We made it! To soup season, bowl food season, snow season, the season to be jolly, etc., etc.

December is all about hunkering down with hearty dinners, indulging in rich desserts and — of course — celebrating Hanukkah with festive fried food. So put on your stretchy pants and knitted sweater (or Hanukkah pyjamas!), curl up in your favorite armchair and feast your eyes on these seven cozy Jewish dinners.

From a grandmother-approved chicken paprikash recipe to beloved Syrian cherry meatballs; a rustic Balkan vegetable stew that keeps for days in the fridge to a decadent eggnog challah bread budding, there’s something here for everyone.

And, on that note: Please rate any recipes that you try. It helps to grow our community and we love to hear from you!
