Nu, You Think You Can Cook?

Alicia Zuckerman/WLRN

Got a bent for babka? A talent for tzimmes? A gift for gefilte fish? A capacity for kugel? 

With the Jewish New Year starting next week, the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU in South Beach is collecting original recipes from cooks and bakers throughout South Florida. And not just collecting them -- judging them, in its "From My Family's Kitchen" recipe contest this Sunday, Sept. 21. 

You're going to have to do more than write it down. But if you're prepping for Rosh Hoshannah, you're probably set to spend some extra time in the kitchen this weekend anyway. Entrants need to make 10 servings and deliver them to the museum between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Sunday. Starting at 2 p.m., a panel of discerning palates will put your creation to the test while you wait and watch. There are three chances to win -- three chances to bring your friends and family much naches.

Prizes include a donor-level membership to the museum and a Jewish food walking tour.

Good luck and gut yontif
