The Ultimate Hanukkah Recipe Guide For 8 Delicious Nights

By Liza Schoenfein December 10, 2017

Latkes and sufganiyot are the unrefuted stars of the Hanukkah culinary landscape, but they are by no means the only festive foods to make and eat during the holiday. For a night or two we might convince ourselves that we could live on all that golden-fried goodness, but at some point the need for protein, green vegetables and other holiday fare makes itself apparent.

We’ve got you covered. Here are a variety of delectable dishes — some symbolic because of the oil (whether used for frying or dousing); others, because of the dairy. The rest of the recipes round out your winter holiday menu with dishes from holiday tables around the world.
