I'm all for starting the Jewish new year off right, and for me that means a gourmet Rosh Hashanah food taster from our favorite online indie food marketplace, MOUTH. Why stick with plain old apples and honey, when the goodies in the "High Holy Day-licious" pack (ha) go a step further? They make a perfect hostess gift to bring to a Rosh Hashanah dinner or appetizer spread to kick off your own holiday celebration. The deliciousness will set the intention for a great year ahead, or at least a delicious one. But you have to order now!

Apples and honey play an important role in Rosh Hashanah cooking, as they are thought to symbolize a sweet new year. MOUTH cleverly plays off of these flavors, putting together an irresistible taster that includes Sesame Peanut Brittle Squares by Newfangled Confections, Jan's Farmhouse Crisps, Raw Almond Halva Spreadby Brooklyn Sesame, Honey Bee Candies which look absolutely gorgeous, and Tennessee Wildflower Summer Honey from Tru Bee Honey. I'm lucky enough to have tried everything in this taster and can tell you that it's worth picking one up even if you don't celebrate Rosh Hashanah. The Frittle and Halva Spread are particularly to die for.        

 

  Everything in this taster, as with everything at MOUTH, comes packed beautifully in a reusable cotton tote, along with a few other New Year's surprises. Just keep in mind that the site may occasionally need to swap out an out-of-stock item in the taster for another similar, equally delicious one. And I wouldn't worry about that because everything there is delicious. Oh the perils of supporting small-batch indie food makers. Order the  gourmet Rosh Hashanah food taster from MOUTH by tomorrow, Saturday 9/20,  to insure shipping in time! Plus they are offering Cool Mom Picks readers 15% off of any purchase with the code COOLMOMPICK15.
