Whether you are hosting a meeting or a holiday party, brunch, Kiddush meal, Shabbat dinner, or hors d’oeurves ... Let Inna’s help make your gathering memorable. This menu is just a sample of some popular items. We happily customize dishes and take requests, both for new dishes and modifications to suit diets, tastes, or allergies. We cook from scratch using only quality real ingredients. All our meat is Glatt Kosher, grass-fed, and free of antibiotics and hormones. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions. 2 ABOUT OUR FOOD Allergies - We are very allergen aware and friendly. We keep the kitchen Gluten-Free so the majority of our items are GF and celiac friendly. Most items are also dairy-free. If you have any allergies or special dietary needs let us know and we will do our best to accomodate. Kosher - We are NOT supervised kosher but we are MORE than kosher style. We only use kosher products, including all certified Glatt kosher meat and poultry. We do make some dishes with dairy but do not mix meat and dairy in our cooking. If you have questions about our practices let us know. Dairy items on this menu are marked with a (d). There are also some sandwiches that are listed with both meat and dairy. Corned Beef - We cure our own without nitrates. That means it's gray, not like the red commercial kind. Ours is also quiet lean because we use grassfed meat and trim it well. Wholesome - We make nearly everything from scratch and only use wholesome ingredients. This means no MSG, high-fructose corn syrup, excess salt, sugar, or fat, and other shortcuts. We also avoid processed foods as best we can, especially artificial preservatives, food colorings or flavorings. ABOUT PLACING ORDERS: Delivery - We can deliver in most circumstances for orders over $100. Cost depends on time and distance. Notice - We do our best to accommodate same-day orders but we are a small operation and sometimes this isn't possible. Please try to order at least a day in advance. Platters - For platters that are priced per person (pp) we charge $5 for each platter used. This is so we can price more fairly instead of increasing the per person price. Minimum Order Size - Is 10 people unless otherwise noted. Deposit - We may request 50% deposit at time of order for new customers or large orders. Payment - We accept all credit cards. Checks can be made out to Inna’s Kitchen. If you would like to pay with a credit card remotely we can send you an online invoice. Prices - We regularly make changes and offer new dishes.

  • My Iranian Sukkah
    My Iranian Sukkah FARIDEH DAYANIM GOLDIN Every year after Yom Kippur, my husband Norman and I try to bring together the pieces of our sukkah, our temporary home for a week, a reminder of our frailty as Jews. Every year we wonder where we had last stored the metal frame, the bamboo roof, and the decorations. Every year we wonder about the weather. Will we have to dodge the raindrops and the wind once again this year for a quick bracha before eating inside? Will our sukkah stand up? Will there be a hurricane? I insisted on building a sukkah the fi rst time we had a yard. My husband protested that it would never last in Portsmouth, Virginia, remembering the sukkahs of his childhood and youth in that town, when his father, Milton, struggled to balance the wobbly structure in the more protected area outside the living room. Every year, my father-in-law had to bring it down in the middle of the holiday, fear- ing that strong winds from one hurricane or another would topple the sukkah against the building, bringing down bricks, glass, and the roof shingles. In Iran of my youth, we had no such worries. Every year, a month before the holiday, my father ordered four young trees from the town’s wood supplier. He made sure they were cut to the exact height and had the two largest branches trimmed in a V, like two hands ready to catch a ball.

  • Occurrences and Denotation of the Italian Lexical Type Pizza
    Rivista di Studi Indo-Mediterranei VIII (2018) Plurilingual e-journal of literary, religious, historical studies. website: http://kharabat.altervista.org/index.html Rivista collegata al Centro di Ricerca in “Filologia e Medievistica Indo-Mediterranea” (FIMIM) Università di Bologna cod. ANCE (Cineca-Miur) E213139 ISSN 2279-7025 Ephraim Nissan Occurrences and Denotation of the Italian Lexical Type pizza Further Data and Considerations about the Denotational Periphery, in Relation to the Historical Italian or North East Mediterranean and South East European Spread of Co-derivatives of the Type pitta/pizza Abstract: This study builds upon two earlier papers (Alinei and Nissan 2007; Nissan and Alinei 2013) which explored the etymology of the Italian lexical type pizza / pitta. The earliest sure Greek instance is in Theophilactus, who from 1090 to 1108 was bishop of Bulgaria with his seat in Ochrida. It is unclear whether the etymology could be traced to the fifth century C.E., to Hesychius’ glosses πήτεα: πίτυρα ‘bran’ and πητίτης: πιτύρινοι άρτοι ‘bran breads’. Alinei and Nissan (2007) proposed that Byzantine Greek borrowed pitta or pita from Christian Middle Aramaic, i.e., Syriac or some vernacular, as Aramaic pitta ‘bread’, cf. Hebrew pat, pitt- (historically, there were older developments in the biblical period, apparently, from such bread being suitable for tearing pieces from it). Note however that the borrowing from Middle Aramaic into Greek must have been late enough (thus, Byzantine) for the Northwest Semitic phoneme /p/ to have in the source language the allophones [p] and [f], rather than [φ] and [f] (which was still the case in Roman-age Hebrew, as opposed to early medieval Hebrew).

  • Hungarian Cookbooks for Israeli Readers: a Comparative Literary-Cultural Analysis.” Hungarian Cultural Studies
    Rosen, Ilana. “Hungarian Cookbooks for Israeli Readers: A Comparative Literary-Cultural Analysis.” Hungarian Cultural Studies. e-Journal of the American Hungarian Educators Association, Volume 13 (2020) DOI: 10.5195/ahea.2020.392 Hungarian Cookbooks for Israeli Readers: A Comparative Literary- Cultural Analysis Ilana Rosen Abstract: How long and how strong is Diasporic memory? How many generations can it encompass? How deeply can generations that never lived in the old country relate to its landscape, language, colors and tastes? In the case of Israelis of Hungarian origin, these questions inevitably have to do with the history of Hungarian Jews in the late nineteenth- and early-to-mid twentieth-century, with a focus placed more acutely upon World War II and the Holocaust. Written by a female Israeli researcher of folk and documentary culture who belongs to the second-generation of Hungarian-Jewish Holocaust survivors, the present article strives to deal with the foregoing and other relevant questions through a comparative literary-cultural analysis of the only two presently existing Hebrew-language Hungarian cookbooks. These two cookbooks were published in Israel in 1987 and 2009, respectively, by two male cultural celebrities, the first by a Hungarian-born journalist, author and politician and the second by an Israeli-born gastronomer and grandson of Hungarian-Israelis. Keywords: Cookbook, alimentary life writing, Hungarian-Israelis, Holocaust, Yosef Tommy Lapid, Ofer Vardi Biography: Ilana Rosen, of the Department of Hebrew Literature at the Ben Gurion University of the Negev, is a researcher of folk and documentary literature of Jews and Israelis in the twentieth century. Her last study, Pioneers in Practice: An Analysis of Documentary Literature by Veteran Residents of the Israeli South, was published in 2016 by the Ben Gurion Institute for the Study of Israel and Zionism.
