Check out Betsy Becker’s awesome post on latkes aka “Jewish Soul Food” in a recent Whole Foods blog item. I was honored that Betsy gave a shout-out and linked to my blog about Chanukah. She says:

Chicken soup may be the “Jewish penicillin,” but latkes are the “Jewish soul food.” And there’s nothing I’m craving more this Hanukkah than a plateful of earthy, humble, pan-fried potato pancakes – warm and crispy on the outside, soft and savory on the inside – shared with friends and loved ones, with a little sour cream on the side.

There is also a link to some Chanukah recipes from Whole Foods including ginger applesauce, brisket, two kinds of potato latkes, two kinds of rugelach, lentil soup, and zucchini potato latkes. I’m curious to try the Fig Rugelach for an 8th night of Chanukah party I’m co-hosting on Sunday.
