With Rosh Hashanah behind us, it’s time to plan for Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is not about food. However, eating before the fasting begins is as much of a mitzvah as the fast itself. It should be a full holiday meal.

When it comes to breaking the fast, most families stick to dairy meals, which can be a bit easier on the stomach. This week, we’ll be featuring several recipes for your break-the-fast meal. Here’s what’s on our menu:

• Parsnip Bisque from Kosher By Design, page 65
• Orange Cornmeal Bread from Kosher By Design, Short on Time, page 222
• Berry Filled Mini Kugels  from Kosher By Design Entertains, page 241
• Salmon Salad with Carrot Ginger Vinaigrette from Kosher By Design Lightens Up, page 128
• Thai Quinoa from Kosher By Design, Short on Time, page 234
• A make-your-own ice cream sundae bar for dessert
