Hanukkah Recipes & Cookbooks

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.
