Sundown December 4th marks the first night of Hanukkah, and the start of eight days of celebration. Symbolic dishes are an integral part of the holiday and you'll find many Hanukkah foods are fried in oil, which symbolizes the oil that lasted for eight days. Scrumptious, sweet and savory treats abound during the season and we've got the recipes to prove it. Perhaps you are hosting a Hanukkah party this year? Premium members can use our menus feature to help plan their feast or simply borrow a members' special menu for your big night. Or maybe you'll be attending a party - be a mensch and bring along some latkes, sufganiot, or kugel to share. Enjoy the glow of the menorah, delectable food, and cheer. Happy Hanukkah everyone!
