Except it was oil, not cell phone battery. We talk more about the story of Hanukkah in The New Yiddish Kitchen, which I highly recommend. I’m biased, but it really is a great book.
Whether you celebrate Hanukkah or not, here are some fun things to cook next week:

LATKES – I’ve made approximately 8 million latkes, and I’ve gotten pretty good at it. The only Latke recipe you’ll need!

Did you know you can make Apple Sauce in the Instant Pot? You can! And bonus: it’s the best Apple Sauce ever.

FRENCH ONION BRISKET WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS. It’s even better made the day ahead, which makes for easy entertaining. Or made over the weekend and enjoyed during the week!
