How the Nazis robbed Alice Urbach of her cookbook
Growing up, there were always two copies of the cookbook “So kocht man in Wien!” (That’s How You Cook in Vienna!) in the German historian Karina Urbach’s family home. There was the original, written by her grandmother, Alice, first published in Vienna in 1935. Some 500 pages long, the book is encyclopedic, an amalgam of…

Cinnamon sugar snowflake cookies with rich and creamy cocoa
Warm cinnamon and sugar pairs perfectly dipped in this ultra-rich cocoa, which almost acts as a sauce. This cozy dessert is pretty, fancy enough for Shabbat but fun and relaxed enough for a snow day. The cocoa is very rich so the portion here would be a small mug or half a large mug with…

There is no yeast, so they come together quickly and easily. I used coconut milk as a fun way to make it pareve, but you could use real milk if…

Tahini Hot Chocolate
Until embarrassingly recently, I’d only ever made hot chocolate from a store-bought mix, and that might have been why I phased it out of my life. most of those mixes are soo wildly sweet that I always felt like I’d have to choose between hot chocolate and sufganiyot or some other holiday dessert, out of…

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. 2–3 tablespoons chocolate syrup Chocolate gelt coins 1½ ounces potato vodka 1½ ounces chocolate…

Olive Oil Gibson
The gin in this recipe is something of a revelation: It’s infused with olive branch and olive oil, which not only impart woodsy, savory character but also serve nicely as a symbol of the holiday. It makes for a great Hanukkah gift and a great Gibson — a martini garnished with onions instead of olives….

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. For the caraway-infused rye: (Quantities are per cocktail, but consider making a larger batch, increasing quantities accordingly.) ½ teaspoon caraway seeds,…
