Hanukkah at Home

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.

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.

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

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

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.
