When chef Saul Finberg was stood down in his role at Bistro Guillaume earlier this year, he decided to get innovative. The result? Delicious babkas and baked goods for us to enjoy in the comfort of our own homes. Try out some of his Rosh Hashanah specials, which include honey apple caramel babka, a honey dacquoise sponge, or a brown butter apple crumble. Each item serves eight to ten people and can be ordered by sliding into his Instagram DMs.
