Hanukkah at Home

by Anya Hoffman on December 05, 2012

Celebrate the first night of Hanukkah with a home-cooked meal of roast chicken, a simple salad, and, of course, latkes. End the evening with a rustic apple and walnut tart and a rousing game of dreidel.

Sonny's Special Potato Latkes

The recipe that took our very own Mitchell Davis to "the top of the latke world," as he wrote in his 2002 book, The Mensch Chef. No cumin seeds or zucchini to be found here: these are the classic, golden latkes of your childhood.

Roast Chicken

James Peterson's straightforward recipe for this most comforting of comfort foods.

Winter Salad of Balsamic-Glazed Turnips and Baby Greens

Make the most of winter ingredients with a gorgeous salad of glazed, sweet roasted turnips and peppery greens.

Free-Form Apple-Walnut Tart

The dough for this tart calls for cornmeal and is sturdier than most pie crusts, which makes it easy to transfer to the baking sheet and fold around the filling.
