Simchat Torah Menu 2014

Is it too late to post my Simchat Torah menu? Being bogged down with catering, Simchat Torah is the only meal I can manage to entertain over Sukkot and I like to make it interesting. I try to do a combination of some traditional foods (stuffed cabbage) and interesting additions (coconut chicken) and somehow every Simchat Torah, even after the previous many days of eating way more heavy meals than can possibly be healthy, my guests and I manage to muster our appetites for one more delicious meal. Hope this menu inspires you as you make yours! Enjoy!
