Food tells the story of our people, and doughnuts are no exception. These delicious, fried dough treats date back all the way to Jews in the New World. Sufganiyot – doughnuts filled with fruit jam filling and sprinkled with sugar – are the signature food of Hanukkah since 1920. Why? Because the Israeli Labor Federation declared them so, and we’re so glad they did because it’s what we look forward to most this holiday.
If you are looking to make classic Sufganiyot with a little less oil and clean-up, the chefs at JCHC have got you covered with this air-fryer recipe! Sufganiyot Ingredients:

This centuries-old cookie is a staple in our culture. Even though Mandelbrot has been around for so long, there are many different variations to enjoy. Variations that include dried fruit, nuts, and even sprinkles! But for today, we’re going to share the signature recipe from our chefs at Lester Senior Living. Did we mention it includes chocolate chips? Yum.

The leaves are changing, there is a crisp feeling in the air and it is time to indulge in all the foods classic to this season, like apples, pumpkins and butternut squash. If you’re planning to share a meal under the Sukkah, butternut squash soup is the perfect, fall comfort food. Especially if it is a chilly autumn day. This butternut squash soup is a favorite of our chefs and residents at JCHC’s Lester Senior Living. We highly recommend making extra because this soup can easily be reheated, and will be just as delicious to have again later in the week!

It’s almost Rosh Hashanah and we hope everyone has a sweet new year. In preparation for this holiday, and to ensure this new year is sweeter than the last, we must prepare the key foods of Rosh Hashanah. Perhaps the most delicious being the honey apple cake. Eating honey was first referenced in the book of Nehemiah and eating red apples was first dated back to Rosh Hashanah in 1208. That’s a lot of honey and apples over the years! This traditional recipe provided by our chefs at the Lester assisted living community in Morris County combines both of these classic foods in the tastiest way.
