Food

Yes, there's some level of method to the madness.

When my dad was diagnosed with lymphoma last year, I turned to the Jewish tradition of appetizing foods for comfort.

This easy, hearty, grainy salad is full of roasted root vegetables, pomegranate and dill. It's perfect for your Hanukkah table.

For a Hannukah dessert, core little McIntosh apples, sprinkle them with sugar and spice, and wrap them in pastry. While they’re turning puffed and golden, you’ll make a caramel sauce out of Manischewitz. 

Latkes are traditionally served with applesauce and sour cream, but here we propose a herbaceous green goddess sauce, a play on the sour cream that provides a lot more interest and oomph.
