I love this recipe, and most of all I love the sisters, “bound by love so fierce that it often excluded their husbands but extended monumentally, and quite judgmentally, to each other.” This sounds very much like My Beloved’s Aunts Sally and Min, a fearsome duo of whom I’ve heard many a story. However, I don’t think either had a kugel recipe worth a damn.

I’ve shared this recipe with lots of friends and it turns out it’s exactly the way my friend Deedee’s mom used to make it, back in the day. She was so happy to find it.

I am intrigued by the pineapple! But if I were to make this I may just eat the whole thing.

This recipe is so tasty, thanks for sharing it! I love that there’s something I can do with egg noodles that doesn’t involve soup. Perfect comfort food to pack for lunch on a dreary day! We included in a roundup of packed lunch ideas for Poor Taste magazine.

Have used this recipe twice already (kugel fanatic) and am going to adopt it as my recipe of choice. About to make it again, sharing with some Japanese friends in Tokyo, natch! XD

Thank you for your great kugel recipe and story. I grew up in the Fairfax district of L.A., and I’m sure was one of the few Japanese American kids privileged to sit around my friends’ dining room tables and enjoy kugel, briskets, and Seder dinners.

I’m glad I made my very first kugel from your Aunt Ruth’s recipe…it was simply dreamy and will be a permanent card in my recipe book!

All the Bubbes and Tantes in my (and my wife’s) family are gone now, and my wife and I have craved real old fashioned sweet noodle kugel! None of the recipes I’ve been able to find (until this one) have the pineapple and raisins like my Nanny’s and my Mother’s. Take it from a (very) experienced kugel-eater…you NEED the cinnamon!

Recipe cards are the gastronomic DNA of family, as proved here. Lovely. Thank you.

Kang: hope you had the chance to try some yourself – it’s sooo good.

Robin: just like your Grandma’s recipe – Aunt Shirley’s – I only have eyes for the sweet versions. Whole Foods has kugel?

Karen: welcome – oh, maple sugar! I have such a thing for maple sugar and picked some up last time I was in New Hampshire. Now I’m out, and would like some to top my kugel.

Stacey Snacks: hello! I’ve had apple versions before – like your grandma’s, I’ll bet it’s fantastic.

This is my grandma’s recipe, with the addition of a grated apple and omit the pineapple.
I found you on tastespotting and want a piece of kugel!
