-- Eight Nights of Festive Eating for Hanukah Featuring Chef Susan Barocas & Veteran Food Writer Bonnie Benwick -- Sunday, December 15th, 11:00 am - 2:00 pm, at the Hill Center
Symbolic foods are very much a part of the eight-day Jewish holiday of Hanukah. Based on the story of the holiday, this means dairy dishes and foods cooked in oil. Many of us know about potato latkes, but Jews around the world have a wide variety of sweet and savory holiday dishes. Whether you want new ideas for your Hanukah celebrations or just want to enjoy learning some delicious dishes, join chef Susan Barocas and food writer Bonnie Benwick for this hands-on class with lots of eating. Complimentary beer and wine will be served.
