Rosh Hashana (the celebration of Jewish New Year) begins at sundown on Sunday, September 9, and from now until then Paula Shoyer‘s phone is going to be ringing off the hook.

There’s a reason Paula is in such high demand this time of year: She’s a trusted authority on traditional and contemporary Jewish recipes and has written four cookbooks on the subject, including The Kosher Baker, The Holiday Kosher Baker, The New Passover Menu, and her latest, The Healthy Jewish Kitchen. Paula has made it her mission to take the calories out of comfort foods, and show that lighter takes on traditional favorites can still be delicious.

When we caught up with Paula, she had a brisket in the oven and was in the middle of cooking her second (out of three) complete holiday meals in the span of one week: “I cooked a whole Rosh Hashanah meal for an event yesterday in New Hampshire, came home, made another entire meal for a TV segment tomorrow, and now I actually have to cook for the holiday,” she tells me. “It’s non-stop holiday food around here — the good stuff.”

We asked for some of Paula’s best tips — and how she plans to celebrate the Jewish holiday season (aside from cooking around the clock).

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
