The Challah Fame is a OneTable series that celebrates someone who loves to make challah (or other delicious food!) and does so as a form of self-care, self-expression, as a business, or for any other reason.

The pandemic has, for most of us, meant more time at home, and in turn (maybe?!) more opportunities to cook. We got the scoop on how OneTable hosts have used this unusual time to level up and try new recipes and traditions at their Shabbat table. Now, we’re sharing their dishes and stories to celebrate the power of Shabbat during  *an unprecedented time* and inducting them into the Challah Fame!

Then, we invite you to make this dish or one of your favorites and tag us @onetableshabbat. 

Becca is a blogger, where you can find her at @halfhalftravel! She shared with us: 

Mentally, what happened to us (my husband and I) during quarantine, was that every day felt the same and Shabbat just felt like the  punctuation we needed to end the week. We used to welcome 6-10 people at our table, and now it’s just the two of us. But even when it’s just us in my apartment, OneTable has made us feel like this is something we can definitely do every Friday. 

We love to make Shabbat almost vegan or incorporate mindfulness/wellness goals into the evening. My husband and I love to cook and watch cooking videos on YouTube, so Covid has been a great time to experiment with new recipes.
