Hanukkah Recipes

These recipes are drawn from articles that have been published on our site over the years.

Traditionally, Ashkenazi Jews - those from Eastern Europe - have made latkehs, while Israeli Jews make doughnuts called sufganiyot. But what it all comes down to is oil. We're celebrating the miracle of a drop of oil that lasted eight nights. And we're cooking up our food in plenty of oil too.
