How I learned to make babka and rugelach from the master, Dorie Greenspan
My confession to Dorie Greenspan, the five-time James Beard Award-winning author of the delightful new cookbook, “Baking With Dorie,” was flat-out embarrassing: Until now, I’d never made either babka or rugelach.

The Chocolate Gelt Martini
Decked out for Hanukkah, our chocolate martini glitters with golden gelt. A decadent dessert in drink form, this chocolate-milk-for-grownups can be enhanced with a splash of another flavored liqueur — but the simplest version is dangerously delicious just as it is.

It makes for a great Hanukkah gift and a great Gibson — a martini garnished with onions instead of olives. For this recipe we pickled our own, but the little guys in the jar work fine too.
The Manhattan Deli
Our twist on the Manhattan is redolent of Jewish rye because we infuse the whiskey with caraway seeds. Garnished with cucumber and dill, this fragrant drink smells more than a little like Katz’s Deli.
The Miracle Martini
Behold! In this version of the classic cocktail, olives — which usually take us only through a sip or so — last long enough to be savored with the drink from start to finish.
