POSTED BY
Evelyn Kanter

best hanukkah events for families NYC latke festival recipe contestThere’s a new wrinkle for the 11th edition of the annual NYC Latke Festival this year – a latke recipe contest for home cooks. 

The winning recipe will be served at the festival, at the Brooklyn Museum on Dec. 16, and become part of the Jewish Food Society recipe archives.

So get cooking on Grandma’s latke recipe, Tanta Irma’s latke recipe, or your own. The winner will be chosen by Nov. 26.

The Latke Festival is a benefit for The Sylvia Center, a nonprofit nutrition education program that focuses on teaching cooking in underserved communities, inspiring children, teens and their families to eat well through hands-on experiences on the farm and in the kitchen.to inspire young people to make healthier eating choices, including teaching them to cook and bake nutritious food.

The annual event is organized by Great Performances Catering

The contest is the brainchild of Great Performances founder and CEO Liz Neumark and Naama Shefi, executive director of the Jewish Food Society, to give everyone with a favorite latke recipe the chance to have it sampled by the 700-plus people who attend the event each year.

Submit your favorite latke recipe here. 

It can be old school traditional or a modern creative take on the classic potato pancake.  The main requirement is that it is delicious.

NYC latke festivalEven if you don’t have a recipe to submit, you can nosh your way around the Latke Festival, and know that you are noshing for a good cause.

Tickets start at $60, and all net proceeds go to The Sylvia Center, as they have since 2008.

Get tickets here with no service charge.

The Latke Festival is 6pm to 8:30pm, Monday, Dec. 16 at the Brooklyn Museum..
