass it down to my
future children and their children.

When I cooked with my mum, I didn’t really enjoy not being the boss of the kitchen, but I
learned that cooking is never really as easy as it looks and having an expert to help is useful.
I learnt that you aren’t supposed to touch the dough hundreds of times, otherwise it will not
turn out as good as you think it will. I learned that cooking isn’t all about the outcome of the
recipe, but more about the cooking experience and spending time with whoever you cook
with. Baking this recipe made me feel much more connected with my mum's past and my
family's traditions. It was special cooking with mum because I got to spend alone time with
her.

GINGER CAKE
Daniel Ratzemore
I chose this recipe because it was usually a recipe my family made to give as a gift if someone was
sick. It was passed down from my grandmother to my mother. It is also sometimes served after a
instead of one. You can not halve this recipe because it requires 3 eggs. It can last a week because of
the oil ,so it is a good cake that can last a long time and still taste fresh. It can be toasted to serve
warm just like it just came out of the oven. Surprisingly, people who don’t like ginger still enjoy this
by spreading butter on a slice. It’s very easy and quick to make only using one mixing bowl and a
whisk, basic ingredients and doesn’t require any food processors. Making it isn’t complicated, so
almost anyone can bake it, which is why it's such a great recipe to pass down to future generations.
INGREDIENTS

1 egg + 2 yolks/ ¾ cup water/ 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Filling: 300g dark chocolate/ 150g butter/ 1 egg white (use egg white from the dough)
