Behind The Name

The name "Kugelahs" came upon me all of a sudden, literally in my dreams, and I was set on that name ever since. It reflects my upbringing and what I want to convey through my kugels. Growing up in an Ashkenazi Jewish family, we always used the term of endearment, "bubelah." It’s a Yiddish word that translates to "sweetie." It creates a sense of nostalgia and warmth. I always knew when things were tough, my family called me bubelah and always ensured me that everything would be ok. Kugelahs was inspired by this feeling and word. My hope is that when someone sees the name and eats my kugel, they are immediately overcome with a sense of safety and feel at home.
