Hanukkah Cookbooks and Recipes
Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday lasting
eight days. It commemorates events of the 2nd century BCE; specifically,
the rededication of the Second Temple in
Jerusalem
following the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire, and
the Hanukkah miracle (there was only
enough consecrated olive oil to burn for one day, but the eternal flame miraculously
continued to burn for eight days, giving enough time to prepare and consecrate new oil).
Hanukkah lasts 8 days and has many rituals and traditions
associated with the holiday. Because of the role of olive oil in the Hanukkah miracle, fried foods, fried in olive oil of
course, tend to be associated with this time.
Some Hanukkah recipes and dishes include:
- Latkes - Fried potato pancakes.
- Sufganiyah - Ball-shaped doughnuts, fried, injected with jelly or custard, and then covered
with powdered sugar. Sufganiyah are especially popular in
Israel, and eaten both before
and during the Hanukkah period.

Learn about one of the most vital subtopics in Jewish cooking: preserved foods Jewish cooks, even casual ones, are proud of the history of preserved foods in Jewish life, from the time of living in a desert two millennia ago to the era in which Jews lived in European ghettoes with no refrigeration during the last century. In a significant sense, the Jewish tradition of preserved foods is a symbol of the Jewish will to survive. About 35 of the 75 recipes in this book are for fruit jams and preserves, from Queen Esther's Apricot-Poppyseed Jam or Slow Cooker Peach Levkar to Quince Paste, Pear Butter, and Dried Fig, Apple, and Raisin Jam. About 30 are for pickles and other savory preserves, including Shakshuka, Pickled Carrots Two Ways, and Lacto-Fermented Kosher Dills. The remaining 10 recipes bear the tag "Use Your Preserves," and these cover some of the ways that preserves are used in holiday preparations, like Sephardic Date Charoset, Rugelach, or Hamantaschen. The book often highlights holiday cooking, because there are many Jewish readers who cook "Jewish food" only on holidays. Many recipes are the author's own creations and have never appeared before in print or online. With terrific color photos by the Seattle photographer Leigh Olson, rich and detailed background info about Jewish food traditions, and, above all, with terrific and tasty recipes both sweet and savory, this book is a celebration of some of the best foods Jewish cooks have ever created. |
