A starring role for the holidays, let's give it up for the Sweet Potato!
With Hanukkah jamming with Xmas this year, it sure is fun to see all of the POTATO, sweet or savory, recipes out there plus a bunch of other yummy traditional dishes with a twist!
NC culinarian, Marcie Cohen Ferris and author of Matzoh Ball Gumbo: Culinary Tales of the Jewish South (and much more!) shared her Hanukkah memories in this piece and includes this delish LATKE recipe by Miriam Rubin, a culinary friend to NC and author of TOMATOES
(UNC Press Savor the South series).
Root veggies actually ARE the big stars of winter and holiday foods and cocktails ( YEP, think crushed radish or tomato and of course, slightly pickled roots as tasty garnishes!). Check out yummly.com for recipe ideas!
We love sharing recipes from wonderful chefs who create around these underground gems. Turnips never looked so good as paired with sweet 'taters - check it out.
Kwanzaa whispers 'good night' to Christmas on the 26th , (along with Boxing day!) and recipes from Kwanzaa Culinarians bring on the sweet potato - SWEET POTATO!

Enjoy your kitchen and table time over the next few weeks with holidays dancing like stars in the sky! Happy Holidays to you from us!
