Hanukkah, the festival of lights, is one of the highlights of the feasting season in the Jewish community, with a parade of traditional foods enjoyed with friends and family over 8 days. Crispy, fried, irresistible, Hanukkah wouldn’t be the same without latkes – a true sign of celebration, and Jonathan Silverberg’s deep love for latkes led him to use them as bread for sandwiches at his popular Seattle food truck Napkin Friends! Join him in class as he shares stories of the season while making some of his holiday favorites. On the menu: latkes with sour cream and homemade applesauce; red wine-braised brisket with spiced tomato jam; roasted root vegetable tzimmes; and sufginyot (jelly-filled donuts).
