We celebrate the Jewish holidays with two traditional dishes that are often tricky to prepare; I'll take you through the process, step by step. Although this show aired in time for the spring holidays, these favorites are a celebration whenever you serve them. We start with Wine Braised Brisket and on the side, my husband’s Aunt Rifka’s recipe for matzo balls they call ‘flying discs’. Then I harvest fresh winter vegetables to make my Root Vegetable Latkes.

Philadelphia chef, Marc Vetri, brings a bold, new sensibility to classic Italian cooking. This dish is based on his father's recipe.

Throughout the Mediterranean, vegetables stuffed with various fillings, including meat, often fill the role of entrée. This features lamb.
