After watching #cooking shows, I wonder if #chefs / #cooks can finish preparing any meal without a 10-second countdown timer screaming at them while they drip their sweat into the #food.

"When #Ashkenazi #Jewish people emigrated to the #US in the early 20th century, #latkes came along for the ride. They’re as popular as ever in Jewish-#American #Hanukkah #cooking, though they’re now made vegetable #oil instead of #shmaltz. They’re so popular in fact that they’ve gone commercial, with some grocery stores carrying dry latke mixes or ready-made frozen latkes. It's a workout to shred #potatoes and make them by hand, so, it’s not surprising that there’s now a market for a quick alternative.

But which brand tastes like homemade? We asked a panel of Jewish professional #chefs to find out what the best store-bought latke is—plus, the best way to reheat them and ideas for serving this traditional Hanukkah treat."

The British chef behind the Instagram account RateMyChives - in which he judges the quality of chefs' and home cooks' piles of minced herbs - recalls the moment several years ago when he realized the significance of a nicely chopped chive. It came, inauspiciously, during a drunken conversation with a date. Read More , #Chopping #chives #competitive #sport #Chefs #chasing #perfect #score

"Eight hundred and eleven pounds of potatoes, 402 #challahs, 68 #chefs, 59 people named David and 27 people named Rachel. It all adds up to the world’s largest #Shabbat #dinner, which was organized by Temple Emanuel’s Streicker Center and held at the Javits Center on Friday night.

Some 2,800 #Jewish #NewYorkers packed the top floor of Javits North on 11th Avenue to participate in The Big Shabbat — an official attempt to host the largest #Shabbatdinner in history, as verified by the #GuinnessBook of #WorldRecords.

More than a year in the making, the massive dinner spotlighted dishes created by high-profile #Jewishchefs (Beejhy Barhany, Jake Cohen, Joan Nathan and Adeena Sussman) and featured entertainment from the likes of #Broadway stars Steven Skybell and Shoshana Bean, who performed “Sabbath Prayer” from “Fiddler on the Roof.”
