The Ultimate Hanukkah Recipe Guide For 8 Delicious Nights

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
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.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
