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.

Growing up in France, I never realized how my favorite Jewish recipes could be so different than the ones in the USA. I had never heard of latkes or suvganiot, but I had a lot of different and delicious recipes that meant Hanukkah to me, that I would love to share. Don't let the words "French Cuisine" scare you though! These recipes are simple, healthy, and easy, but most importantly, strictly kosher. They are a great alternative for those who would love to try something original for Hanukkah or any other occasion. |

Activities, Crafts, Recipes, and More!
Learn a little about the history and traditions of Hanukkah. Whether you are Jewish or not you will still love to read the stories, do the activities, and try the recipes, and more! Kids will love to help celebrate this sacred holiday.
Festive Hanukkah reason-behind-the-recipe from Hanukkah Activities, Crafts, Recipes, and More!: Latkes are potato pancakes fried in oil. The reason Latkes are such a popular Hanukkah recipe is because oil is a reminder of the miraculous oil that lasted for eight days when the Temple of Jerusalem was rededicated.
Spinning dreidels, sizzling latkes, singing children at the synagogue, flickering candles, and the scent of sweet sufganiyot wafting throughout the house... these are some of my favorite sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish holiday in December. More than 2,000 years ago, a small band of Jewish rebels, armed with their faith in God, defeated a mighty army from a mighty empire. Hanukkah celebrates this important victory that led to the freedom and independence of the Jewish people.
This book is packed with wonderful stories, interesting facts, great crafts, and lots more for you to enjoy during the Hanukkah season (or anytime you just WANT it to be Hanukkah!). I've included games, songs, puzzles, trivia, projects, recipes, and even a family Hanukkah newsletter!
Remember, when it comes to celebrating Hanukkah with your loved ones, a truly creative mind can always come up with endless ideas! This special season is celebrated by children all around the world from Israel to America. So whether you are building a snowman or a sandcastle this December, I hope this activity book helps you learn more about this special holiday.
Happy Hanukkah!
