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.
