I called her, but she says she can't really remember now what the recipe was. I'm dying to make it. It's a very simple, straightforward sweet noodle kugel with no cheese, no sour cream, and no fruit. It may have had cinnamon, but I'm not certain. I've been searching endlessly on the internet, and most recipes I'm finding have all kinds of frou-frou additions - one even included an entire can of fruit cocktail in heavy syrup - blasphemy!!! I'm a kugel purist, and I'm hoping someone else out there is, too. Anyone have a recipe?

One is from Kosher Cuisine by Helen Nash, the other from the oldie but goodie Jewish Cookery by Leah W. Leonard. Let me know if you would like me to paraphrase the recipes on the Home Cooking page or to e-mail them...They are pretty similar, the ingredient ratios are essentially the same. I think it is hard to find simple kugels now - they aren't cooked very frequently by most. When you look at the old cookbooks there were dozens of varieties. Not just noodle or potato, many use bread or strudel dough! So the rich ones end up being served for Holidays and the simple ones fade away.

Putting wierd stuff in kugel is like putting blue berries etc. in bagels. Anyway, I have the recipe. I will find it and post it for you.
